  • Christine Foster: ELLERY

    Entertaining and clever with strong (intergenerational) parts for women - crafted and plotted with skill, suspense, irony, and great dialogue. And it's about the supernatural and life and death and philosophy and relationships and all sorts of things that matter.

  • Christine Foster: Reprise

    Sad and thoughtful, with overtones and hints at some of the darker places the current COVID events and current and future controls could yet take us. And what better place to consider dreams, memories and the ghosts of what might have been than in a shuttered theatre?

  • Christine Foster: Taking the A Train, a 10-minute play

    The suspense and dialogue are first rate, and believable, and the characters are so well drawn that you feel there is real growth from all of them as they live through a series of events that keeps the tension going to the end.

  • Christine Foster: On the 38th Kiss, I Explode

    Terrific and very original idea that's lots of fun, full of delightful dialogue and comic suspense.

  • Christine Foster: CAROLINE'S MIND

    A deceptively simple, poetic murmur of a monologue. And heartbreaking.

  • Christine Foster: Sarai's Knife

    This fascinating and challenging play explores the personal and social tensions in politically sensitive students and teachers in an art college, who are forced to come up against their own histories, as well as ever relevant racial and moral issues. Satisfying, pertinent and up to date.

  • Christine Foster: INTO THE CITY (a 10 minute comedy)

    The almost impossibly nosy and interfering mother is a great character, likeable and funny both. The play zips along with several surprises, insisting on a sunny outlook...all in the middle of a magically synchronistic storm.

  • Christine Foster: When I Fall in Love, It Will Be..., a 10-minute play

    Compassionate, believable and still surprising with a great twist. Makes you think and smile, as well being a much needed piece for older actors.

  • Christine Foster: Imagine That

    Great dialogue. Great pace. Great concept.

  • Christine Foster: THE SPRINGVALE ARMADILLO

    This is the sympathetic and fascinating saga of someone whose life has been brutally hijacked in the first bloom of youth. The play matters because this is a trap which can still be sprung on the unprepared or unlucky to this day - whether as a result of prejudice, injustice or, as in this case, misdiagnosis. A courageous elderly woman's memories are re-awakened by a young reporter with a secret grief of his own in what quickly becomes a many faceted tale that reaffirms the greater virtues of grace and forgiveness.
