Hi all -
 
I've just completed a new play which I think would be perfect for community and dinner theatres.
 
THE TELL-TALE FARCE (5 M 4 F)
 
It's 1848, and Edgar Allen Poe is just coming off the spectacular success of the Raven. Unfortunately, it's only earned him a grand total of nine dollars. So when a wealthy dowager commissions him to write her an immortal love poem for the vast sum of one hundred dollars, he leaps at the chance. Only problem: the poet who shows up to write the poem isn't Poe, he's Poe's mailman, and he's on a quest to woo the dowager's spinster daughter. Pretending to be Poe is harder than it looks, though, epecially when your mustache keeps falling off, the teenage grand-daughter of the house is madly in love with you, and Poe's arch-nemesis, Rufus Griswold, just happens to be dropping by to settle old scores. A door-slamming, closet-hiding farce of unspeakable evil.
 
It's likely to be coming soon from Playscripts, but if you'd like to read the script before you can buy it, please comment on this thread and I'll send you the play.
 
And if you're not familiar with my work, I have a few others which are great for community theatres as well, (The Bold, The Young and The Murdered - and A Tiny Miracle With A Fiberoptic Unicorn; The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon gets done by a fair share of CTs as well.)
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the interest!

The play is now published, so I can direct you to the webpage for it - if you click on "read free sample" you'll be able to read about 80% of the script online for free.
