Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Jenny and Kay are best friends. Jenny sadly has had an accident which has basically left her unable to walk and she is currently in a wheelchair, but she is having therapy and given time, there is a possibility that she may walk again, and Jenny is determined to enjoy life now she is out of hospital.
So, she has joined an internet dating site much to Kay’s horror and Kay tries desperately to talk her out of it, mentioning all the pitfalls and what if’s etc.
But Jenny is determined to carry it through and arranges for Paul to come over to her flat. Kay is horrified and tries to insist that she should be there, ‘just in case’! Jenny won’t hear of it and she goes ahead and meets Paul by herself. It starts off fairly well but then very quickly goes wrong.
He turns out to be a nasty piece of work and departs, leaving Jenny stranded on the sofa away from her wheelchair and her mobile.
Fortunately Kay turns up, comforts Jenny, and then leaves, after having ordered a pizza for her and making sure that she is OK. The pizza is delivered by a very nice young man who has to enter the flat to deliver it and get paid. There is an almost instant chemistry between them and he stays to share her pizza!

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.
