David Muncaster has been acting, directing, stage managing, lighting and sounding in community theatre since the nineteen nineties having returned to the only subject that he was any good at in school after a gap of around twenty years. In 2006 he watched a TV documentary where a group of playwrights competed to have their play produced in London's West End. This inspired him to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and the result was 'Call Girls' his first one act play. Since then his short, one act and full length plays have been performed in the USA, Canada, Australia and, of course, the UK.

Synopsis: | Call Girls is set in a call centre providing IT assistance to an unspecified company. Three of the women get on well together and 'have a laugh` but for the last six months their happy little group has been spoiled by the presence of Laura, an arrogant and aloof troublemaker whose predilection for short skirts and low cut tops probably has more to do with her getting the job than any particular work skills. Thankfully this is Laura`s last week and the others decide not to let her go without letting her know exactly what they think of her. Surprisingly it is Mary, normally the quietist member of the group, who really lets rip but this uncharacteristic outburst could be the biggest mistake of her life. | |||||

| Romantic Comedy. One easy split set comprising public bar and cafe.

Dorothy and Betty have known each other since childhood and their constant bickering belies a deep held fondness for one another. Straight-laced Tom and aging rogue Bill have recently become unlikely fiends but what connects them to the women? And why is the waitress constantly trying to eavesdrop on conversations in the cafe? All will be revealed in this warm and affectionate comedy. | |||||

Synopsis: | A meeting room, a flip chart, an enthusiastic facilitator, and four employees who are determined to give her a hard time. This is the background to Mission Impossible, a hilarious look at the corporate nonsense that anyone who has ever attended a team bonding session will know only too well. Ice Breakers and silly games do little to bond this team as the beleaguered facilitator gets tough to ensure that she gets the outcome she desires. Mission Impossible won the Congleton One Act Play Festival 2009. | |||||

Notes: | With a degree of flexibility in casting and a set that would work better if it is suggested rather than detailed this is play should be relatively simple to stage at the same time giving the actors the opportunity to immerse themselves into characters that have great complexity and depth. | |||||
Synopsis: | Set on the platform of a rural railway station waiting for a train that never comes, this is a play about life, love and hope. The stark reality of living with schizophrenia is contrasted by the warmth and playfulness that exists between the main characters. | |||||
