Michael Scanlan

Published by Samuel French Inc

6 Male 7 Female

Includes Just a Joke & Of Widows and Vegetables

Just a Joke tells the story of Libby Chandler, a fascinating young girl who desperately wants to be a stand-up comic

The play follows her throughout her routine in a talent show, and although she is somewhat successful at it, it is at the expense of hurting her family and friends, whom she almost cruelly imitates

Soon her sense of humor causes more hardship than laughs, and she is placed in the precarious position of having to choose between the acceptance of the crowd and the love of her family

Of Widows and Vegetables is a play in the tradition of commedia dell'arte, and tells the story of Harlequin, a spontaneously mischievous character, and explores love and money, marriage and virginal vestitude, zucchinis and death, lentils and tap dancing widows - but it is so much more than that!

Just a Joke, 8f - Of Widows and Vegetables - 7m. 4f + Extras
