This is a brilliantly captured image of the complicated nature of siblings and high school. While reading the piece I was able to cast my mind back to all those feelings of awkwardness that are linked with being at high school. In that, the writer has created a wonderful piece that a lot of audiences (both old and young) can relate to.

Well I'm not letting my boyfriend shave his beard! This brilliantly written funny piece starts with the audience questioning but as more is explained and revealed you can't help but laugh at the wonderful characters and the snappy back and forth dialogue between them. The writer has taken the fairly simple act of shaving a beard and escalated it to wonderfully funny heights. Brilliant!

A lovely captivating piece with a concept I truly have never thought of before. The characterisation of animals/insects has been used in theatre before but the creation of Florence the firefly is truly inspirational. It would make a brilliantly visual piece supported by very well constructed dialogue.

YES! That is what I wanted to shout when I finished reading this piece. Having so much experience of the "Luke's" of the world I was so pleased for the characters when they finally did what they did (no spoilers). All of them are brilliantly written. You want to cheer on the characters as the witty dialogue takes you through this very relatable scene to a wonderfully written ending. No way an audience couldn't relate to this. Very well done!

We read this play at one of our weekly play readings and I can remember that it inspired a great deal of conversation. This is a cleverly written piece with comedic splashes. Its very well put together and is bound to inspire conversation about perspective. Very well done.

Ok, so the title drew me to this piece right from the start. Sometimes a title can promise and the play doesn't deliver but in this case it couldn't be further from that. Taking an already comic sounding notion of death taking a holiday. the writer then proceeds to bowl you over with page after page of brilliantly funny dialogue. It would make a really clever and funny piece for a festival. You'll laugh yourself 'to death'!

If you are looking for a beautifully written piece about the complexity of family that will tug at your heart strings then you won't go far wrong with this piece. The writer not only creates two very believable characters, bursting with emotion but he also constructs their conversation wonderfully well. As I read it I could feel the emotions washing over me in the best possible way.

Right from the word go you are drawn into this piece by its beautifully described imagery. You can see yourself walking along side this man as he stumbles his way through this dark piece. I think the great thing about it is you could either have the mans journey narrated by someone else and 'show' it or just have it read by someone and the audience would be able to create it in their own mind. It captivates and that is what theatre should do.

While simplistic I believe this piece creates beautiful imagery. As a writer you often find yourself searching for an idea and I think the writer has captured this idea very well here. I can see it being a 'spectacle' piece that leaves you with a million ideas of your own. Very well done.

This is an intriguing piece of powerful theatre that says a lot about how we are all being observed by someone at some point. While there isn't much for the characters to say. I don't think this piece needs it as the physical motions when observed in performance would be powerful enough on their own.
