Plays included in this collection:
Day three of Lord Florien Thrust’s house party, thrown in honour of Fergus, his valium medicated dog. Lord Florien Thrust laments the death of his father via his dog, Fergus and the loss of his one true love, Titiana, during a hunting accident on the moor in pursuit of a particularly belligerent mallard. Disguised by a wig and suffering from narcolepsy, Titiana’s only wish is to escape from Gertrude, a misguided do-gooder for the lost and lonely, whilst Lucinda Undercarriage schemes her plan to ensnare Lord Thrust’s heart and fortune.
Titiana can't find an unlocked door as she attempts her escape when she wakes up. Florien falls smitten for Titiana when she says she likes Fergus. Yet, there is a mystery to be unravelled, before Titiana falls victim to her Narcolepsy.
First produced in 2004, Twenty-Four Hours by Waverley Theatre Inc.
