  • 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. ”
  • BLIZZARD IN HAWAII by Charles Scott Jones
    10 Mar. 2024
    “ Charles Scott Jones has created a quirky delight of a play with so much warmth in it to melt the iciest hearts. With clever wordplay this is such fun that anyone and everyone can be entertained by it. Off the wall, unique and wonderfully seasonal - at any time of year. ”
  • Sadie Hawkins Dance: A monologue by Ryan Vaughan
    19 Feb. 2024
    “ Another cracking piece of writing from Ryan Vaughan. This is both sensitive and very funny and a wonderful monologue for a young person and gives the performer plenty to get their teeth into. As writing goes for the age group it offers great variety and ideal to help stretch the ability of the actor. Love it! ”
  • Find a ring and pick it up: A monologue by Ryan Vaughan
    19 Feb. 2024
    “ This is a utter delight on every level. A perfect piece for a young performer to use and one which will delight audiences. Along the way it offers a number of subject matters to ponder and discuss. Spot on writing from Ryan Vaughan. ”
  • TAH TAH TATAS by John Kelly
    18 Feb. 2024
    “ This is very funny indeed. John Kelly tells a wonderfully bonkers story with some blisteringly funny lines while at the same time making some lovely observations about sex, sexuality and relationships. I can't help but think there is a longer play aching to be written here John! This is huge fun! ”
  • Hold My Hand (a one-minute play) by John Busser
    18 Feb. 2024
    “ Oh how very clever is John Busser. Telling a story in one minute is tricky enough, but telling one which creates such vivid imagery is something else. Here the writer knows exactly how to manipulate the audience and comes up with something which will stay with you for many more than 60 seconds. First rate! ”
  • Gimme Shelter by Brent Alles
    18 Feb. 2024
    “ This cracking take on a Poe story of revenge is chock full of atmosphere and tension as both the audience and Bobby are lead up a path we don't expect. Brent Alles writes with an ease of delivery; natural and unforced and in a few short minutes creates a compelling and very well told story. Fantastic stuff! ”
  • Star Witness by Lee R. Lawing
    11 Feb. 2024
    “ The more I read of Lee Lawing's writing, the more I adore the way his mind works - and here, again, both the premise and the resultant play are wondrous to behold. The smile broadens wider and wider as this story of art treasures under state control is blasted into the stratosphere by a plot twist which is beautifully executed. As star witnesses go, this one is pretty special and the ending is just joyful. Tremendous! ”
  • NOT EXACTLY HOW I REMEMBERED IT by Monica Cross
    11 Feb. 2024
    “ How in a minute Monica Cross can engage the reader/viewer with emotions. Wow! The use of nostalgia which so many can identify with and with the love of a parent for a child is so poignant, so perfect and so clever. An absolute gem! ”
  • Didn’t See That Coming by Matthew Garlin
    11 Feb. 2024
    “ Oh this is a real cracker. Matthew Garlin sets the premise up so well and when he serves it to you, it isn't what you think. Written in a style akin to Harold Pinter at times, this dark comedy is a wonderful opportunity for actors to indulge in a meaty script which will leave the audience with a gasp and a wide smile! Fabulous! ”
