Satire Play Scripts

Satire uses comic exaggeration to ridicule human behaviour, insitiutions, religious zealotry and cultural norms, in the hope of creating change. Here you find adaptations of satirical works such as Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, stories from James Joyce’s Dubliners “The Boarding House”, an adaptation of Moliere’s “The Hypochondriac” and original scripts that parody voices from a home for disturbed elderly patients and a radio-noir play packed with puns, play on words, oodles of absurdity about a freelance secret agent.

    Fight for Life is a low-rent Jerry-Springer-style talk show whose mantra is embodied by its two major chants: Fight for Life and Stage the Rage; its ratings are sliding and fast. Along comes Grace Truman, a guest whose story seems likely to reverse their declining numbers but she is not quite the guest that host, Burt Solomon, expected.
  • A tribute to Dr. Seuss and a parody of "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back", where Nick & Sally are savvy enough to call Social Services to deal with both The Cat and the pink snow that he created.
