| Tim'll Fix It | |||||
|
|
comedy | 3m 4f | full length | ||
| Paul | Sara is not very happy when her husband Paul asks his
friend Tim - "the handyman from hell" - to help with some electrical
work. Tim would do anything for Sara... Anything! After burst pipes, floods, failed heating, power cuts and other disasters Tim gets his marching orders, but not before he mistakenly finds out Sara's feelings for him are the same as his for her, a fact that does not please Tim's dowdy wife June. Hopelessly in love (well, hopeless, anyway) Tim locks himself away with Sara in their lounge, using his D-I-Y skills to nail up the doors and windows so they can be alone together. Well, alone apart from Sara's dad Frank, that is. Paul, daughter Barbara and Sara's mother Kathleen all attempt to rescue her, but it is the blossoming June who takes control and saves the day... Until they smell gas... "Do It Yourself Farce" at its best. The part of Frank stays in his chair throughout the play, so could, if desired, be played by a disabled actor. |
