Three Skeleton Key |
Adaptation by The One Act Players Music by Clark Stiefel From the short story by George Toudouze. Original radio adaptation by James Poe Tagline: The one with the rats. First lines: (Jean) "Picture this place, a gray tapering cylinder welded by iron rods and concrete to the key itself. A bare, black rock, one hundred fifty feet long, maybe forty wide ... that's at low tide. At high tide just the lighthouse rising one hundred ten feet straight up out of the ocean, and all about the churning water, gray-green, scum dappled, warm as soup." Trivia: An old San Francisco hospital stairwell and boiler room "doubled" for the lighthouse in the remote recording sessions.

Bruce Kane Music by Clark Stiefel with Pascal Schweren on saxophone. Tagline: Take one part Dashiell Hammett, add two parts Shakespeare (or vice versa), and you get the greatest murder mystery ever told; if I were you, pal, I'd take notes. First Line: (Thyme) "It ended like most of my cases ... with everybody dead ." Notable Line: (Claudius) "Now if you'll excuse us Thyme, the Queen and I have to discuss my ascension to the throne ... if you know what I mean." Trivia: Mark also plays Rosencrantz and the fight announcer; Perry also plays Guildenstern and reads our credits; John barely disguises his voice to play King Hamlet and the said same ghost.

I suppose you can say there has been a little trouble in the factory. Mr. Pinter's representatives have denied us authorization to proceed further with our production. Sad news for us; we hope someday they will reconsider because it's perfection I tell you, nothing short of perfection. |
