Welcome to the bytheRIVERside . . . official website of Sid River

On this website you will find a collection of comedy scripts, sketches and mini-plays which you are free to use in the classroom, theatre, assembly hall or just for your own amusement. They have all been successfully tested on live children, mostly to great effect (notably in class assemblies and end of year reviews).
 
All we ask is that you credit the author with the work and possibly send an email to bytheriverside to let us know what you thought of it and how successful the performance was. If you are intending to charge a fee for a production, please see the usage guidelines.

"Heaven, Earth and a horse of wood" - An Ancient Greek epic 

 

An epic tale of Ancient Greece. Unusually for me, this has five scenes and almost constitutes an complete play. This is really funny and is a great excuse for going mental with costumes, scenery, music, sound effects and jokes about olives. Just make sure that you have a shed load of white bed sheets before you start!
