One act Two Male One Female Farce You won't find a text script for this piece easily, but I am posting as information. The story could be retold in contemporary setting using email instead of a typewriter and the love-struck stripling could sprout lines from a top ten song. The story involves a father and son in an executive office. The father has a youngish secretary with whom the son is smitten, but she has promised herself to another, eventually revealed as the father. Seems like a good basis for an improvisation. I felt the acting was underwhelming and the script predictable, but it might inspire some. video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iuQYsywW3k
