Charlie and Doris are an elderly New Zealand married couple. Doris has chronic arthritis and is confined to a wheel-chair, but is mentally very alert. Charlie is in good physical health but he has the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, “a brain without a body” is co-dependent with “a body without a brain”. The authorities want them to be institutionalised, but Doris is determined to keep them independent. The script is enlivened, and given some humour, by Charlie’s memories, and his and Doris’s joint re-enactment, of his career as an army Sergeant Major.

This play stood out to me as ideal for Short+Sweet. Three characters, no set, no furniture, few props, and simple lighting. And a great story.

I think good short theatre is either an interesting snapshot, or a good yarn. For me this play is both. We’ll be working to balance the realism with the dramatic.

A hilarious, touching, and delightfully absurd one man show in which multiple characters help “Hamish” to traverse the road of realisation and self-discovery.

When you want to say “No, no thank you” to life’s oncoming challenges, they always seem to have a way of sticking around. So you write a one man, multi-character show, in order to work through these problems like a real adult. Theatrically. Realisations, self-discovery, and identity crises. Nothing screams hilarious, touching, and delightfully absurd jaunt more than that.
