  • Nora Louise Syran: Night Witch

    Reading just the extract of this play was riveting. Sapio keeps it moving along at a clip, punctuating the female pilot's story with other Night Witches' stories, photographs and demonstrations --all with a wry humor that will draw audiences in. Bravo.

  • Nora Louise Syran: HisStory

    This play seems to start where the disturbing ending of Lorca's Blood Wedding leaves off: all women, only women."It’s so wrong." The dark dystopian atmosphere of this riveting piece is punctuated throughout by the humorous one liners of Fluffy (!) Brava.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Beast

    A costume/make up designer would have a field day with this short piece especially if the male actor plays all three roles. "I have a beautiful singing voice, and I know how to change a tire." Sold! Lesson learned. The unseen Belle character probably doesn't know how to change a tire! A super premise, well executed. Brava!

  • Nora Louise Syran: The People You Meet in Heaven

    I love this the total lack of pretense to this piece. Honest, hysterical, fun.

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Curious Tale of Marston Moore's Untimely Demise

    What a delightful time they'll have through those pearly gates. We all miss those who come over that Rainbow Bridge but it's nice to know they'll receive such a warm choclatey welcome. Plumridge introduces us to some truly lovely characters. Great comic pace, hysterical details and a nice cosy ending, what more do you want from a I've died and gone to heaven story.

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Last Spin Cycle

    The audience will be caught up in this short play's darkly comic cycle (pun intended). DeFrates creates a sense of timelessness, nothingness and yet everythingness. It's absurd and realistic all at once. A snapshot of the times that have been, times that are and a future that might very well be. Some great imagery.
    "CARAWAY. It is the beach. A beautiful, tropical island. Feel the warmth? Smell the soft breeze?...
    (The two stop to observe the humidity of the room [...] They sniff the air, catching whiffs of laundry detergent)..." Brava!

  • Nora Louise Syran: On Queue

    Loved this! If you love Beckett --and even if you don't know who that is--read this. I laughed out loud reading it. It would be even better produced.

    "Two guys waiting… for Godot. But he doesn’t show up.
    MAN 2. And then what happens?
    MAN 1. Nothing really.
    MAN 2. Sounds interesting."
    It IS!

  • Nora Louise Syran: 12, ANGRY, MEAN

    Great fun! I was reading it and hoping for some good parental advice. I got some playwriting tips instead :)

  • Nora Louise Syran: the isle is full of noises

    This play is full of atmosphere, longing and the strength of family bonds. Well done.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Savannah Ghost Tour: The Musical

    Who doesn't love a good ghost story!? This musical draws you in. Fun dialogue, characters and ghost stories galore. Loved the atmosphere of Savannah throughout and could see this as a walking tour play or staged in the haunted theatre of Savannah itself...or even a film. The possibilities are endless.
