It’s been a while since we let our Thespian talents loose on the web so I am putting forward a list of potential cast members and will be needing all of you to assist with the main plot.
The following list of cast members is only a suggestion anybody that has a far more apt member of the site to take on any of these roles or indeed that wishes to volunteer for any of the parts suggested, (or create your own), feel free to enter your comments.
Stan (The Bus Driver) -Less, (I believe suitable for the role of ‘Mr. Jobsworth’).
Jack (Conductor)-Rindy, (yes, I know, type casting, but we need a ‘bird puller’).
Mum (of Stan)-
Margaret Rothwell, (She’d keep Stan in line).
Olive-Blazey, (maybe she doesn’t look the part but she would act it so naturally).
Arthur- Neil, (Never really has much to do but useful for the one-liners).
Clippies-Slinks, shillelagh, Mez, Bernadette, (anyone that looks good in a uniform really).
Irate passenger-Mick, (if for no other reason than, because I’m easily bribed).
Little Old lady-grannyclaret, (famous on stage and screen for her one woman show,
White Rabbits).
Various bit parts can be handed out as we go along.
Mick just called around to borrow a cup of memory chips and leaning over my shoulder has pointed out that I’ve missed out a main character and of course he is right.
I was leaving this one until I could perhaps get a little inspiration, it is a crucial part and requires someone that can not only tolerate being the butt of most of the cast’s jokes but also, at the same time project the image of a blustering bear with a sore head!
Nope, I’ve racked my brains, tried my best, even Mick is looking a little blank, (“nothing new there”, I here you cry!).
So I’ll leave it up to the rest of you, Who could we possibly get to play…..
Blakey-(The Bus Inspector)?
So it’s on with your thinking caps, come on everybody let’s get the show on the road.
