Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Norman and Delilah have found each other on a dating website and are meeting at a rented apartment. They are virgins in every aspect of the etiquette of life, in conversation, dating, relationships and naturally, Airbnb. This is their first meeting. Their first everything in fact. Might awkwardness and naivety go some way to excusing their embarrassment? Allow them to find a common ground, even a glimmer of hope of something more? And how do they know what to hope for, if it’s something they’ve never had? But Norman and Delilah will be fine. After all, Norman has brought Garibaldi biscuits and Delilah has brought handcuffs. What’s more, she has also taken precautions. She has kept the receipt. And that can only mean one thing. Norman can keep his hat on.

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.
