  • Samantha Marchant: IN BLOOM by Gabriel Jason Dean
    “

    Powerful. The choices the characters made lead to well-written, utterly devastating outcomes. I could feel the tension build and build towards the end as I read - it would be such an experience to watch live!

  • Samantha Marchant: Portmanteaux by Deborah Yarchun

    A wonderful two-hander with a lot of great stuff for the actors, director, designers to dig in to! Movement and space is thoughtfully laid out. I particularly liked the juxtaposition of the scenes of Liza at her jobs and Dale at his post. Would love to hear Liza's compositions live.

    Ranger does a great job creating atmosphere in this script. The pace and rhythm of the dialogue transferred me to that soup kitchen, building, building, building to a stunning breath of rest at the end.

  • Samantha Marchant: TRANSMISSION by Gwydion Suilebhan

    Currently riding this train that is 2021, the ideas in this script sunk deeply into my core. It is successful in making me question and it would be invigorating to join in on the discussion. It's fabulous that the audience is encourage to engage so directly with what's said before the end of the night. The use of sound and light is great.

  • Samantha Marchant: A Skeptic and a Bruja by Rosa Fernandez

    In real life, I tend to lean more towards the skeptic route, but this script had me believing and wanting to tell the characters, "Get out of the house!" Good job creating a spooky atmosphere and questioning what it means to believe and to doubt.

    PLAYDAY challenges assumptions about age, playing and working with well-crafted, halting dialogue and imagery doing wonderful things with height.

    Funny and strange, like having to sell candy door to door as a child. The Sarahs made me want the blue bike. I felt happy and sad when Sarah 3 rides off and her wig remains. Well done!

    An extremely well crafted script about a very real current event that leads to such a potent ending.

  • Samantha Marchant: Persephone by Jennifer O'Grady
    “

    This script shifts with ease. I enjoyed the line about Persephone being a goddess and Jill being a nursery-rhyme character, it's packed with so much this play is about - fate, disappointment, motherhood, relationships. Great!
