Individually Published Plays

A collection of Stage and Screen Plays by Rebecca Buckley.

Rebecca Buckley's collection of plays - stage and screen - is an electric assortment of drama and comedy writing. Although she says she doesn't claim to write comedy, the comedic subtleties are there just the same, as in real life.

MY DRAMEDY includes:

"George & Lottie" - (a continuation of a play by Willie Russell: "Educating Rita") in which Ms. Buckley felt compelled to write the ending she felt it should have had in Russell's play, being the romantic that she is. In her play, the story begins when the two main characters meet again after 20 years.

"Opposite Ends of the Rainbow" - a take on Ms. Buckley's May - December romance with Mr. Buckley during a tumultuous courtship. Some is true, some is not . . . in either case it makes for an entertaining whirlwind of a relationship.

"Peace in the Valley" - another half-true story, with more poetic license taken than in Rainbow. About a woman under tremendous stress who runs away from L.A. and responsibilities to where no one knows her, searching for she knows not what. A terrific surprise awaits her in Montana.

"Cafe Dustyefsky" - a drama with music (music and lyrics by Don Dominguez), a story based on the piano bar days during the '80s in Santa Monica. Days and nights that are forever etched in Ms. Buckley's heart and memory. Says those were her best times, when piano bars were alive and in abundance.

"Rocky Rhodes" ('Where Do We Go from Here') - an aging Hollywood hooker who wins the lottery and fulfills her promise to God if he'd let her win. She also manages to win over the judge in the L.A. juvenile court division, and takes juveniles into her Beverly Hills mansion to rehab. The neighbors are in an uproar and the head of social services is livid, fighting her at every turn, he says 'once a hooker, always a hooker.'

"Little Katie McMullen" - about the life of British novelist Catherine Cookson. An incredible woman, an incredible life! This is based on the true-life story of one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century.
