  • Nora Louise Syran: Forgotten

    A fun fast-paced romp! Love the premise. Writers know very well how characters tend to take over with sometimes hilarious and sometimes disastrous results! This short play achieves both. No "long, play, thingy" here!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Vinterlys

    Wow! Totally not what I expected when I read the title, which is a good thing. While for a Norwegian, Vinterlys brings such a sense of warmth and yes, angelic comfort, this play brings anything but. The soft comfort of winter light is eaten up...to say more would spoil it! A quick-paced read which leaves more questions than gives answers but that's the fun!

  • Nora Louise Syran: ALONE, ALONE, ALONE, ALONE, ALONE [A 1-MINUTE PLAY]

    Martin captures the universality of suffering and the struggle to call for help just brilliantly in this short one minute near-tableau of torment where words just do not suffice except to office solace. The ending line rhythmically rocks us into the peace of knowing we're ultimately not alone. Well done.

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Waters of Her Noblest Rivers

    A timely, haunting piece. I enjoyed wondering when and where the threads of each story would weave themselves together. And they do, beautifully. "Words that bite" indeed.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Imaginary Friends

    Great fun! Short, sweet and far from simple; the tears are real! We all have to grow up... Bravo

  • Nora Louise Syran: Sit While Dancing

    A lovely homage to fabulous teachers everywhere, dancing or not. Many rich visual possibilities in this short play and the potential to expand it, and the dance as life metaphor.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Joyeux Noel: A Ten Minute Play

    Super! Laughed out loud. I could hear Emile perfectly! It's like Ingmar Bergman's Death has set up shop at the North Pole with hilarious results. A little moderation in holiday cheer is a very welcome thing.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Christmas Stories

    So sweet! Loved this snapshot of a tight-knit little family with some well-kept secrets and some lessons to share. A perfect play for the holidays.

  • Nora Louise Syran: TWELFTH DAY

    A lovely retelling of the Christ story set in a modern day busy city street. Clever characterizations of the Three Wise Men, snappy dialogue and an effortless tying together of the threads of a story which this play reminds us is worth telling over and over again for its humility and humanity. You won't look at the homeless this holiday without wishing you'd brought along a gift as well. Nice.

    Feeny-Williams serves up another quick-paced hilarious ("Run!") comedy full of clever one-liners in this her second play in the "My Chatter" collection. https://www.rfwscripts.co.uk/product-page/my-chatter-10-original-comedy….
