Four Script in Hand Comedy Mystery Plays: One Act Comedies

By Bruce Kane

All of the plays in this collection, "Murder Elsinore," "Bite Me," "MacBeth The Knife" and "The Big Snooze" are designed as script in hand, live on stage recreations of an old time radio broadcast or a brand new comedy mystery podcast. The plays are written to be performed by actors at microphones reading from scripts. The set may be as minimal as a row of chairs for the actors and two or three microphones for them to speak into. It can also be as elaborate as a full recreation of a recording studio or anything in between. The cast can be a full complement of actors or a minimal number playing all the parts and changing their vocal characteristics to represent the characters they are portraying. Because the actors will be reading from scripts rehearsal times can be reduced although performances should be honed before going on stage. Sound effects and music can be performed live on stage or recorded and played back electronically. The latter may provide you with more variety and flexibility. However you choose to mount your productions, keep in mind they are comedies, so hopefully you will have as much fun performing them as the audience will have watching you.
