Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Randolph Weisermeiler the Second, known as Randy II along with his Daddy Randy I and son Randy III have been looking after holidaymakers for years, so when a new party of holidaymakers arrive with Ye’Ha Tours to spend a week or two having fun and learning to line dance, and ride horses on a real working ranch in Texas, USA, Randy knows they are expecting some "rootin tootin fun"!
The only accidents that usually occur is when the beginner line classes collide on the dance floor, but someone has been knocked out by a dead buffalo, and a horse is found in the swimming pool, and its not doing a doggie paddle that’s for sure!
The tour operator Skip Roper tries to keep them all out of trouble, but Buddy, one of the holidaymaker’s seems to have an unusual knack of getting injured; whether it’s a dog attack or ending up falling under scaffolding and making himself unconscious, or having a horse flying over his head, she has her hands full, not to mention having to keep bandaging Buddy!
Holidaymaker Jack a widower, is well travelled, and boastful. But why is he always trying to ring home? Or Evelyn, another holidaymaker, divorce pending, who wants a man, any man. Or Shy and a bit dim Isszelda, who is single and desperately wants to "live a bit".
They all go off to a rodeo and experience the Mutton Busters. But someone is injured again, who and why? The Japanese visitors never arrive at all, what’s happened to them?
Randy I, II and III played by the same person, or three very different characters? Why can only Skip tell the difference between them when none of the holidaymakers can?
When the Sheriff’s office is finally called, what’s happened and is someone guilty of murder?
Yee’ Ha!

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.
