THe MYOPIC PENNY FARTHING Log Line:

A Penny Farthing goes on a journey to get to the bike shop through a dangerous construction site.

Premise:
Will the old Penny Farthing get to the Bike shop?

Step Outline:
Penny farthing strolls around the streets Stops to see two signs opposite each other at the road (To the audience) One sign reads KEEP OUT-Construction site Ahead Penny farthing squints and tries to make out that sign one says only to appear blurred Penny farthing sighs and looks at the other sign (To both audience and Penny farthing) the other sign reads Bike Shop- 1 mile Penny farthing gets excited and enters the construction site As penny farthing strolls along the site, he presses a switch Crane from above turns and hits a set of scaffolding frames with the construction ball Scaffolding falls in front of Penny farthing without knowing whats going on and rolls down into a ditch A wooden board from the scaffold slides down and lays itself on top of the ditch-full of frames and forms a bridge for the penny farthing to cross One scaffolding frame falls and hits a nearby ramp, launching a banana from the other end Banana goes up and hits another nearby ramp on a scaffold The other end of the ramp lowers and hits another switch Another crane lowers a large tube in front of the penny farthing

Penny farthing enters and crosses it as a tunnel Penny farthing exits the tube and ends up on one side of a ramp The crane holding the tube, its wires get snapped dropping the tube in the process Tube lands on one end of the ramp, launching the penny farthing (who has already gone to the other end of the ramp) into the sky Penny farthing lands back at the entrance of the site Dazed and a bit confused, Penny farthing goes forth to what he thinks the bike shop is ahead of him whilst not knowing that hes leaving the site entrance behind him.

Script Act 1:
Scene 1: An old partially sighted penny Farthing strolls around the neighbourhood. He cycles ahead and suddenly stops. The old bike looks up and sees two signs sitting opposite each other. One sign reads, Keep Out- Construction site ahead however the old bike tries to readjust his vision but the sign appears blurry to him. He sighs and looks at the other sign. This one he can make out the words reading, Bike Shop- 1 Mile. Feeling excited the fact that therell be others like him in the shop he happily strolls ahead into the construction site despite its danger sign.

Act 2:
Scene 2: As the penny farthing happily strolls along the construction site not noticing the dangers around and above him. He runs over a switch, activating a crane which swings the construction ball that is hanging at the end of the line. The ball hits against some scaffolding frames that are above the bike, knocking them down in the process. Some of the frames fall in front of the old bike which rolls down into the small ditch, a large wooden board from above slides down on top of the scaffolding bars allowing the bike to happily cycle on top. As some frames are left slowly falling, one frame (set further in front of the penny farthing) tops over and lands on a plank of wood (which is balancing on a construction drum) launching a banana that is sitting on the other end. The banana becomes squashed as it hits another scaffolding frame, making the frame hit another switch. As the Penny farthing is cycling along a large construction tube is lowered down (by a crane), creating a bridge for the bike to cross. Once the penny farthing exits out of the tube, he ends up on a ramp. As the penny farthing reaches to the end of the ramp, the crane holding the tube snaps and again launches the old bike into the air.

Act 3:
Scene 3: Spinning around in the air, the penny farthing finally lands back on his wheels again but looks dazed and confused. Looking around, he wonders what just happened. Still thinking that there is still a small distance to go to the bike shop, the penny farthing happily

continues forward not realising or seeing that he is walking away from the entrance of the construction site.
