    I had great fun producing this play for audio drama podcast Theatrical Shenanigans and its a play that just gives and gives. You have an in depth look at the industry of wrestling, both past and present and even if you're not a wrestling fan you can understand the turmoil of the fate Hollis has had inflicted on him and the choice he now has to make. It gives you tension, moments of heartache and moments that make you laugh out loud. It was a joy to produce and I think would be a joy to see!

    I had the honour of producing this play as an audio drama and honestly its a wonderful piece which has a emotional state and has wonderful comparisons sprinkled throughout regarding the connection between the care of plants and the breakdown of a relationship. Arianna has given a play that offers so much in the way of emotion and encased in a relationship that feels so real. Its a play that will hit an audience hard in the best way and still leave them talking about it afterwards!

    In a world where certain types constantly love to lecture others on the way they live their lives or that they are not working hard enough it was so wonderful to see the character personified so brilliantly in this funny piece and then watch him get taken down a peg or two. The rapid back and forth between Kenneth and Joe feels wonderfully real and the fact that Lisa has built such incredible tension/emotion from simply waiting for a drs appointment is brilliant. Audiences will love it!

    I've produced multiple segments of this piece as part of Theatrical Shenanigans and they all share wonderfully real characters having to deal with the complexity that is loss in different ways. In each case though the conversations make you smile, feel emotional and make you think about loss in equal measure. The collection as a whole has taken an interesting new approach to death and literally proves everyone deals with it different ways but here, each way is portrayed brilliantly!

    I had to put this script down and walk away twice! That's how hard the emotive conversation between these two sisters pulls at the heart strings! Loss is a strange phenomenon dealt with in many different ways and when that relationship was frayed it makes things all the more difficult. That is the complex topic/relationship Bob has explored in a wonderfully delicate way here. Personally I think performed live there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house!

    Chris has done the utterly incredible, he's brought the consideration of philosophy and its connection into grief into a conversation about making pasta! The emotional torment these characters are going through following their loss of mother and wife feels so real and like most of Chris's plays you have moments of raw emotion and some where you can't help but smile. It gives two performers the chance to play wonderful characters who are dealing with grief in their own unique way.

    The word play wrapped in the in the brilliantly chaotic world created here makes this play such a joy to read. A wonderfully witty back and forth from the word go this play provides actors with wonderful characters to perform and I'm sure will have an audience giggling pretty much from the start! I had the fun of producing this piece as an audio play, but I know it would make a brilliant live show! - https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/e/episode-2-munday-tuesday-fr…

  • Rachel Feeny-Williams: Juliet's Autopsy (a 10-minute play) by Tracy Best

    As someone who was also frustrated by the ending of Romeo and Juliet this play was wonderfully refreshing and offered a brilliant alternative perspective to the story. Its wonderfully funny and offers a great array of characters. It was great fun to produce for Theatrical Shenanigans but I also recommend it to anyone looking for a play easy to produced but offers loads in the way of dialogue and storyline!

    This play takes celebrity infatuation and bombshell level secrets to a whole new level. I loved this play because you as the audience, at a certain point, become ahead of one of the characters in what they know (or do they know?) Its a play that provides wonderfully funny moments but also provides fabulous tension while you wait to find out what will be revealed, who actually knows what and if what happens behind stage doors really stays behind stage doors! A wonderful back and forth!

    I've always believe theatre is a passion that can last a life time but it is also one that can kick you when you're down. That idea is one that Donald has explored beautifully in this piece as we are introduced to two characters who, on paper couldn't be more different but as we learn more about them we have the great joy of peeling back the layers of backstory and subtext framed by their experiences. Its a wonderful play and offers great roles for younger and older actors alike!
