New Plays
Hello and welcome to the New Comedies and Farces segment of OAKRIFF.
Below are the new farces that we have for your consideration.
There are four comedies/farces here, now. There are more on the way and as soon as the finishing touches and edits have been made they will be here for you. Why not pop back occasionally and find out how things are going.
On this page you will find the main information about the play: title – writer – cast numbers – number of acts – number of sets – time in which the play takes place. There is also an approximate running time; this is a calculated time and really is just an indication.
If you think the play could be for you then you can go on to read full details.
