Title
AFTERNOON AT TAVERN MacTAVISH
Playwright
FRANCES A. HOGG
Synopsis

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.
