Geoff And The Australian

Cast:
Geoff
Totally Awesome Australian - wearing outback hat, mustache wrapping around to jowls, khaki button-down shirt

(Setting: walking down the steps into the 8th Street stop on the uptown N R W)

Totally Awesome Australian: (in thick Australian accent) Excuse me mate, does this train go to 42nd Street?

Geoff: Yes it does.

Totally Awesome Australian: Dandy! (jumps into kangaroo's pouch, throws a boomerang which comes back with about fifty barbecued shrimp)

BLACKOUT

PS Everything except the last parenthetical is true.

Geoff,

I fell in love with your script. I have to say...I couldn't put it down. I also have to say...I couldn't pick it up at first. (Monitors are heavy!), but as soon as I got it on my lap in bed last night...this script kept me up all night! Needless to say, I'd love to turn it into a full length play. I know Australia, Geoff. I know its heart, its soul...and I can taste the deadly poison from all of its crazy and made-up sounding animals.

Geoff - let's do this! Let's do "Geoff and the Australian"! Let's make New York City fall in love with Australia all over again! Can we do that, Geoff? Can we?

I bet we can, "mate"!

Also - I'm a very slow reader.
Love,
