When
the beautiful game turns ugly…!
If
you think it’s all over… think again!?
The ‘Cobbler’s Thumb Veterans’ pub 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 to bitter rivals, ‘the ShowBoaters’. Yet much of their rivals’ success is down to the prowess of their star striker ‘Zippy Wick’. Yet when Zippy is forced off with a mystery illness at halftime, the Cobblers 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 caused Zippy’s sudden illness? And why was he given a mug of ‘Carrot and
Corian-Der-by County’ soup in a different-coloured mug to all the other
players?’ Matters quickly become worse when Zippy is pronounced dead at the ‘Brimmington
Whelk General Hospital’.
On
a quest to find out the truth, the ShowBoaters dispatch food hygiene expert
‘Miss Petra Dish’ to investigate, and it’s the Cobblers’ manager, ‘Jim Bunny’, who
finds himself struggling to avoid ‘the hairdryer treatment’!
But
who’s going to be ‘red carded’ for adding ‘Arse-Nic-olas Anelka’ to Zippy’s
halftime drink…
‘Matt
Finish’, a local painter and decorator and Cobblers’ team captain?
Sports
centre worker and Cobblers’ goalkeeper, ‘Kitt Bagg’?
‘Chelsea
Bunn’, owner of ‘Bunn’s Bistro’ a local café?
Or…
Match referee, ‘Stanley Accrington’?
‘Sunday
Muddy Sunday!’ parodies both football in general and Sunday league football in
particular. Its comic style guaranteed to appeal to a footie lovers (and
haters!) from Preston ‘North’ End to Queen of the ‘South’, from ‘East’ Fife
to ‘West’ Brom (and who knows… perhaps even as far as ‘Rio’ Ferdinand?)
The
two-act piece has 6 characters, 4M/2F, and an approximate running time 60
minutes. All characters have significant roles.
‘Sunday
Muddy Sunday!’ is the longer, murder-mystery-adult-football-version of the shorter
‘school football’ whodunit, ‘Barf of the Net!’.
