Hell Wolves and Shadow Hawks

One-Act Play

Jeremy has lost his dog, a German Shepherd bitch called Brandy. It is the weekend and he is calling door to door in his local area in the hope of finding someone who has sighted the elusive canine. He decides to venture up the long, overgrown driveway of a property called Honeystone Nook, a pretty but rundown cottage on the edge of town. He is invited inside by a drab, awkward woman only to find he is soon a reluctant guest in the home of the eccentric Gribble family.

Setting
The action takes place at the Hell-Wolves’ campsite in a dense forest at night.

Synopsis
A motley band of mercenaries known as the Hell Wolves are journeying home after a successful mission to save a princess from the clutches of an evil orc-lord. However, Cassian Bloodbraid, their self-appointed leader, is wondering whether the reward money is enough compensation for the royal’s incessant moaning and constant sniping. When a rival band, the all-female Shadow Hawks, arrive to relieve them of their princess in order to claim the reward for themselves, the Hell Wolves are tempted to hand over her Highness. But with gold and, more importantly, pride at stake, Cassian readies his team for combat.
