  • Nora Louise Syran: I Blame the Parents

    A super spin on the Medusa myth. Easy to stage and great fun for the costume and lighting designer. Love how "ability" is interpreted and is all a matter of perspective. Cannot wait to see what happens when the daughter goes to university!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Inside Man

    Hunt weaves relatable characters and natural dialogue into a heart-breaking story that speeds by, sweeping us along with it. Some great details. I hope Nick picked up a "get out of jail free" free card for the moment when he is able to fully free himself.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Balance The Books

    Dr Who meets Fantasy Island (1970s) and order is restored to the universe! Feeney-Williams offers believable characters, simple staging and characters you can’t help but root for—even Oscar, who is going to learn the hard way, the railway!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Starting Small - Monologue

    I was fortunate to catch the Back Porch online workshop of this well-crafted monologue; good emotional range for an actor and a beautiful cyclical structure without a sense of entrapment—wholly freeing. Bravo.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Under a Clockwork Moon

    An atmospheric monologue which welds together both the glory and grit of Glasgow; a maelstrom of past and present told in a realistic yet poetic voice.

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Unjust Sound of Unseen Waves

    I’ve always had a soft spot for the Minotaur so this was a fun read. Illusion/reality in a Plato's cave-like setting, indifference to virgin only sacrifice, an Escher-like labyrinth with moving staircases, gnawing insecurity and insatiable hunger, and sirens/harpies. What more do you need? Sickles weaves ancient greek mythology into his own kind-hearted fantasy of epic proportions.

  • Nora Louise Syran: COMIN' ALIVE AT 35

    Every Flora in this world needs a Ruthie to act as their catalyst for change. Lermond does it again: colorful characters (I adore the Granny holding her own in the corner...) and a believable world brought magnificently to life in this short and sweet monologue.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Nubs

    Happy to have caught the Back Porch Theatre presentation of Nubs. Words sometimes cannot convey "the terrible" we humans go through --during the pandemic and always; life is often not easy. But this short play by DC Cathro has conveyed the essential in life. Sometimes we just need to focus on the positive. No matter how small and "insignificant". Bravo !

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Ebenezer Effect

    A lovely new take on the most Christmas of classics inspiring us all to practice kindness and generosity every day. Hunt has crafted a lovely holiday short complete with Christmas presents, portly poulterers and parlour games. Bravo!
