By Tim Kelly Cast: Flexible cast of 30 (roughly 15M, 15F), doubling possible Set: Three simple sets Time: About 2 hours |
Synopsis: The cheapest airline in world history is Go Bananas Airline, so wretched that even the Bermuda Triangle rejects its planes. The first act introduces us to a bevy of lovely stewardesses whose boss, Smiling Jack Pott, is using the flight as their "final exam." A movie producer will do almost anything to stop his leading lady from boarding the flight, and the incredible Dragbottom family is concerned that someone has been making bombs in their cellar. Toss into this unlikely group of people a guy who thinks he's Superman, an eccentric billionaire, a rock star, hijackers, incense-selling mystics and a dancer with three feet. Then it's "all aboard" for these and a large assortment of additional oddball characters for an insane flight through a terrible storm. No radar, no navigator and the pilot sold his compass at a garage sale thinking it was an egg timer. The control tower is bedlam, but eventually the flying tin can is brought safely to solid ground, except for the movie star who lands via parachute in a chicken farm. About the author: Tim Kelly's first stage play, Widow's Walk, was published in the 1960's, at the same time his A Darker Flower opened at New York's Pocket Theatre, The Trunk and All That Jazz at Boston's Image Theatre, and Die Blum in Germany. Since then, he has kept up a steady flow of amazingly diverse work ... having well over 300 plays currently in print—and in continuous production. |

I think it sounds funny and cute. Also I'm not suprised Sarah found it. =]
I'll order a copy of this one when we get back. Funny and cute is a good combination for the spring play.
