About the Play:
Your Flake or Mine? is a full-length comedy by Jack
Sharkey. The play features a greeting card writer who can't stop talking in quirky rhyming
couplets. He's trying to win back his wife who's looking to leave him
for her boss, but all kinds of characters show up to provide
entertainment – helpful and not so helpful – along the way.
Your Flake or Mine? is about Tony Dawson, a greeting card writer who has lost his wife Margo
because he talks in couplets rhyming on the wrong occasions. She
plans to marry her boss Sagamore, a breakfast food tycoon. Tony, in a
last ditch attempt to win her back, offers to throw a
"no-hard-feelings" engagement party. His plans are
complicated by the arrival of a friend, Irving, who is a perpetual
student; the nightclub singer, Coral, for whom he is writing special
material; and his eccentric copy editor, Lucille, who stops by just
before the party to collect his monthly greeting card output. Irving
is wearing a towel on his way to the shower, Coral gets her dress
ripped off, and the editor is stashed in the closet which Tony
pretends is a darkroom. Add to this a ghastly television show on
which Tony accidentally pans Sagamore's breakfast cereal, and all
manner of people being shoved behind screens, out into halls, into
closets and shower stalls and you have one of the wackiest farces
ever seen on a stage.
Your Flake or Mine? has been produced widely at colleges and community theatres.
Cast: 3 female, 3 male
