  • Buried by Audrey Webb
    1 Sep. 2020
    “ A beautifully moving piece about death and acceptance, which wisely steers clear of the maudlin and finds immense power in the mundane.
    ”
  • A Christmas Pickle by Uma Incrocci
    18 Aug. 2020
    “ A wonderful combination of magic and realism, finely balanced and used to great effect. A great addition to any holiday festival as an antidote to the treacle of the season. ”
  • The Improv Class by JOHN CONNON
    18 Aug. 2020
    “ Never saw the brilliant twist at the end coming, turning a funny short into something much more. Very well done. ”
  • THE DRAPER by Fengar Gael
    10 Aug. 2020
    “ Brainy and delightful, this play weaves together quantum physics, music, poetry, lush fabrics from every corner of the world, and a supremely pleasing oddness, underlaid by the sinister facts of an ever-watching Big Brother and imminent death was wonderful. Visually, it will be spectacular when fully realized. I love plays with a supernatural/magical realism/realism-plus aspect to them. I never before thought of Einsteinian physics being another potential form of that, but turns out it is. Oh, and that ending: (Spoiler Alert) the moth-draped naked woman playing her compositions to the universe will long stay with me. ”
  • No Regrets by John Minigan
    6 Aug. 2020
    “ A wonderfully structured comedy that teaches us about one character so thoroughly in the first half (a series of phone messages that she leaves) that we can fill in her missing dialogue in the second half, with hilarious results. Brilliant! ”
  • A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SLAM, a 10-minute LGBTQ+ comedy in modern language by Arianna Rose
    3 Aug. 2020
    “ A clever take on a classic cleverly told. Funny and fun, but also substantive at the same time. Well worth a read or a production! ”
  • Talking Points by Steven Hayet
    28 Jul. 2020
    “ Such a funny premise, the kind that makes you wish you had thought of it, and perfect execution. I'd love to see a production. ”
  • No Comment by Marilyn Anne Campbell
    10 Jul. 2020
    “ An all too true consideration of the impact of social media on our ability to think, feel and analyze. All in one minute. ”
  • Stravaiging by David Patton
    10 Jul. 2020
    “ A play with a sad beauty that builds and builds; a lovely reflection of how a place can profoundly evoke both past and present at once. ”
  • The Third Person by Dan Borengasser
    30 Jun. 2020
    “ A great idea well-executed as a noir narrator comes to life and does more than just tell a story. Very funny. ”
