Fergus’ Envy was first performed at the Monash Secondary College Theatre, on 21 August 2004 with the following cast:

LORD FLORIEN THRUST ... Ross Ditcham
GERTRUDE ... Chris Davies
LUCINDA UNDERCARRIAGE ... Juliet Hayday
TITIANA ... Olivia Hogan

Day three of Lord Florien Thrust’s house party, thrown in honour of Fergus, his valium medicated dog. Titiana wakes up to find she is in a mysterious house. Titiana enters the Drawing Room, wearing a busty dressing gown and an inconspicuous wig. Frantically, she tries to open locked patio doors.

Location
Lord Florien Thrust's three story mansion is located in a secluded country estate with lush gardens, horse stud and rolling meadows.

Relationships
Lucinda Undercarriage and her long time friend, Gertrude volley for top billing with their individual vested interest in Lord Florien Thrust and his billions of dollars. Gertrude's charitable side shines towards Titiana in her cause to save the underprivileged. Lord Florien Thrust manages to tear himself away from his valium medicated dog, Fergus, long enough to realise his long lost love, Titiana is standing before him.

On Stage
This play is written around a very simple set using a piano, couch and a chair. If necessary a couple of side tables and extra furnishing can be added to show off a luxurious sitting room in a mansion.
