Three Short Plays

By Jonathan Ridler

This collection of three short plays provides a delightful addition to the repertoire of any theatre troupe, amateur or professional.
Each individual play provides a different style of stage production and atmosphere. From the stark single chair of the mystical monologue of Jacob's Giraffe, to the modest prop of a bench that hosts a riotous ensemble of eccentric personalities in Bench Press (a play without words), to the modern-day parable of The Pentillionaire whose mysterious narrative tale is counter-pointed with the daft interpretation of the story by a television reporter, the three plays offer variations of entertainment that are sure to satisfy and please audiences and performers alike.
With each work needing minimal resources, the production costs are low, yet all-the-more effective for that elegant simplicity. The duration of each play being less than 10 minutes is also conducive to incorporation of any or all of them in a larger programme of suitably amenable works.
Whilst originally written for amateur players, the multi-layered material can also serve professional performers well, and be as simply or as thoughtfully received by audiences in as many ways as there are venues for the performances.
