No
Love Lost ! |

|
| Synopsis: |
An adaptation
of Goldsmith's classic comedy 'She Stoops to Conquer'. An aristocratic
woman poses as a bar maid in order to capture her fancy: a man of
similar class who is painfully shy of well bred women. |
| |
|
| Appraisal: |
A solid, witty
and highly entertaining adaptation. The piece feels like 'Gosford
Park' meets 'Sense and Sensibility' with a touch of P.G. Woodhouse
thrown in for good measure. |

| Title: |
Merchant
of Moortown |
| Author(s): |

| |
|
| Synopsis: |
A loose contemporary
adaptation of 'The Merchant of Venice'. |
| |
|
| Appraisal: |
Highly enjoyable
and probing script which comically sets off Nathan a Leeds moneylender
on the trail of an Italian pizza parlour worker who fails to repay
his loan for a tacky wedding suit. Done with serious panache and modern
day references that include those Leeds players on their night out. |

|
| Synopsis: |
Based on James
Hogg's 'The Private Memoirs of a Justified Sinner' This book written
in 1824 defies the usual god-fearing, clean living literature of the
period and goes all out to slam the hypocrisy of the church, government
and monied gentry of the day. Not surprisingly it seems bang up to
date ! |
| |
|
| Appraisal: |
A solid well
written adaptation, something which would make an ideal television
6 parter, or, even a feature if a name of considerable weight could
be attached. |
