It’s not always easy to know the right thing to do. For the people in these five short plays, life can be difficult and sometimes very funny.

Harry and his friends are fed up because they haven’t got any money. But Harry has a plan to change all this. It’s a good plan, but even the best plans can go badly wrong …

‘Listen,’ says Ron, ‘My friend over there has got a gun. Give me the money! Give it to me now!’

‘What money?’ the woman answers. ‘I’m sorry, this is not a bank. This is a library.’

Things are often more difficult than they seem. But as in all these plays, people are often more interesting, and much funnier, when they’re trying to do the right thing.
