The Old Cold Steel

By Nigel Dobson

28-05-2024

Drama, Family, Bathroom, Bedroom, Hallway, House, Four Pages

A curious story that twists around like a snake, intentionally pushing you to think one thing and then another all the way through, leaving you pondering the reality of online profile images and body-image.

James pays a visit to a suburban house where things are not what they seem. Interactions with a woman at the door and a young lad upstairs play out in zig-zag fashion until the purpose of the visit is revealed... but even that has layers of intrigue wrapped around it.

Quite a handful in a 4-page script, but something worthwhile to get your teeth into.

Being Positive

By Timothy Kestrel

22-06-2022

Drama, Tragedy, Bedroom, Two Pages, Trigger - Suicide

This is a dark, intense story about an alcoholic man who has to face a visit to his doctor and shows how he deals with the outcome of the news he receives.

Set in just one room at the start and end of a single day, his path from functioning alcoholic to suicidal desperado is certainly one that any actor would love to get their teeth into.

It has been written for a male actor but could be easily adapted for a female.

You will need some minor props, great foley and clever use of lighting to really bring this to life.

The Confessional

By Nick Fletcher

04-10-2018

Comedy, Church, Two Pages

A contrite but somewhat reserved woman finds that her priest has an unexpected new way of extracting her confession.

This comedy had a table read at a writer's class recently and had the room in stitches. It's a very clever script that forces the woman to really act the pants off it and the priest to be so aloof that it adds to the ramping up of the tension that elicits the confession to come out in full.

The reveal is exquisite and unexpected.
