Other Plays by Paul Dickey
The Good News According to St. Dude
A full length play in two acts. Hippie is
just another word for nothing yet to lose. Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’,
but it’s free. I'd trade you all of Omaha for one single yesterday.
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when we sang the blues. Feeling good was good
enough for me, for me. Feeling good was good enough for me and my
Bobby McGee. (2 hours)
One Acts
"The Man Who Married a Health Insurance Policy." John
loved JoAnn, JoAnn loved John, but JoAnn also loved Randy. Randy loved Sue
and Sue loved John. so they all got married as a quartet. Marriage was no
longer just for couples, but the widower and curmudgeon Henry next door needs
an affordable health insurance policy. (10 minutes)
“One Evening in Paris.” Ralph, very married and very late middle-aged,
and Paris, the new, young hottie on the programming staff, get called in
together to fix the computer system problem after midnight. Ralph spent his
honeymoon in Paris years ago, but this is a different Paris.
But the real computer glitch is when “Ralph’s Image of Paris,””Paris’ Image
of Ralph,” and Ralph’s Wife get involved. (10
minutes)
“Violins in the
Neighborhood.”
Violins in the neighborhood? It may sound harmless enough, but is
it really? Sally’s husband says that it is running amok and it must be
stopped, even if it means an increase in violence in the neighborhood. (20 minutes)
"The Carnival's Tonight at Dickeyville." Come
one, come all, tonight one of the oldest, darkest family carnivals in America
comes to Dickeyville. (20 minutes)
"The Tragedy of Mack and Beth." You can take
Shakespeare out of context, but you can't take context out of Shakespeare. (25
minutes)
"Dennis and Diane Have Secrets." Dennis is a
serial killer who is having trouble gaining respect. Diane doesn't suspect
that someday Dennis will become famous and she doesn't want to. (20
minutes)
"Heritage." Evelyn White is 82 and is having
trouble seeing. Charlene is 56 and is having trouble loving. Ben is 58 and,
let us just say, is having trouble. Dad is 85 and is having trouble caring.
But there is always a crossword puzzle book around whenever you need one. (15
minutes)
"Who Say You Can't Go Home Again?" Everybody
knows, of course, you can’t home again. Some literary giant said so,
but then what happens when a theatrical giant
like Tina who aspires to be the next Albee squares off
against that literary giant when entering the Snowdance Comedy
Festival? (10 minutes)
