Selling Mona

This screenplay has been written as part of my Master of Arts in Screenwriting (by research).

Selling Mona is a mystery thriller script set in 1913 within a large English manor house. It follows the story of an undercover police operation into a private auction for the Mona Lisa, two years after its theft. Our protagonist, Evelyn Meyer works as a secretary within the police force, when one day, she receives a tip off about a police officer working in a criminal conspiracy to sell the stolen artwork. Terrified at this knowledge becoming known around the force, Evelyn becomes Miss Stone and is placed undercover in the heart of the operation to join prospective bidders and rescue the iconic painting.
