I'm in need of seduction:

Somebody's been spending too much time on CC...

Sorry, mate. I didn't realize they wanted you to virtually sign up to see some of it...
Here's a small bit - our hero Jim Ladd has been tied up by the Bad Guys in the caves on Skeleton Island along with reformed pirate Mrs Smee and Ben Cannon. Mrs Shoe (another reformed pirate) arrives. You may need to read this aloud to yourself to get what's going on...

[enter Shoe]
Shoe:
Pssst!
Jim:
Pssst!
Shoe:
Who's that?
Jim:
's me.
Shoe:
Smee?
Smee:
No, "Smee"'s me.
Jim:
Yes, that's Smee. This is me.
shoe:
you're both Smee?
Jim:
No. I'm Jim.
Smee:
Yes, Jim, Jim's you, Smee's me.
Shoe:
Jim's Shoe? No, I'm Shoe. Shoe's me.
Jim:
Shoe is Smee? I thought Smee was you!
[sound effect of buzzing fly]
Jim:
Shoo!
Shoe:
yes?
Jim:
"yes" what?
Shoe:
"yes", you said "Shoe".
Jim:
oh, sorry. let's get this straight once and for all.Smee?
Smee:
's me.
Jim:
and shoe?
Shoe:
's me.
[sound effect of loud fart]
Shoe:
Ewww! Who did that?
Jim:
Sorry! 's me.
Smee:
It was NOT! 's you!
Shoe:
I never did!
[enter Mary-Ann with the keys and a lantern]
Mary-ann:
Look, do you lot lot want to escape? or are you just farting around?
Jim:
I thought we'd never escape!
Shoe:
yes, we were written right into a corner with that Shoe/Smee stuff, it could have gone on all night!

Thanks. Very good. Hope it gets a lot of play.

Jonesy, that's great comedy! Congratulations, man. =)

Thanks. Now go persuade someone to pay me some royalties and put it on...

Currently negotiating a contract for the publishing of my second play, Wotcha! Gotcha! with a different company. News soon.

Can you write a script about a love story between a television studio female intern and a man that dresses in a monster suit for a TV kids program?

Theoretically a love comedy...but whatever.

Originally I thought it should be between a Japanese female and the man that played Godzilla...but I don't know if that is feasible.

I was gonna say I'm too busy, but I'm willing to discuss it in depth with the lady in the pic.

How deep?

Okay, jonesey...I had a new idea for your script writing genius. If anyone can pull this off...you can!

Alright, the story goes like this:

In the very near future, almost all ocean life has now died off...no whales, no dolphins, no fish...the world is going extinct (based on a true story).

The town of Mousehole is very depressed, they are actually beginning to starve to death. The town meets together at the local pub for a pint and a prayer service. People are scared, children are crying...there are no FISH!

Along come's a man named Tom...most consider him a tramp and a vagabond and a loon, but he does little "magic" tricks for the children on the street. One kid (could be a boy or girl...whatever seems to work here) forms a friendship with Tom. The people in town like to pick on Tom and drunks from the local pub (The Ship's Inn) actually beat him up. The little child sees this and goes to help Tom after his beating.

Tom dies in the street, but before he dies he tells the child to sing the Starry Gazey Pie song on Tom Bawcock's Eve in remembrance of him.

So, on Tom Bawcock's Eve (at which nobody is celebrating) the child meets the drunks outside the pub and scolds them and cries and tells them who Tom is.

The drunks at the pub tell the little kid to shut up and they all begin to laugh at him or her. Then she begins to slowly sing Tom Bawcock's song, and the people become silent. The women of the town begin to cry and begin to help sing. Then the whole town (except for the disbelieving drunks) begin to sing.

When the song is finished, somebody from the distances come ashore from the ocean at night...he sloshes forward into the light. It is Tom! He is now alive? How? We do not know...it's all part of the mystery.

But...he has a catch and throws it down...it is seven fish!

The town looks at each other surprised that there are fish...all the fish are gone...aren't they?

Then the stunned crowd falls silent, and Tom begins to sing the Tom Bawcock song as the whole town watch's.

The fish begin to glow with light and go up into the sky...and then there is a thunder clap...and thousands of live fish rain from the sky on Moushole!






Okay...that's about it.

So after some delay the second script is now published. Here's a link:
http://offthewallplays.com/2015/10/07/wotcha-gotcha-steam-punk-funny-pantomime/

and if you can't be bothered to click on a link, here's most of what the publishers say about it.

In this zany but extremely funny steam punk pantomime script, loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, Alice Liddell is kidnapped by the villains Mad Hat and Moriarty and taken through the looking glass to an alternate universe and imprisoned in their Dirigible because they want to take over her world and they have a cunning plan to get their way.

Her friends Dodgson and Prince Leopold enlist the help of the slightly less famous Shamrock Holmes and his sidekick, James Watson to get her back to their side of the looking glass. Together with the Dame and the Baker Street Irregulars, they set out to rescue her and save their world from imminent disaster.

They win, of course!

This panto has one written song in it, but songs can easily be added at the director’s discretion.

Wotcha! Gotcha! had a very successful two week run in New Jersey. Read a review about it in the Huffington Post.
