Theatrical Shenanigans - Mini Shenanigans - Episode 5 - ”Affairs”
play

06/11/23 • 10 min

Welcome to Mini Shenanigans!

So, before we get started with Season 2 (6th August) I thought I'd entertain you with a collection of short plays every week, staring actors from all over the world.

This week's play is called "Affairs" and sees Helen go to confront Vivienne, the man her husband is sleeping with. However, the response Helen gets is a lot more than she bargained for! (https://newplayexchange.org/plays/1680351/affairs)

Cast:

Helen - Megan Bickel

Vivenne - Dana Hall (DanaHallCreates.com)

Theatrical Shenanigans - Mini Shenanigans - Episode 10 - "Parasomnia" by Ron Davies
play

10/20/24 • 6 min

Welcome once again to Mini Shenanigans where we have another short play for you. This time the piece comes from British/Canadian emerging playwright, Ron Davies. The piece is entitled "Parasomnia" and when talking about his inspiration for the piece Ron says:

"Real men don't talk about personal matters (at least not easily) and especially not about romantic relationships. But sometimes when someone is on the cusp of a big decision, even a tough guy feels the need to reach out for a friend's honest opinion. I wanted to explore, with empathy and humour, a moment when, over a pint, ordinary men sit down and talk"

Cast:

Ben - Robert Sawyer (https://www.voices.com/profile/rtsawyer)

Luke - Jeff Priskorn (www.jeffpriskorn.com)
