PLAYS WITH MUSIC

Maggie, me, Mary and Bob Dylan. By Brian Langtry

For one male one female note: The linking Bob Dylan songs are best performed live thus a further male singer guitarist is required. However the play can also be performed using recorded. Running time approx 45 mins.

Rusty and Maggie celebrate Maggie's birthday fishing on the banks of the canal. Rusty is a trucker and devotee of Bob Dylan whom he sees as the prophet for the 21st century. The life of a trucker is a solitary one Rusty would have us believe and he is often on the road for two or three weeks at a time. He could not settle to fish without the tuneful strains of the mighty Bob and this is just one of the elements of a stressful afternoon that causes their marital trials to surface and come to a head. Amid the comic dialogue some serious role playing occurs but ultimately the unpredictable ending explains the reasons for both Rusty and Maggie's behaviour.

Set- On the banks of the canal, fishing basket, rod and equipment, carrier bags with food drink etc. Two phones and live Bob seated stage side.
