The Scribbler

In a kingdom in the old times, the only person who can read and write is Bartleby the town scribe. Except even he can’t, leaving the work to his sister Athena who can. But under the backward rule of the outburst-prone King Scoopty Woop, women aren’t allowed the right to write. When a rival kingdom sends a written declaration of war, Bartleby and Athena scramble to avoid violence, swindle to keep their secret, and struggle to make their kingdom a better place for all.

Note: This performance is a dress rehearsal.

Themes

  • In this play, the main characters strive to make the best of a bad situation. They have a violent and nonsensical king and the laws are unjust. In what ways do we face similar challenges in our world? How can we make the best of difficult situations together? 
Contains moments of staged violence (via bow and arrow). Children are recommended to be 11 years of age or older.
