2 Act Play
Mary, a bitter young orphan girl from India, is brought to England to live with her uncle on the Yorkshire Moors. Upon encountering numerous problems in adjusting to the rigid, lonely, and unfamiliar life of her uncle's mansion, she gradually befriends Dicken and her cousin Colin. Together, they venture to restore the Secret Garden, into which entry had been forbidden by Mary's uncle. The story culminates when the garden flourishes once again; and Mary's cousin is able to walk again, thanks to her, after spending years confined to a bed, believing he was forever destined to be a hunchback. Mary's Secret Garden conveys a message of hope, a message based on the powerful role of friendship in bringing about a change for the better.
Total Cast, 9. 3 Female, 3 Male, 3 Children (1F, 2M)

In a world where reality and entertainment are continuously colliding, Live! follows ABN network president of programming, Katy Courbet and her team, as inspiration strikes to create the most daring reality program ever.

The Story |
|
| |
2 Act Play
The play is to be performed as a cross between a film and a play with opening and closing credits a la film with the middle being the play. It is entirely set in the parlour of a mid-terrace house of a coal miner and his family in South Wales on the 2 nd & 3 rd September 1939 and all but finishes at 11.15 AM with the announcement of the outbreak of the 2 nd World War. The announcement is followed by a montage of WW2 pictures in chronological order set to a suitably moving track (perhaps Cat Stevens’ – How can I tell you I love you?). After the montage Twm returns from the war a ‘near to broken’ man.
Total Cast, 6. 4 Female, 2 Male.
