My first post. Pleased to meet you all. The brain's not working this Sunday am and I refuse to push it on my day of rest...so....any suggestions for a romantic comedy, preferably with six characters or more (gotta keep the "actors" busy.) Thanks in advance. ------------- Show me a rose or leave me alone! |

"I Hate Hamlet" - six characters - quite romantic - and one of the
funniest plays ever. Several OUTRAGEOUS characters - and even the 'leading man and lady' are anything but generic. http://www.playdatabase.com/play.asp?play=72F388FF-FA0D- 4389-B378-315099EB7AA4 |

| If you're still looking for a romantic comedy - try Sabrina Fair by Samuel Taylor. A little dated, but with the right actors and director, it could be a big hit. Audiences will remember either of the two movie versions (original had Audrey Hepburn, the more rect, Harrison Ford-not as Sabrina, but Linus). |

I've only read it, but I loved Goodbye Charlie. I want to do it some day at our theatre. The play reads much better than the movie. |

| You've got to check out "Dearly Beloved" by the same playwright who did "Dearly Departed." This new one rocks! and has a large cast. It's JUST been published and has a sequel that's already scheduled to have a world premiere! I'm telling you, this one's hilarious! Look at the website http://www.JezebellesInk.com - www.JezebellesInk.com and see if you don't agree with me. Break a leg and good show! Rachel B |
