Cox and Box & Trial By Jury

Cox and Box What a Rataplan! (it might be considered criminal) Shyster military man, Sergeant Bouncer, rents the same room to Mr. Box by day and Mr. Cox by night – until one of them gets unexpected time off and the two lodgers unwittingly cross paths. Imagine the farcical outcome as the unscrupulous landlord tries to avoid the inevitable conflict by engaging both of his tenants in his “Rataplan, rataplan, I’m a military man” theme song. Only discovering that they share the same former fiancé and that they are long lost brothers could make the camaraderie and musical merriment more ridiculous. What a plan indeed!

The audience is invited to join the jury as a quintet of “Wand’ring Minstrels” impersonate a lecherous judge, a gold digging plaintiff, a self-professed cad of a defendant, a dim witted bailiff, and a sleazy female lawyer – turning the courtroom proceedings upside down with self-serving arguments and musical mayhem!
