Characters

POPE: Vain, pompous, dramatic! Exaggerates everything. WATSON: Is excitable, bumbling and clueless, every once in a while, he gets it right. HOLMES: Brooding, melodramatic, and sarcastic. Arrogant, but subtle. OLD WOMAN: Wearing a festive sweater. Pathetic, and needs a giant handkerchief. TETZEL: Billy Mays/Sham-wow guy hybrid. : ) MAFIA MEN: Serious. Very serious. JACK SPARROW: Captain Jack Sparrow. The end. TEACHER: The only legitimately serious character. Not melodramatic, serious and truly worried about Luther. LUTHER: Slightly sarcastic, but bold. He needs to be believable, and relatable.

Summary

This was a script that my drama class wrote for a Fall festival on October 31. We wanted a funny, yet biblical, look at the day. We thought we could accomplish that by pointing people back to what else happened on that day (ie, October 31).

Summary

It has been 12 years since Henry VIII broke finally with Rome. At that time, Henry's vice-regent Thomas Cromwell established some limited tolerance for Protestantism, and its influence grew. But now Cromwell is dead, and Henry sees the growing Protestant movement as a threat to his crown. Schismatic he may be, but Henry is determined not also to be a heretic, and has taken a hard line with the Protestants, including burning them at the stake. But unknown to Henry, the Protestant cause is favored by some within his own household, even those closest to him.
