Mrs Brenda Bryant

Having spent several years performing to clubs, retirement homes, social groups and schools, I have formulated my own approach to writing and displaying original, amusing pieces. I have, also, discovered how hard such inconsequential items are to come by; after every production I have been requested for copies. Well, here they are, plus hints for staging! Incidentally, Pam Ayres is my heroine! Note to Australian customers - "Little Somethings" can be purchased locally by contacting me at (02)49634699 Then there are the melodramas. My club searched and searched for something brief, funny, traditional and, possibly, musical. In the end it was easier to write some plays myself.

Little Somethings
“Little Somethings” is a collection of monologues that have been written with a view to performance. They can, however, also be enjoyed as a light-hearted read. Since they were written to be performed by the author, she has drawn upon her stage experiences to include, in the publication, suggestions for costuming and staging. Very often, you, too, may be called upon to 'do a little something' at a party or on some other festive occasion, and the ideal material is not always readily available. Now you will never be at a loss.

Inn Deed
"She Stoops to Conquor" by Oliver Goldsmith is a classic of English literature. However, it is also a timeless situation comedy and its misunderstandings and pretentions are as funny today as ever they were. This modern rewrite of the play is designed to make the story more understandable to a modern audience. It is written in verse, which suits the poetic flow of the language of an earlier era, and there are lyrics to suitable and well-known folk songs, which may or may not be used.Viewed from either an educational or entertainment point of view, this 'melodrama' has much to offer.
