Zartan

A One Act Comedy

N.J. Warburton

Lord Greycoat is racking his brains for a story to tell Gervaise when he suddenly remembers how he lost his son years ago when the boy's carry-cot was thrown from a plane over the African Jungle! In a light-hearted and fun-filled flashback we relive the finding of the baby by apes and his commandeering by the ants who raise him. An expedition is mounted to find the adult Zartan, who is now suffering from a split personality and doubts about his extraordinary size in comparison to his 'parents'. Through Greycoat's secretary, Jane, Zartan discovers his true identity and love! But a creepy taxidermist is lurking - hell bent on stuffing everything in sight!

Publican Gosforth's running the village gala, but there's bad personal news from stalwart Milly Carter over the public-address system. Pink-legged Cubmaster Stewart Stokes discovers alcohol, there's a fine Vicar, and Councillor Mrs Piece gets severely dishevelled. And that's before the rain. Gosforth's Fete starts as drama, develops into well-choreographed chaos as everything goes wrong and climaxes as full-blown farce.
