The
football whodunit that’s in a league of its own!
If you think it’s all over… it’s time to think again…!?
The
‘Maradonna and Child School’ football team have never been in a cup final
before, and things are not looking good when they find themselves 3 - 0 down at
halftime against bitter rivals, ‘Canton Academy’. Yet much of Canton’s success
is down to the prowess of their star striker ‘Beef Cake’. And when ‘Beefy’ is
forced off with a mystery illness, ‘Maradonna’ are finally able to seize the
initiative and claim victory. Yet even before the ‘Ted’s Paints Trophy’ has been lifted, questions are already being asked…
‘Just
what was it that had caused Beefy’s sudden illness? And why had he/she been
given a serving of ‘Carrot and Corian-Derby County’ soup in a different-coloured mug to all
the other players?’
Canton
Academy dispatch Science teacher ‘Miss Petra Dish’ to investigate and it’s their
opposition’s manager, ‘Jim Bunny’, who finds himself struggling to avoid ‘the
hairdryer treatment’!
But
who’s going to be ‘red carded’ for tampering with Beefy’s halftime drink…
Jinx
Dribbler, Maradonna’s school team captain?
Kitt
Bagg, Maradonna’s goalkeeper?
Miss
Chelsea Bunn, the home side’s Cookery teacher?
Or…
Referee,
Stanley Accrington?
‘Barf of the Net!’ has been specially written to be performed by schools or young persons’ organisations. It’s a short whodunit (rather than a murder mystery) which captures youngsters’ love of football via a comic exploration of ‘the beautiful game’. It has a wide appeal… from Preston ‘North’ End to Queen of the ‘South’, from ‘East’ Fife to ‘West’ Bromwich Albion.
The piece has 6 characters and an approximate running time 45 minutes. As the names of the players are non-gender specific, the school team involved can be male or female. Because of this, it can be staged with either 4M/2F or 2M/4F. All characters have significant roles.
