Asylum

Product Code: AJ1000

One-act Play
Recommended For: Middle School | High School | College Theatre
Cast Size: 10+ either gender, especially gender-stereotyped roles and names.

Livestream and Record & Stream Rights Available

Approx. Run Time: 40 min.

A company of players takes the audience through a kaleidoscope in which one episode dissolves into another like an absurd dream. Each episode lets you see some aspect of yourself as a perceptive artist sees you, and the view is not always pleasant. What is the "asylum?" Is it the world of "normal" people, or the rest of us? The feeling of Asylum is one of space rather than a stage, a nameless place rather than a specific location; technical theatricality must be minimized.

The Medicine Show or How to Succeed In Medicine Without Really Trying

By V. Glasgow Koste. An American version of Molière's Le Médecin Malgré Lui.

Product Code: MJ5000

One-act Play
Recommended For: High School | College Theatre | Touring Group
Cast Size: 3m., 3w., 1 either gender with doubling, or up to 9 (3m., 3w., 3 either gender).

Approx. Run Time: 30 min.

This short and swift play is all about a fabulous (and hilarious) fake attuned to the chances of chance. This play is a zany favorite wherever it is produced. It is ideal for easy touring and freely derived from Molière, although a truly American version for young and family audiences. The world's most famous, infamous, paramedical clown is involved in a scheming and plotting. He psyches out everybody in sight, falling back on his intuitive wits, and landing happily on his feet of clay. This version has a winning prescription that laughter is the best medicine!
