Those mad buggers are back, and by the look o' em, as 'in sane' as ever!

Hello peoples! 'A lad in sane productions' would like to say hello to all you theatre addicts out there, and wish you all the very best with your 2009 Productions! We sincerely hope that your audiences are filled to a capacity just below ours! Our mad crew (all two of us) are chomping at the bit to make a start on our new work...entitled...'Bannockburn. The Battle!' Aye! Yee'd be right in guessing, that it's a play aboot that most famous of battles! When the Scots kicked the livin shite oot of the English! Our story is based loosely...er...can we make that somewhat loosely on what actually happened oot there on those green fields over those 2 fateful days... suffice to say, the story has been given the full 'in sane' treatment! Now we're just aboot ready to seal a deal with a theatre so we can tell you exactly when and where this play will take place (April 2009), cos we know you'd hate to miss it, like yee have our last five productions. Are we offended? Bloody right we are! Totally devastated, chins dragging on the floor...okay, I know that's something I do daily, but you try and carry it around! I dare yee! Anyway, so why am I boring you to tears when we actually haven't got anything to announce? The answer to that is that Greg Ross has been kindly giving me lessons, and very soon I promise I'll bring yee an 84 page monologue aboot ma aunties bad breath, and how we've failed to fix it, despite several industrious attempts! Gettin back to serious matters! We're goin to have some roles available for 'Scottish Highlanders' and one 'bonnie lass' and we thought we should perhaps check to see what interest there is oot there in theatre land before we get carried away by the fact that we've found somewhere to play. Now, some parts are already taken, and these are thus not included here, but there's plenty of good roles on offer for varying ages. In brief, we're looking for actors who can a: deliver a canny Scottish brogue. b: catch a fifty cent piece on the back of their neck before it hits the floor, and c: persons who may may be interested in a play that's as far removed from the word 'classical' as yee can imagine! If that sounds like yee, then drop me an e-mail or give me a call (9355 5591). There's no strings attached to this offer other than the one we place around your neck if yee tell us the plays crap! My e-mail is johnnygrim@optusnet.com.au. Here's the remaining cast list.... MAIN CHARACTERS HAMISH McTAVISH Age 18-25. Average young highlander in his prime. BILLY McTAVISH Age 18-26.
