Three Comedy Sketches

The Heir's Return! is an hilarious burlesque in which the repetitive dialogue, mindless patriotism and fatuous plot of a typical Victorian dramatic sketch are mercilessly guyed. Intended for inclusion in an Old Time Music Hall evening the piece commences with the late arrival of the not-too distinguished actor Mr D'Arcy Hilliard and his slightly inebriated wife. After apologies to the chairman they disappear into the wings, determined to give

the audience the thrill of a lifetime . . .



The Code of the West is a mime piece with suitable(?) actions by the cast accompanying the recitation of a poem of truly epic stature. The Ranch Boss, the Wicked Mayor, the Gunslinger, the Hero, the Heroine and the Saloon

Gal - a rich canvas of life in the old Wild West is starkly depicted in these unforgettable stanzas.



The Day of Reckoning is specially written for an all-female cast. but like the other two sketches is simple to stage. With a plot of ludicrously labyrinthine complexity and a plethora of Gilbertian coincidences this one-act play

charts the startling change in for tunes of a poor but honest widow and her daughter not to mention their eccentric neighbour. Or is she more than just a neighbour ...?
