The Theatre of Your Mind
Imagine, if you will ...
Sir Geoffrye and Lady Hilarye
Sleeping peacefully on their Marble Tomb these last Six Hundred Years
Suddenly woken by the thump of Rock Music from the Crypt beneath
Or imagine a Gala performance of Shakespeare
A Special Treat where the sponsor's Guests are being wined and dined On Stage as Extras
In the Banquet Scene
And now imagine an Eternal Triangle set in an Airport Departure Lounge
With Two Lovers
And lots of Flight Announcements
The thirty Sketches each run about 5 minutes
Also makes a great gift!
REVIEWS
"Very funny . . . It's like watching the most abstract, highbrow TV sketch show you can imagine . . . clever, light-spirited, linguistically perverse readers will fall in love with it and cherish it forever" ~ The Spectator
"A delight, and often extremely funny . . . More fun and insights are packed into these playlets than can be found in most dramas 10 times their length" ~ Sunday Times
"A delectably droll collection of theatrical diversions . . . For lovers of classic farce, Monty Python and the wildly diverse British sense of humor' ~ Kirkus Reviews
