The Prize Play
Author(s):
Mary Chase
The play begins with the master of ceremonies in a music hall announcing the performance of some exciting flamenco dancers, only to lose control of the stage to a little girl who has written the "prize play" in her sixth grade class and, egged on by her folks from the back of the hall, proceeds to put it on then and there. The curtain rises and the adult actors begin what turns out to be a hilarious version of the adult sophisticated mystery play as seen through the mind of the child, complete with "rich hero," slinky femme fatale, her gangster boyfriend, and numerous robbers all disguised as "private eyes." The play ends in a wild and woolly Keystone rescue scene guaranteed to leave the audience rolling in the aisles.
