Wallet Mermaid: A Red Shuttleworth One-Act Play

Wallet Mermaid

a one-act play

Red Shuttleworth

Wallet Mermaid (cast of two women and three men in their twenties) is a romantic comedy (running time of about 45-minutes). It is contemporary... set in rural central Texas. In their twenties and terminally adolescent, with rodeo dreams and get-rich-quick schemes crumbled, Gregg, Constance, Hank, Shortson, and Sheila are crossed wires... sparking and snapping.

Wallet Mermaid received a reading, directed by the author, at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, on March 23, 1990.  It had the following cast: Annelisa Blake, Christopher Danowski, J.B. Lawton, Toni Loppnow, and Ian Bradford Pugh.

Wallet Memaid received development and a reading at Sundance Playwrights Lab on July 18, 1990... thanks to the Lab's Artistic Director, David Kranes, who kindly and generously shoehorned this one-act play into an already full schedule of rehearsals and readings.  The Sundance reading of Wallet Mermaid was organized and directed by Lisa Peterson... with Ethan Phillips as dramaturg.

The Sundance Playwrights Lab 1990 reading of Wallet Mermaid featured the following cast:

          Daniel Jenkins.............................. Gregg

          Eden Alair.................................... Constance

          Doug Hutchison........................... Hank

          Dana Mills................................... Shortson

          Alyssa McGuinness..................... Sheila

Those wishing to receive a copy of  the script, should send an email to Red Shuttleworth (redshuttleworth@gmail.com).
