A short comic play about the novelty of the first Olympic games in Ancient Greece. Part of this play lends itself to a bit of movie making that you can insert into the performance. I did it in a speeded up 'Goodies/Benny Hill' seventies style that worked really well although you could do it as a black and white silent, or as live stage acting. The possibilities are endless and exciting!!! You could make a film out of the whole thing - and don't worry, all nakedness is heavily censored (which is more than can be said for Ancient Greek pottery!!)
Could be used in the assembly hall, theatre or classroom, or as an inspiration for comic script writing. Enjoy.
This historical 'mockumentary' sweeps humorously through technology and inventions of the modern(ish) age. It can be used as a stand alone fun drama or assembly, or possibly a teaching resource (you could print it out and do handwriting practice on the back!) There are loads of parts so it is useful for a class.
Can be used in the assembly hall, theatre or classroom.
There’s always some kind of election going on in the UK, albeit local, general, mayoral or X -factor vote. This play has lots of parts and whizzes through the history of parliament and the right to vote with lots of humour.
Can be used as a sketch or assembly performance, or as part of a larger play. Could also be used as a resource in the classroom for a lesson on script writing.
An epic tale of Ancient Greece. This has five scenes and almost constitutes a complete play. This is really funny and is a great excuse for going mental with costumes, scenery, music, sound effects and jokes about olives. Just make sure that you have a shed load of white bed sheets before you start!
Can be used in class assemblies, in the theatre or as part of a comic end of year review, or, as an inspiration for script writing in the classroom. If you are studying Ancient Greece as a topic, this play is for you!
