For those of a certain age this is wonderfully evocative. Rose-tinted spectacles maybe, but the DJ perfectly captures an era which is long gone and the explanation to the unseen young character is passionate and disappointed by turn. A comment on music in general and a social commentary which Robert LeBlanc clearly understands and vocalises brilliantly.

Philip Middleton Williams has a wonderful mind. He visualises and paints the most vivid pictures whilst putting down words like a supreme painter at work. This is a wonderfully eclectic mix of both the dramatic and the amusing and of the intensely personal. Smiles will form and tears will fall - that's what makes theatre.

This is a wonderfully accessible version of Kipling's stories. Christine Foster knows exactly how to write for young audiences and this splendid adaptation will keep them entranced and entertained completely. I cannot recommend Christine's work hard enough if you are looking for lucid, fun and engrossing productions for young people to watch or perform; she brings stories to life to make unforgettable theatre.

This is such a delightful play of coming to terms with sexuality and some of the awkwardness that comes with it. Sam Heyman's scenario is entirely believable and written with wit and compassion. I can see a longer play within here with these characters as strong as they are it could really work. Lovely to read a play about these subject matters which is not drenched in too much angst!

The power that Nick Nappo is able to conjour up in such a few minutes is incredible. This immensely moving and poignant play of love and loss, of grief and responsibility is all the more vital because the characters are teenagers. In it's quiet way this carries a loud message. The writer has offered a dynamic and memorably punchy script.

This is a clever little piece. Observing people in an art gallery or museum has been something I have enjoyed for many years - people have opinions which they voice, or they have none, or something in between. People ignore instructions and comply with them. People appreciate art or relics - others cannot. Performing this with 25 or so would be a brilliant realisation of what actually happens! Go to a gallery or museum and just watch from afar - this play will be made real - better still, see it performed in a theatre.

This is an absolute cracker! Tom Moran has crafted an hilarious - and rather disturbing - play about family life and the relationship between parent and child. Is it for 'real'? Is it just a big joke? You decide! But what you have here is a smart piece of writing which will make you laugh and, very probably, gasp! Great stuff!

Wonderfully awkward and completely lacking confidence -the garbled introduction made my Amanda is very amusing and cringy. It is so easy to hear her voice and see her delivering the first things that come into her head as she tries to come to terms with her sexuality. A lovely short monologue from Cora Frank which will definitely put a smile on your face.

An utterly delightful piece of work. Sam Heyman offers up this quirky 'growing up' story with humour and emotion. It is a simple tale and one with such empathy for the characters that it fills you with warmth and hope. A super piece of work.

This is a highly effective and really entertaining piece of work. The interaction of characters and writer is obviously fantasy but there is an incredibly realistic quality to the dialogue - and this is cracking work from Tom Moran - I have a huge affection for the word 'varmint'. An ingenious plot, executed in a really fun and funny way. Highly recommended - would be a complete hoot to see performed!
