Mack`s Place by Brian Langtry
Mack`s Place is a cafe now bypassed by a new road and is slowly dying on its feet. The cafe landlord, Mr.Grabber, has eyes on the property with a lucrative new out of town shopping centre development in mind.

Mack`s daughter, Suzie, her lover Jimmie and her friends come up with the idea of attracting a new young clientele and hosting weekly music sessions. To start the ball rolling they form their own band.
A stranger, Nomad, arrives. He is enigmatic, distant and appearas to have dark and mysterious powers. He appears to be able to predict and, more worryingly, amend the future. He sees a way to help the Cafe survive and prosper but, inevitably, there is a price. The payback is that Suzie must leave family and friends and journey with Nomad to unknown places.
Who is Nomad and where has he come from? Where is he intent on taking Suzie and will she go? What of her love for Jimmie?
Ultimately the regular performances are a triumph and Mack`s Place is renamed 'Cafe Rock' as new faces flock to the latest 'hot spot'.

Mack's Place is a musical play set in the 1950's for 5 people , 3 male and 2 female with opportunities for extra cast in dance scenes. The work lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes. There is great scope for innovative staging and effects. Appropriate songs are suggested but they can be substituted.

Mack's Place can also be performed as a musical.

Second Spot by Brian Langtry and Ron Burns
This is the incredibly funny story of a club comedian, Charlie Morris, who dies in the middle of his stage act. Charlie has the good sense to make a spiritual return to Earth to 'clear up' a few loose ends. As well as tearing at the heart strings this wildly amusing comedy is filled with priceless, witty dialogue and side splitting visual humour as Charlie seeks to ensure that his wife and daughter remain well looked after.
The work can either be performed as a straight play or as a play with music. Professionally recorded backing tracks can be provided on CD or mini disc which removes the need for live musicians and allows companies with little relevant experience to try something new. Both versions have a running time of 1 hour 45 minutes.
This is comedy/ musical comedy for 2 women and 6 men, assuming doubling or 3 women and 10 men if not. There are some male parts that can be changed to female if this is required.
There are 11 songs in the full musical version; these could be reduced to 8 if a two vocalist version is preferred ( the full version requires 1 male and 2 female singers). The majority of the songs are sung by the leading male, Charlie and the leading female, Elsie.

Are the Sprouts Organic? by Mike Talbot

A comedy brimming with the `peculiarities and nuances` of family life which we all readily recognise and identify with. Although set on Christmas Eve the play should not be viewed `solely` as a festive season production and is equally entertaining when placed within Spring, Summer or Autumn schedules.

The plot is littered with frayed tempers, unexpected visitors, strange neighbours, bizarre plans and unanticipated consequences and is more than liberally sprinkled with humour and poignancy. Such ingredients ensure that performances will please, challenge and reward in abundance- enjoy!
