Brian D. Taylor Plays
I'm a writer who loves telling fun and interesting tales and a gamer who is building nerdy tabletop board games with his brother and a crafty boi working with his daughter to make fun jewelry... and would like to invite you in on that entire creative journey, wherever you fit into that fandom. All are welcome here.
Site under construction
Plays and musicals for youth, educational, and community theatres.
And... a writer who is still working on building his new website and learning a new web-building environment along the way. Bear with me fans... I'm doing my best to get it all updated and improved so we can engage more like we used to... but this site is still in testing mode and under construction for a bit. I'm busy ridding it of most of (but not all of) the pesky rodents and cleaning up all of the dust to make it as helpful resource for all of us and our kindred spirits. I also hope it looks fun and pretty. Check out those laser pigeons. Fun right? That's where we've been and there's more where we're going.
In the meanwhile and while I get this going for, pretty much all of my more important work can be accessed here: https://www.pioneerdrama.com/AuthorDetail.asp?ac=TAYLORBRIA
Ready to tackle a murder mystery that really teases the brain? With a fun play-within-a-play plot that challenges both the mind and the metaphysical, this comic mystery is certain to have your audiences coming back for more.
The players at The Murder Mystery Playhouse are rehearsing a new show, Putting a Little English on It. It’s a not-so-good attempt at a British murder mystery, complete with cheesy dramatic music and British accents. As expected at the final dress rehearsal, the lights go out and a character dies onstage — only this murder wasn’t in the script! The authorities are quickly called, and soon the company finds themselves replaying the death scene. When yet another person dies at the end of the same scene, the cast finds themselves replaying the same scene over and over for other investigators, a theatre critic, and even the playwright himself! But every time they get to the end of the scene, someone else ends up with a fire poker in the chest. The actors are left scratching their heads at the strange circumstances and also worried that they could be next. It all culminates in a wild surprise ending in which the actors must work together to defeat the murderer before he murders them all.
