  • Any Last Words: A Monologue by Cole Hunter Dzubak
    16 Apr. 2024
    “ Cole Hunter Dzubak offers up an absolute winner of a monologue here - damn, wish I had written it!!! A simple question creates a wonderful look at something you cannot (and maybe shouldn't) plan and here the writer uses historical examples and wit to tell a story which has great depth - and I bet it will get you thinking about your own last words!! Fantastic! ”
  • The Powder Room by Christine Foster
    16 Apr. 2024
    “ Christine Foster creates the most wonderful scenario in ten minutes with a story which could be played over two hours on stage on many years in real life. The build up, the climax and the conclusion are perfectly balanced to arrive at a play which is both comic and touching and which is packaged with precision and care. A cracking piece. ”
  • Stockholm Or... by Christopher Plumridge
    16 Apr. 2024
    “ I have yet to discover the secret behind writing an effective piece of writing lasting just a minute or so; I need to take a lesson from Christopher Plumbridge in this many layered and three dimensional piece. It is exquisite in what is said and what is left to the imagination, though I yearn to know more about this character and the pull that draws him back to where he came from... beautiful, mysterious with an aching romantic undertone. ”
  • 6,745 by Neil Radtke
    28 Mar. 2024
    “ Even the thought of isolation lasting 6,745 days makes me feel claustrophobic; the description of what Gerald has missed over the years is invigorating and inspiring and then Neil Radtke pulls the rabbit out of the hat with a most wonderful sting in the tail. Cracking stuff. ”
  • Shakespeare Goes Wrong by Joshua Watters
    28 Mar. 2024
    “ Joshua Watters has created a wonderfully clever Shakespeare mash-up; full of the Bard's characters and all larger than life. Aimed at schools, I can see many a theatre company having an absolute ball and the chance to go way over the top! Inventive, inspired and hilarious. I would adore to see this on stage and hope it gets many productions! ”
  • Please, Don't Go by Neil Radtke
    25 Mar. 2024
    “ Heavens above - the most effective 1 minute play I have ever come across. Neil Ratke slaps you across the face and thumps you in the stomach almost at the same time. A huge achievement, ”
  • Trust the Axe by Lee R. Lawing
    10 Mar. 2024
    “ The whole idea of Axe Throwing and Beer just makes me laugh immediately and with his innate talent to write of the unusual, Lee Lawing has built a thoroughly engaging play about competitiveness and relationships. Staging the play could be a great challenge - especially with the audience being the target! Huge fun. ”
  • Flight of Fancy by Morey Norkin
    10 Mar. 2024
    “ To read a Morey Norkin play is to be entertained by the unconventional, the inventive and the hugely entertaining. The scenario is something which may not be too far in the future; but the innate relationship which builds between the passenger and attendant may not be ready for a few years - but it is so well realised that you shouldn't be too sure!!!! Wonderful! ”
  • Writer's Block by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    10 Mar. 2024
    “ Rachel Feeny-WIlliams may well be in autobiographical mode here - though in doing so she speaks volumes to many writers. Where do ideas come from and why do they arrive at unexpected moments and why aren't they there when you want them? A wonderful evocation of the frustration of an artist! Cracking stuff. ”
  • A TEXAS CHRISTMAS CAROL by Barry Smoot
    10 Mar. 2024
    “ This is such a clever and effective version of Dickens' classic story. Barry Smoot has created a cracking scenario by which to tell the story with versions of the characters so well crafted. It works so well and I have little doubt would be a hugely entertaining show to see on stage. Original, affecting and great fun. ”
