Cultures clash even when you think and hope they won't. Religion, sports and other things divide this couple. A marriage is in trouble and we find out one of the biggest reasons late in the piece. This play is so sad, but so very real

Poor Mina...she hasn't a clue at first. This is a fast and funny piece about being new to school and not belonging. Perfect for secondary school performances.

This is such a sweet monologue...about creating a world for someone once you have found your love. All those years later two people meet and share their past. They remember their own past life by creating a new one on paper.

I just listened to The Bear-Beginnings: a podcast on Gather by the Ghost Light. What a sweet endearing story about a bear, his beginnings and his adventures with Hilda, a young Jewish girl. This is the second time I've recommended it, as the podcast was so very good.

Mama has dementia and Jade is going through a transition, so communication is limited and frustrating. But from time to time the mind clears and mother and son can have a moment. For those who have gone through it or are going through it, this will seem familiar. Thank heavens for WW II music.

This monologue is almost painful to read. No, he didn't ask for it. Yes, he said no. And yet the monster forced himself on him and turn a life dark; a life that was always guarded. A life missing real love due to this assault. Powerful and moving.

Growing up is hard especially when you don't know what to do with your young life and going into a new school looms large. This is.a nice two hander about a mother and daughter.

This monologue tells a delightful romantic story...about how his parents fell in love in a big yellow bus...about "holding breath time", so as not to ruin the moment. And by telling his class about this, he learns a lot about himself.

This two hander has stayed with me overnight. So much is packed into this short play. Two people with not much in common joust-one is a bully; the other a busybody. In the end you feel for both of them.

I like this theory...makes sense to me unless you carry it a bit too far, This is a monologue that will take the audience on a journey. They'll be shaking their heads yes as they agree with the speaker. That is until the end of the piece. Shop at Aldi's. You have to rent their carts.
