One Day

David wrote this short script in about 1971 for possible television production as a ‘silent comedy’ – a kind of combination of silent movie and “Monty Python” comic sketch. But it might have been better conceived as a short animated film, using plasticine characters and sets, in the style (if they’d been around at the time) of “Wallace and Gromit”.

Indeed, the atmosphere, of class-bound 1950s conventionalism and repression, is very close to that of “Wallace and Gromit” – though not so affectionately remembered! It could also make a short stage production – a combination of mime and slapstick that might appeal to amateur drama groups. It’s a script – never intended for ordinary reading.
