  • Bottom of the Order
    9 Jul. 2020
    A perfectly observed, absolutely believable, hair-raising recreation of the control and manipulation of a teen by his bullying father. Insightful and realistic and complete in itself, it's also open-ended, leaving us imagining all sorts of additional past abuses, as well as wondering what the future will hold for the currently absent mother.

    Most ten minute plays don't deliver full characterizations, or layers, or complexity, or even proper "big" themes very well - but this one does all four brilliantly, proving just what can be done in such a short piece. If it's "moments" that push and propel our feelings in theatre, they have to be well chosen. They are here, and they lead us on a dramatic,moving and satisfying journey.

    And evocative, intimate observation of moments in the past as full of love for family as for place. I had goosebumps feeling the wind tumbling the children and the puppy through the writer's mind.
  • Tap Test - (covid zoom play)
    8 Jul. 2020
    A great premise, delightfully delivered. And what fun to get all those
    twists in five minutes - a very timely smile!
  • These aren't meant to be worn (5 minute play)
    2 Jun. 2020
    An insightful piece about perception, relationships, and memory that creates and maintains a completely believable and original world of its own. Imaginative, poetic and satisfying.
  • LOSIN' IT
    2 Jun. 2020
    An introspective and charming piece that warmly captures the personality of the speaker, would play like a dream and leave a smile on the audience's face.
  • THE COUPON
    2 Jun. 2020
    A fresh and original idea, perfectly constructed. It delights as it builds to a
    a clever ending, with tons of opportunity for actors to create likeable, zany characters along the way.
  • Lesson #7: Past Participants (a one minute play)
    1 Jun. 2020
    Who said language drills have to be routine and repetitive? What if the lesson becomes an unexpected class in jealousy and revenge?
  • A Case Of Anxiety (a ten minute play)
    1 Jun. 2020
    A fast-paced pastiche which is a complete delight, guaranteed to give the audience a serious case of giggles and guffaws from the very first page.
  • Invisible
    1 Jun. 2020
    "What's more important than stories?" asks the youngest version of the main character, as they compare the stories that have shaped them, and make up their life. The concept is imaginative and moving -
    with revelations and ultimately decisions that are just a little bit heartbreaking.
