Duration: 50 mins approx

Derek Webb | Comedy | One Act | 2m, 2f

Short synopsis

Roy Brown is a man always on the lookout for an easy way to make a living. And modern art looks just the ticket... Seeing how much money there is to be made, and seeing how easy it looks to him, Roy reckons turning out a few pieces himself will be rather a doddle. Needless to say, encouraged by his friend Jane (and ably hindered by his mate Rhys) things don't quite go to plan.

Roy Brown is a man always on the lookout for an easy way to make a living, and modern art looks just the ticket...

Seeing how much money there is to be made, and seeing how easy it looks to him, Roy reckons turning out a few pieces himself will be rather a doddle. Needless to say, encouraged by his friend Jane (and ably hindered by his mate Rhys) things don't quite go to plan.

The play begins with Jane inviting Roy along to 'Artlandish' an innovative piece of performance art involving a lady dressed in a Grecian dress and a bicycle. He initially dismisses it as a load of old tosh without realising that it would awaken the artist in him. Something that would not only allow him to express his inner self, but make a good few quid into the bargain. 

(2m, 2f)

  •   Roy Brown : a carpenter and bon viveur, rather taken to fads and causes
  •   Jane : Roy's friend who has a soft spot for him
  •   Rhys : Roy's loyal drinking chum, not the sharpest knife in the block
  •   Cordelia : a woman of mature years and very arty

Other plays in this series are: 'Roy Brown: Bard of Margate', 'Roy Brown And The Red Baron' and 'Roy Brown: Bringing Back The Bluestones' and 'Roy Brown: Reclaiming Stonehenge'.

“There is much to like about this new work from the master of festival ready plays. The wordplay around Grayson Perry and his ‘alter-ego’ Claire amused me the most but there is glorious silliness in almost every minute of this fairly substantial one act offering.“ - Amateur Stage magazine review

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.
