Ted & Lee’s best-known play is finally available in script form! Fish-Eyes: The Complete Script (Plus) features all 14 scenes about Peter and Andrew’s encounters with Jesus, plus a history of the play and great road stories. Spiral-bound for easy use. Great just to read, or for performance by amateurs or professionals.
Fish-Eyes can be performed in full (a 90-minute play) or in parts. The scenes range from hilarious to haunting, about five to ten minutes each. All of the material puts the audience in the skin of Peter and Andrew as they experience Jesus.
Scene topics: THE CALL / THE WEDDING AT CANA/THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT / THE FEEDING OF THE 5000 & THE CALMING OF THE STORM* / THE TRANSFIGURATION / THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY/THE LAST SUPPER / JESUS’ ARREST / PETER’S DENIAL / THE UPPER ROOM / BREAKFAST ON THE BEACH
IMPORTANT: Those performing the material must purchase two scripts (one for each character), and remit royalties for each performance. ($25 for each performance up to one hour long; $50 for each performance over an hour; unlimited one-year license for not-for-profit church use: $150.)
The video Fish-Eyes On Stage! is a great additional resource for drama groups. See the work performed by the authors!
*Scenes IV and V ("Feeding" & "Storm", are available as a DOWNLOADABLE PDF, with the performance royalty included. These scripts were recently performed at the Willow Creek Leadership Summits.
About Script Options and Royalties
The Fish-Eyes script is published using a similar model to professional script services such as Samuel French. Producing companies purchase the same number of scripts as there are characters in the play (2 in this case), and then remit royalties for each public performance of the material.
Script options
- Souvenir Copy (1 book): This is for those who simply wish to read the play for enjoyment or to decide if they wish to perform it.
- Actor’s Pack (2 books): This meets the requirements of public performance use: one script for each of the two characters in the play.
- Director’s Pack (3 books): This set gives you a savings on the third book, if you’d like your director to have one, too. (not required)
Royalties
Royalties are due regardless of type of use (profit or non-profit). Special permission must be acquired for profit ventures such as touring stock, dinner theater, etc. No special permission is required if a non-profit such as a church is performing Fish-Eyes as a fund-raiser.
