Percy's Last Joke by Melanie goodinge
Medium: Short Film. Email: mgooding@globalnet.co.uk
Percy and Rita, a retired couple, are getting ready to go
on holiday. Their relationship is revealed as somewhat peculiar:
Percy is constantly playing practical jokes on his long-suffering
wife, as if driven by some obsessive, almost manic, need
to make her laugh. Rita, stoic in her response to his irritating
behaviour, seems unable to express her real needs to Percy.
In the final scene of the screenplay we learn of the grief
they have both tried to hide from in their different ways
for so many years and we understand how their failure to
communicate with each other has ultimately contributed to
their tragic end.

This is a black comedy about three middle-aged men: Dave,
Jim and O.D. They were all born and raised in the same seaside
town buy each has gone his very separate way in life. They
meet once a year on the anniversary of the suicide of Mifanwy,
a childhood friend, th 'pay their respects'. All teenagers
when she died, each man harbours a different 'secret' about
Mifanwy's death. After a quarter of a century this annual
ritual is about the only thing which still connects them.
The appearance of Mifanwy's twin sister, Vanessa, at their
25th reunion shatters their illusions about Mifanwy and
their lives. I suppose that I believe that suicide in young
people can come from an intense and morbid curiosity, a
desire to push things as far as they can go.
