Sub-titled "My Wallet Is In the
Highlands," this light comedy shows three gullible American tourists (wife, husband, and their
teenage son or daughter) being fleeced in a tourist trap, and loving every minute of it. The play
takes place in Scotland, but it could happen (and does) anywhere in the world, including America.
The wily tavern owner and his equally conniving wife know every trick, and they enjoy plying their
trade. The way they sell two skulls which, they say, came from the same body is priceless.
Audiences of all ages will laugh their own skulls off.One act, restaurant setting, modern
clothes. The author says the setting can be changed to any place where Americans travel (including
the USA). She adds that "cash and blarney flow freely and everyone gets what they want in the end!"
This play was voted one of the most popular of the 27 productions staged by the Players
Club of Detroit and won first place in the statewide Jocundry Books/Capital Times One-Act
Playwriting contest in Lansing, Michigan.
