The Unfortunate Courtship of Brian Tanner • A Short Play

The Unfortunate Courtship of Brian Tanner • A Short Play

by Jerry Argetsinger

(For production by  Community Groups, LDS Church Groups)

Brian, a happy bachelor in frontier Utah, feels unwarranted pressure to find a bride.  His Aunt May believes her prayers have been answered when the wagon belonging to three eligible women breaks down near their general store.  While Aunt May plans some serious match making, Brian plots to present a distorted picture of himself that no one would want to marry. It is very funny, yet, touching at the same time. Wonderful for a production in a Ward or Stake, or as part of a Stake One-Act Play Festival.
