Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Tom, a twenty-something zoologist, innocently bird-watching stumbles across a dishevelled runaway bride, Kitty.
Through six almost sketch-like scenes, we travel through their platonic-ish friendship. Tom is better with words than emotions, he can recite every animal fact he’s ever learnt and even the scientific terminology for a phobia of long words, but once he’s met with the force of Kitty, he’s met his match. Two polar opposites pulled together by an interesting turn of events but a meeting of wit. stuck up a tree holding a ukulele. Little does he knows his life is about to be changed forever. Kattreya Scheurer-Smith’s debut comedy explores friendships within our modern-day society, and do you need to find yourself before you find someone else?
With genuine chivalry he offers some clothes his sister left at his apartment, once changed Kitty opens up about her inability to function as a twenty-something adult due to a life of cocoon-like smothering, how will she be able to survive in this world on her own? Luckily, after some clear defining of ‘the friendzone’ a genuine friendship is creating, only shattered when Kitty sees a hint of Tom showing an interest in a Tinder match. Through jealousy, and perhaps a genuine want, Kitty decides to travel the world, potentially become a ‘blogger’, ‘Kitty’s Adventures’ or something less cbeebies. With a skype conversation, and the sub-plot of actually learning ukulele, Tom’s feelings develop at a regular pace, realising when Kitty’s gone (and after a failed Tinder date) that she’s the only one that he wants.
Traipsing across to ‘The Notre Dame’ Tom proclaims his love. Is it returned? Will it be the happy ever after that everyone desperately craves for? This is life, and this is ‘Uke Belong To Me’.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
