Fright Night
Three Old-time Radio Themed Plays
Description:... The three scripts included in this book are meant to invoke the golden age of radio. The first script includes a murder mystery story surrounding two actual old-time radio broadcasts of your choosing. The second includes an original script set on the high seas complete with rousing sea shanties. The third is a combination of an actual episode of your choice and an original adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. For the dialog to make sense, they should be done in order. These were written with the idea that they would not require a great deal of rehearsal and therefore are a perfect fit for the people in your community who love to participate in theatre but may not have the time for a full show rehearsal schedule. Memorization requirements are minimal. Cost requirements are also minimal.The time period is during the 1930s-1940s. The set is the sound stage of a local radio station. The owner of the station has decided to open the sound stage to a live studio audience as a publicity stunt. This is the first time they have done so, and the radio actors are not excited about having to perform in front of a visible audience. This requires each actor to use different voices and to fall in and out of different characters as the play progresses. The purchase of this book does NOT automatically include a license to perform.
