The Quarantine Plays

When Coronavirus hit the United States, The Merry Beggars launched a contest for 10-minute radio plays responding to the theme of “quarantine.” We received over 120 submissions from playwrights around the world. While we can’t produce all of them, we’ve chosen twelve original scripts to bring to you.

The Battersea Poltergeist

Tomorrow’s Monsters

Headphones are highly recommended for this immersive, psychological, sci-fi thriller! John Boyega (STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS) stars as Jack Locke, a mysterious conman with a vendetta who infiltrates NextCorp, a Silicon Valley body-hacking startup run by enigmatic CEO Max Fuller, played by Emmy winner Darren Criss (AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE). Nextcorp has secretly been developing a revolutionary new mind app that promises to amplify the human brain in incredible ways. “Shut-Eye,” promises to change the world by eliminating its users’ need to sleep, but when participants of the human trials begin dying off, the program is shut down. Max starts testing the product on himself, unleashing a dormant and dangerous alter ego. As Jack goes toe to toe with Max and his fractured psyche, he finds himself on the run for his life in a race to stop a dark plot seeking to radically advance humankind to its next stage of evolution.

Could’ve Been Heroes

Could’ve Been Heroes is an actual play podcast where six old friends adventure as six total strangers who, after missing their shots at destiny, now get a second chance to make a mess of everything.

Set in the land of Faritall, a world cast in the spirit of Wonderland and Oz, but with more murder, blood and swears. This strange, wondrous place of living fairytales and walking nightmares is recovering from a very near apocalypse after a flood of darkness fell upon it from The World Above.

Told in a new and developing game system of our own design focused on exciting characters based on classic fairytale tropes, twisted, subverted and modernized. Would you suffer the Sacred Curses for spectacular power and near immortality? Yeah, so would we.
