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

The script for Wallet Mermaid is only available to artistic directors (who are seriously interested in fully producing the play) at professional theatres, university theatres, and college theatres. Those wishing to receive a copy of  the script, should send an email to Red Shuttleworth (redshuttleworth@gmail.com).
