Whenever

by Alan Ayckbourn

EMILY: is a young orphan who lives in the Victorian era. Her favourite uncle, Martin, has invented a time machine. In a heated argument, her other uncle Lucas attacks Martin. Emily believes that she has seen a murder. She hides from Lucas in the time machine and presses the controls to escape by travelling through time. She arrives in an air raid in World War II, only to be abducted and taken to her wicked uncle Lucas – now an old man of ninety. She is rescued by OSCAR, an Air Raid Patrol warden, and they escape using the time machine, but they don’t know where and when they have ‘landed’.

Gizmo

by Alan Ayckbourn

BEN has been paralysed with fear after witnessing a fatal shooting. Though physically unhurt, he is unable to move. Fortunately a technological breakthrough by “Gizmo” has helped him. A device, rather like a wristwatch, is fixed to his arm and through it he exactly copies the movements of the person wearing the transmitter. In this scene he has fallen into the hands of a gangster and has been left alone with the gangster’s moll, CEVRIL.

Nicholas Nickleby

by Charles Dickens

The scene takes place in FANNY Squeers’ parlour, the day after an uncomfortable tea party. TILDA Price has just arrived, to be greeted by Fanny.

Whenever

by Alan Ayckbourn
EMILY: (Looking about her) Where are we now? I think we have moved forward again. I cannot make this Machine go backwards. Uncle Martin was right. (Aware of Oscar) Oscar? Are you hurt! Oscar! 
OSCAR: (Emerging) Where are we? 
EMILY: I am uncertain. Somewhere in the future, I presume… 
OSCAR: I don’t believe it. You mean we’ve – we’ve actually travelled – through time? It was all true? 
EMILY: Of course. I told you, Oscar. 
OSCAR: (Laughing a little hysterically) Sorry, I’m – I’m having a bit of a problem with this. I am standing here in the future, right? In my own future? 
EMILY: Both our futures.

Gizmo

by Alan Ayckbourn
CEVRIL: What happened to you, then? Been in a fight?
BEN: It’s – rather a long story.
CEVRIL: (Shrugging.)​ I’ve got nothing else to do.
BEN: I witnessed a fight. Or rather witnessed a killing. Two killings.
CEVRIL: (Not over-impressed. )​ I see.
BEN: I – I was left paralysed.
CEVRIL: What? A bullet, was it?
BEN: No. Just in my mind. Do you understand? (​CEVRIL​ studies him.)

Nicholas Nickleby

by Charles Dickens
TILDA: Well, Fanny, you see I have come to see you, although we had words last night. 
FANNY: I pity your bad passions, Tilda, but I bear no malice. I am above it. 
TILDA: Don’t be cross, Fanny. I have come to tell you something that I know will please you. 
FANNY: (Pretending to be disinterested) What may that be, Tilda? 
TILDA: This… after we left here last night, John and I had a dreadful quarrel.
