  • Christine Foster: GIRL BEFORE A MIRROR by Martha Patterson
    “

    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.

  • Christine Foster: The Rental (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    “

    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.

  • Christine Foster: Scripted (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine

    The raft of productions Scripted has had is recommendation in itself of course, but this truly is a ten minute relationship comedy for everyone. No stereotypes, just funny, quirky, thoughtful, real people whom you like and feel for in a short play that's actually about something. And like all of Mr. Levine's work, it's flawlessly constructed, tight and well-paced. (and it won audience favourite when we produced it.)

  • Christine Foster: ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND SCIENCE, a 10m comedy by CJ Ehrlich
    “

    This sharp, original, well paced and very funny satirical piece really took off with our audience. The hoots of recognition and appreciation at the escalating competition between the fathers was terrific fun. The most frequent comment after the show was "OMG, that's so funny...and so true!"
