The Script is 67 pages
Six characters can be played by five actors.
The audience can be involved as the citizens of the small town.
Based on a 'True Rumour' of enemy spies in the tiny railroad town of Parry Sound, Ontario. The town served as a key east-west rail route. Adjacent to Parry Sound was the company town of Nobel, a cordite and dynamite factory, critical to the war effort.
Both prime targets for sabotage by our enemies.
Two things are true in 1940. The Civilian Defense Committee was formed to encourage Canadians to spy on their neighbours and report any nefarious activities. And the Member of Parliament for Parry Sound was the Honourable Arthur G. Slaght who famously coined the phrase in a speech to the legislature in Ottawa warning of such spies, "There are Enemies Within Our Bosom."
Strong characters and a tightly woven story moves this comedy along at an entertaining pace to a surprising conclusion.
Though fun and frolicking, this script is thought provoking and the theme is eerily relevant today.
