Step into the glow of the studio lights and the crackle of vintage radio, where mystery meets mayhem and laughter takes center stage. Script In Hand - Two Comedy Mystery Plays revives the spirit of the classic radio whodunit-complete with sound effects, quick-fire dialogue, and a cast armed only with scripts, voices, and impeccable timing. These two royalty-free one comedies invite theater groups of any size to stage an evening of fast-paced fun with minimal sets, costumes, or rehearsal. Actors can play multiple roles, and vocal talent-not looks-is the star of the show. Meet Dick Shamus, Fictional Detective, ace investigator for the F.B.I.-the Fictional Bureau of Investigation. Hard-boiled with a side of irony, Shamus solves crimes not in the streets but in the pages of literature itself. In The Really Big Dog of the Baskervilles, Shamus gets tangled up with a beautiful woman, her shady "brother," and a very British butler, when he heads to Sherlock Holmes country to stop an English lord from becoming the next victim of a centuries-old curse. Then, in Generic Hospital, Shamus dives into the melodramatic and romantic entanglements that make up the world of the daytime drama, when he is hired by a beautiful woman-with a knife in her back-to find out who put it there. Smart, nostalgic, and gloriously absurd-Script In Hand, Two Comedy Mystery Plays proves that the best mysteries are the ones that make you laugh while you try to figure out whodunit. Bruce Kane's comedy plays have been presented in over 700 venues in 33 countries. He has also written and produced for American television.
