Plays on Offer

Jacquelin's plays require little rehearsal time, minimum props and very simple sets. This makes these plays ideal for schools, traveling troupes and for performing at Theatre Festivals. A smaller cast makes traveling to different venues easier to manage and the chance of all actors being present at every rehearsal are better. Jacquelin tries to avoid writing small roles as she knows most actors like to be on stage as much as possible! Jacquelin's plays are also ideal for converting into short film scripts, radio plays and puppet shows.
