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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Great dialogue. Great pace. Great concept.

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.

A lovely play with touching, economic dialogue that perfectly captures the intoxicating tug of wanting to be touched by genius and wanting to be loved for oneself alone. A very perceptive exploration of the equal selfishness of the loved and the lover, while motherlove may be the only bond that goes on and on.

We were delighted to produce 'The Rental' in Cliffhanger's last round of Mixed Doubles where it won "audience favourite." Yes, it's brilliantly written and witty and can be played just for laughs, of which they are heaps, but the best thing about the play is that it is so well put together it can also be played with great sincerity, thoughtfully, and is still double-you-up -funny, while truly tugging at your heartstrings.
