Champagne, Collecting and Collaboration

Champagne, Collecting and Collaboration is inspired by real people and real events. Several decades ago, the name of Florence Gould was very well known. Why?  She was a millionaire American beauty living on the French Riviera, noted for her art collection and philanthropy. Even today, her good works live on through her Foundation. However, her murky past during WW II casts doubt on her reputation and makes her very much of an enigma.

Three Very Wise Men

Three Very Wise Men combines two myths – the Nativity and the Children’s Benefactor in the North Pole. But who is he? Santa Klaus, Kris Kringle, or Saint Nicolas? Well, it depends on where you live. But happily, this little skit ignores all that and puts them together on a quest to follow The Star. Their gifts are both traditional and highly original.

Remit Payment

Remit Payment is undeniably a little piece to add to the Halloween fun. But it does have a message. Not a subtle one it’s true. In fact, the message is rather dark and scary – and sort of potentially affects thousands, if not millions of people around the world. It’s a Cautionary Tale.

Prison Wrap

Prison Wrap is a story about MailMan Mick, a long-time prisoner of Beaconsfield Penitentiary, and his stoush against Warden Stacy. We can tell you that Mick wins, but how he does it is most unusual – and efficient. What is more, it will never be spoken of by staff or prisoners alike. You, the listener, may be the only one who knows what really happened in those three minutes, which will never be forgotten by all who witnessed the event.

In 1939 Miss Joyce Grenfell created a delightful parody of children at play. She took the part of a kindly but harrassed Kindergarten Teacher, who talked to her imaginary class of tiny tots.  “George, Don’t do that” became a series, a book, and eventually a solid part of her television career. This original piece was inspired by Miss Grenfell.
