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.

"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.

This is a "wow" from me. It's got everything a monologue should have and pulls no punches about the despair and rage and frustration and grief that is as much a part a teen's life experience as anyone else's. Great idea executed with economy and power. Like a perfect dive.

The great fun of the piece is trying to figure out what is true and what is wishful thinking and what is actual triumph over the dependency of the past - all of which gives the actor and audience a journey of shared discovery. (I'm still loving the observation that getting married is a "socially accepted reason for needing someone.") !!

This ten minute physical comedy piece is "made to be played" just like the various musical reproduction technologies embodied were. Very imaginative, original and thought provoking, too - and all at the speed of sound!

A delight from start to finish - a theatrical cavalcade compressed into ten minutes to tell a "real life" episode in Ginger Roger's infancy with panache, suspense and energy. Leaves you wanting more.

An intriguing and believable glimpse into a creative woman's courageous attempts to
live an artistic life with integrity at the turn of the last century. Lily's current lover is a painter
who turns out to be as cruel, selfish and insecure as her previous liaison, but this time she succeeds
in moving on - alone, and all the stronger for it.

As much a poem as a monologue, heartfelt writing with brilliant imagery ( eg: In the sea of his driveway, a little buoy of cookies). Not just for 'Covid time', but for always, because it's all about Time, and our perception of it. Great stuff.

Lucky, a woman who defies convention explores the psyches and sensitivities of two "ordinary" middle aged brothers each of whom has hidden depths and repressed romanticism. Some beautiful writing and ideas lead the audience to an unexpected and sympathetic conclusion.

A lovely, loving tribute to family. A traditional Mum, a more open minded Dad have just attended one of those never to be repeated life evens that always galvanize opinions and emotions. Seen from their respective points of view we learn about the wedding of their daughter, the bride, who has not just shown her independence, she's shown just how much she honours and cares about her parents, too.
