The multi-award winning, critically acclaimed “Indigenous Peoples” (Winner “Best Play”– New York’s Wonderland One-Act Festival) is paired with three other cheeky, uproarious comedies in what is guaranteed to be an unforgettable, side-splitting evening’s entertainment. Also included are “The Man Who Liked Dick”, “Kitchen Sink Drama” and “Carbon-Based Life Form Seeks Similar” – all outrageously funny British comedies that have received lauded productions in London, New York and beyond.Cast size: 4M / 5F (Roles can be doubled for a 2M/2F cast configuration)The Plays:Indigenous Peoples1M/1F Approx. 30 minutes Over a bottle of wine, Roger and Caroline embark upon an awkward discussion regarding the lack of intimacy in their relationships with others. Later, as nature calls, Caroline's fear of being overheard while relieving herself compels her to venture further afield in search of a more private area in which to avail herself. Terror strikes, however, when she is convinced that she's been bitten by a snake – also in a private area. Too far from help, Roger attempts to remove the venom in the only way he knows how, sending Caroline reeling from desperation to exultation, and inadvertently shifting their relationship to a level of intimacy that had once seemed unattainable.Indigenous Peoples had its U.K. premiere at Union Theatre, London, in 2002. The play had its U.S. premiere at the Samuel French Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival, New York, 2003.The Man Who Liked Dick2M/1F Approx. 30 minutes Douglas and Felicity have just thrown a small welcoming soiree for their new neighbours, Richard and his wife.
