Standing down a true evil in society, especially when that person is your father takes guts! That's what Evan shows in spades here. Stephen's play shows us as the audience that we don't have to stand aside and let the loud and the arrogant dictate our lives, as Josaih tries to do. Its a play that shows a brutal snapshot of how politics and religion can completely obliterate relationships. It offers power and perspective in equal measure, which I think in our society, would proove very effective. If you're looking for a piece to have an affect, this is it!

The background world of theatre is not one a lot of people understand when they don't have hands on experience, that is what Lisa has presented here in such an amazing way. You, as the audience have the great fun of witnessing the chaotic world behind the curtain. I loved this play from start to finish, especially the ending, which you need to read to enjoy!

The way Liz draws the audience into the stories of Cora, Annie and Kate with ease is utterly fascinating. When a piece jumps between times there is sometimes the risk of confusion or pull of focus from the audience but in this case you are captivated by each story as you move from one to the other. Offers a fabulous chance for 3 performers to play powerful and interesting female roles.

What would happen if Dr Seuss took on the world of unemployment, adult friendships and drugs? Well if you've never asked that question I have provided you with an answer. Its this wonderfully funny and brilliantly constructed piece, all in rhyming couplets! Creating anything in rhyme is always complex so the fact that Alexander has not only done it but made it so entertaining to read is a sign that it is more than deserving of a production, see if yourself and enjoy!

Shakespeare once said 'if music be the food of love, play on', well in this case Vidalia has used music as one of the many fabulous tools in her arsenal to bring this incredible play to life. Centred around characters trying to "afford some creative fuel" I love the fact that this play explores the dark and the controversial with no appologies. If you're looking for honest theatre that is sure to entertain an audience as well as giving performers a chance to play some powerful characters, all set to the sound of punk music, then this is for you!

"We live only as long as the last person who remembers us." My god! Such a powerful sentiment to go with a wonderfully heart-wrenching and emotional script. We often think our lives begin when we're born and end when when we die but through this touching interaction Robert shows that's not the case. It offers an amazing chance for female performers to play fabulous characters and for audiences to be drawn in to an emotional reunion.

To take the serious issue of the promotion of abstinence amongst teenagers and make it the central topic of a play is interesting in itself. But to then set that issue against the backdrop of a high school and sew it all together using a Greek myth and rhyming dialogue is truly genius! Its a truly new way of informing and entertaining that both performers and audiences will enjoy immensely.

An interesting take on modern issues and while they present an fascinating take on what is a modern issue, to use Shakespearean names and language in one (and I won't tell you which one) gives it an interesting twist. These three plays offer the audience a spark to debate as well as an interesting snapshot on how our society approaches these serious issues. All put together in an interesting way that will entertain, inform and spark debate.

In a world dominated by technology and social media, its always interesting to see what people will do next online and Bailey has introduced a very interesting new show/group. This interesting group of characters bring to life the very real concerns for exploitation, sexual abuse and the danger the chat rooms/dating sites can pose to young people. Its a fascinating modern piece that presents a unique perspective of wha the world on the internet can be like, for predators and those trying to stop them!

This play is adictive from the word go! Dana presents us with a group of students in higher education with one in particular having to try and deal with something that's happened, although what the something is isn't clear in the first instant, and that's what makes this an incredible piece. You, as a reader, and certainly as an audience member I'd imagine, you will NEED to know what events have we not seen to make the characters behave this way. Intertwining this fascinating and emotional story with gorgeous poetic language is just genius, All it needs is a production!
