  • Nora Louise Syran: The Demon Lady by John Patrick Bray
    “

    The familiar turns fantastically spooky! And just when you think you know where it's going, Bray takes us in a wild new direction. "Oh the places you'll go" indeed! Check out the audio version on GATHER BY THE GHOSTLIGHT

  • Nora Louise Syran: Bikini Atoll Bombshell by Sheila Cowley
    “

    A nurse stationed on a remote tropical island infected by stir-craziness writes a letter home about boredom, betting, beating waves and bikinis. Lovely naturalistic imagery: tactile, auditory, visual... A good god damn morning coming of age story at the end of the world! A super monologue brought to life by Miranda Jonte on Back Porch Theatre https://fb.watch/mErbdt5Qxu/

  • Nora Louise Syran: Timing by Sheila Cowley

    I found myself utterly captivated by this piece especially as it was brought to life through a lovely reading by Miranda Jonte and Neil McGarry on Back Porch Theatre. Just magical. Warm, real, with pregnant pauses that say everything. Brava playwright. Beautiful work. (https://fb.watch/mEqvTIbRw5/)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Refracted Light by Dana Hall
    “

    Dana Hall has crafted a family drama for this generation. Attention is paid to the importance of mental health of an individual and an entire family. She infuses this piece with not only her own professional expertise but her own light touch to dialogue, pacing and believable characterization. Absolutely accessible. Loved the setting of the water tower... Brava.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Abort: The Mission by Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend
    “

    ABORT: THE MISSION. A comedy? Yes! You'll be laughing at the antics of the three "retirees" as the physical comedy is outrageously funny, but you'll be cringing at the same time at the lengths they are driven--fueled by lots of wine and an obligation to the women of the future--to go. Dellagiarino Feriend offers a profound examination of the current state of our democracy through comedy: the most powerful weapon of all. With it, she disarms us as she arms us --warriors of all generations-- to take up our struggle opposing this current sea of troubles. And end them.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Table for Thirteen by Christopher Plumridge
    “

    Delightful! Bravo, Christopher Plumridge. A jaunty Jesus on the telephone to book a table for 13. Including dietary restrictions for his gang of pescatarians and a reminder to watch how Judas handles splitting the bill! Hysterical. Oh, and one last evening out with Mary Magdalene. Fun.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Afterwards (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    “

    May we never stop asking “Why?” Beneath the indignation, this voice is full of reason. Afterwards exist for this very purpose. A super, timely audition piece.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Marcus and Sextus Take A Bloody Walk Around London by Dominica Plummer
    “

    I'd spend a full evening following Marcus and Sextus on their tour, patrol...stroll round Londinium. Great fun! Super banter, characterization and mystery.
