Plays... This Section Contains My Scripts, Cast Lists, Synopsis and Details of the plays. Please Note: All Material Contained Is Under Copyright.
Here you'll see the title of the play, a quick run-down of it, the style of performance, and whether or not it has been performed. To view the plays just click the title, which will take you to the full manuscript! But... if you want to either perform, or reproduce them in anyway, you MUST E-mial me first for my permission. Two companies have so far tried to perform one of my shows without permission, one even trying to claim, they wrote it. Needless to say they did not succeed. The fees are very minimal, and in most amatuer performance cases will be dropped in return for a couple of free tickets. Each play has a differant charge, so ASK FIRST, DON'T PAY LATER! :)
ABOUT - The first "Wesker" play. Jake Wesker is a character I came up with at University. A useless detective who some how always comes out on top, even though he never actually solves anything. This play is the first I wrote starring this character, yet it is also the last in the "Wesker" timeline... because he dies. Its 1985, and after being kicked out of the police force, failing to be a P.I in both Detroit, New York, and L.A, he moves to a small town called "Bakersville Falls", where he hopes for a little piece and quiet. Unfortunatly his past returns to haunt him. When he was in the police, he tracked down a mass murderer to the Hoover Dam, where they had a face of, during which Wesker was shot, and his partner, Bobby Kintoe, fell off the Dam with the murderer. The killer's body was never found... but Bobby's was, minus a head. Needless to say, when Courtney, a femme fetale steps into his office... all is not what it seems.

The spirits of the dead people end up in "Limbo", where they have to play several games to determine whether they live or die... But not all is as it seems: The evil "Simon" rules over this land of nothingness, and he wants out, by any means possible. All he has to do is reach 100,000,000,000 souls taken, and he can create havoc on Earth. So its up to the team to bring him down in anyway possible... with rubix cubes, funny looking tailors, fake sheep and a whole lot of sand... who will live... and who will die?

Richard borrowed money from a loan shark to fund his way through Drama school, and now he wants it back... to make matters worse, to fund the play, he borrows money from the money hungry "Calipso Estate Agency"... and it doesn't take long for things to blow up! With an oddball cast of people, the technical crew from Hell, and the nerves of a slightly distured badger... will Richard succeed?
