Hello there and welcome, once again to Mini Shenanigans, where we have another fabulous short play for you to enjoy.

Our play this week is entitled "Park Benches" (https://newplayexchange.org/script/2792014/park-benches) and is written by Darrin J. Friedman (https://newplayexchange.org/users/76352/darrin-friedman & https://www.darrinwrites.com/)

Cast:

David - Darrin Ingram (https://www.darrin-ingram.com/)

Agnes - Rashi Verma

Synopsis:

A man struggling with the decision to let his comatose wife go sits on a park bench when a serene woman approaches and engages him in conversation. Through their talk, she discusses things she could not possibly know. But know, she does. In so doing, she helps him reflect on his love for his wife and the pain of holding on. Will he be able to let go and listen to this stranger about a possible new future with a chance for closure, or will he be stuck in the agony of the present?

Welcome, once again to another episode of Mini Shenanigans where we bring you another short play to listen to.

This weeks play comes from Manchester based playwright Lucy singer who is student and a writer with a preference for dark comedy stories that test the limits of realism. She's also excited to be a part of the series so here's hoping we do her play justice.

Lucy's play is entitled "My Work Friends Boyfriend" and when talking about it Lucy says "The idea of the play came to me from my love of dark comedy, and being able to make audiences laugh but also feel slightly uncomfortable at the same time." (and will become apparent where the discomfort comes from)!

Today we continue our Mini Shenanigans series with the piece "True Crime and Tea" written by a brand new playwright to Theatrical Shenanigans, Rosie Cammish Jones (https://www.instagram.com/rosiecammishjones/

Synopsis:

When talking about this play Rosie says "I'd been listening to an analysis on Quentin Tarantino, which essentially said that the reason his work is so compelling is due to the way his characters are always in conflict. I set about trying to adopt this style for a short script, I had also been getting into true crime, and this idea just naturally appeared on the page."
