  • Crusades by John Mabey
    7 Mar. 2021
    “ A moving and perceptive encounter between a mother and daughter, both of whom we instantly like and sympathize with. Even better, we're left with plenty of hope for them, despite their current pain, confusion, resentment and grief - which is just as it should be. ”
  • A Dave with Destiny by Ken Preuss
    7 Mar. 2021
    “ A warm and witty play that rolls forward, sideways and ultimately reverses in a genuinely quirky and unpredictable way. Huge fun, this a rom com satire will delight everyone, even those with "With no training in sign language whatsoever." (one of my favourite lines!) ”
  • A CHANCE by Paul Smith
    7 Mar. 2021
    “ "He always wanted a son" - these simple words are freighted with both grief and a complex desire for revenge. In this intriguing play the relationship of two strangers is so relaxed and natural it makes the twist a real cracker. I immediately went back and read it again to see how it's constructed and what I should and shouldn't have known at first pass. A total gem. ”
  • THE MURDER MYSTERY CLUB (from the MAD FOR MYSTERY Collection) by Vivian Lermond
    7 Mar. 2021
    “ The characters are strongly developed in this clever, quirky ten minute piece which could easily sustain a longer version. Well plotted, intriguing and good fun for audience and actors alike. ”

  • Eighty-Seven Keys (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    3 Mar. 2021
    “ Moving, poetic, heartfelt...such a spare, clear, strong evocation of a man I now feel like I knew. If the line from 'Vincent' "The world was never meant for one as beautiful as you" gives you goosebumps, this tribute will as well. Lovely. ”
  • Bronte's Mom by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    3 Mar. 2021
    “ A touching look at a couple grieving their childlessness while talking about their dog. The dialogue is spare, clean and true, covering a lot more ground than it seems to do on the surface and leading to a tender and hopeful resolution. ”
  • America's Sexiest Couple by Ken Levine
    21 Feb. 2021
    “ Delightfully funny and witty, this play gleefully mines all the nakedly honest and painful
    experiences of two once-successful middle-aged actors' hilariously inaccurate memories
    and equally hilariously accurate insecurities.
    Great dialogue, great characters, great lines, lots of satisfying and honest twists and turns. Loved it.

  • SEEDS by Scott Mullen
    16 Feb. 2021
    “ Mullen's gentle take on the possibility of parallel universes is so endearing, so hopeful, it had me blinking back tears. The dialogue flows seamlessly and the resolution is all we can, and do, wish for. A lovely piece. ”
  • Outpost by Scott Sickles
    16 Feb. 2021
    “ A taut and moving examination of love under the ultimate stress - survival. Sickles keeps the clock ticking in imaginative and realistic ways as the odds are stacked against the protagonists, and ultimately pulls off an uplifting resolution. Compelling and satisfying. ”
