This 1-hour, 3-actor, 3-scene comedy is meant to be enjoyed with friends around the dinner table after a good meal and plenty of libations.

The premise: The two main characters, Albert and Larry, are 80-year-old twins who have been picking at each other all their lives. They share an apartment, have just purchased a new TV, and are having some difficulty getting it to work. Sounds simple, but things go downhill fast from there and eventually off the cliff when the landlord arrives. The play has a lot of quick back-and-forth dialogue, so it reads like a comedy routine. It can be performed sitting around the table if someone is reading the stage directions. The actual age of actors is not important.

Minimum props required: TV remote, cell phone, two pieces of paper with Awww! and Clap! written on them, two foldout brochures of any kind to function as a TV Quick Start Guide and headphone guide. The rest can be mimed.

If your plan is to perform it onstage, go for it. You have my blessing as long as you credit the work. Posting a review with a pic of the production would be possibly hilarious, but definitely cool.

Reviews: The Lansdowne Times might call Remotely Annoying the funniest thing since sliced bread, but nobody thinks sliced bread is funny, and there is no Lansdowne Times. However, this play has been fully tested and approved by eight brave souls who, may they rest in peace, died laughing.
