Barmaid: Get outta this house! You’re too drunk for here.1
Will: My ancestors came over with Selumnas! You cante get rid of me. (Collapses on floor)2
Enter Richard with servants3
Richard: Is this guy dead or is he drunk? 4
Servant: He breathes, sir.5
Richard: Than he is drunk. Drunk outside a bar. Hey, let’s play a trick. Dress him in my clothes, take him to my house. Have me play a servant. And, Dan can play his wife.6
D: His wife sir? How do I play that?7
Richard: Mighty easy. Dress in women’s clothes. Speak like a woman. And call him darlin’, sweetheart an’ the rest.8
D: Mighty easy? I’d rather be a servant. Ah, well, I’ll do it. It’ll still be fun.9
Scene 210
Will wakes in bed. He looks around himself, confused as he is in Richard’s house.11
Will: Where am I? This don’t look real. Is it a dream?12
Servant: Sir, you are awake. Oh, good master.13
Will: Sir? Master? What crap. I am William Brown. Just plain Will Brown folks. 14
Richard: Master, you have been mad. And in your illness, you claimed you were a beggar. It saddened Danni so.15
Will: Danni?16
Richard: These young men. How soon they forget their loves. And you sir, married for two years. In these two years, though, you have been mad! It saddened Danni so, after ten years of dating. For the marriage to be ruined by your illness!17
Will: I think I remember now… 18
Richard: Anyway, sir, today you have a meeting. Then you’re on TV, remember to say the lines I gave you. Then another meeting. Then, it’s up to you. Want to go out in your Porsche? Or in your Jaguar? Or shall we fly the jet? 19
Will: I think we’d like to spend some time alone.20
Richard: I get your drift, sir. Hi there, Danielle.21
(Dan enters)22
Dan: Hi there, Richard. Hello Will.23
Will: Hello darlin’.24
Dan: Don’t call me that.25
Will: What do you prefer? Baby, sweetheart, lover?26
Dan: Just Danni will do fine.27
Will: Danni? Is that pretty Danni, or sweet Danni or Danni the loved?28
Dan: Just, Danni, thanks.29
Will: I am well now, and will be ready for our love.30
Dan: Our love? Oh, our love… erm, the doctor says we must wait for the night. Besides, it’s hot, I wanna go swim.31
Will: I’ll come with you.32
Dan: I’d rather be alone.33
Richard: I know, sir, ma’am. How’s about a play? The good old kind your father used to have, at the house.34
Dan: I’ve no objections. Sure sounds fun.35
Will: Will give me time to rest before tonight.36
Scene three- (the play) London.37
Paul: Tom, you may marry. As long as Simon marries first.38
Tom: That’s not gonna happen. You know that won’t happen. It can’t.39
Paul: It can. We are politicians. We do things for image. And, he will marry for image if he wants to lead the party through the election.40
Simon: Do I get a say in this? I have as much right not to marry as you. And do I see a wife? You aren’t married. Why should I be?41
Paul: Because I’m your spin-doctor. Of course, you needn’t marry. But, then you’ll have the wrath of your deputy. It’s your choice.42
They come across two women, one is old and one is young. The old one looks aristocratic and the younger is very beautiful43
Margaret: Ah, Tom Branson. He’s such a handsome young man.44
Tracy: I know. So hunky, so strong, so firm. I’d love to marry him. 45
Paul: He won’t be married, before Simon Brier. 46
Tracy: He wants a wife? I wouldn’t want him. He doesn’t have the muscle of his colleague.47
Margaret: Nor me. I want a fine young bachelor. 48
Paul: Now, in politics love is just spin. The spin of the game. He will be a family man for his wedding day.49
Author notes
I guess romance... although it's more a sociological than a romantic look on marriage.
Not a screenplay. Intended for stage 
Lol, should be a warning that this isn't PC but it all depends on interpretation so... basically I'll try to make fun of everyone so don't think it's 'prejudiced' or anything. I'm making use of stock characters
Not sure when I'll post my next piece.
Please comment
Anyway, please comment

This is a delightfully humorous play, pozo. I usually don't like to read scripts but this one caught my eye, mostly because it's your work, but once I started reading it, I was laughing and enjoying it very much.
You did a very good job with this The dialog was well written and funny.
ee
your AP Mum

excellent
This was a very delightful story dear poet. I know how hard it is write dialouge and you did this supurbly. O how hard it is to speak correctly but to write correctly--O the english language. I have been so frustrated for 40 years trying to write. This is wonderful that at your age you are so good. I wonder how many errors I have made writng this. God Bless and keep writng. -
lol its kool, pretty funny really nice write
-
oo, very interesting, it seemed kind of familiar, but also new enough to keep me reading but a lot of unfamiliar things sound familiar to me for some reason, maybe its all in my head
-
Interesting. I guess we need a bit more to see whether you live up to what you appear to be promising. vic
-
Fascinating. Sociological matters are always interesting to me so this is good. No grammar or spelling errors for you! Yay
This would definitely make for a good play, I can see it all in my head. Great write -
This could turn into something good - I can imagine it being done as a dinner or supper play in the ballroom of a large hotel - I have seen some great comedies performed in five star hotels like the Hilton - Albert.

I do not often read plays. I have to admit that. I wasn't even sure why I was reading this when I started because of that. Now I'm very glad I did. This was an amazing write. It drew me right in, amidst all the happenings in the play. An excellent write. Keep up the good work,
*~Jewl~* -
This write was so intriguing it drew me right in. Keep up the good work and I cant wait too read more of your awesome work.
-
I'm waiting with bated breath for more. You are so intriging.
I finally figured out the who was who and enjoyed this very much, as I do most of your works.
~~~POO~~~ -
