I had the great privilege of producing this play for "Theatrical Shenanigans" and honestly I had a WONDERFUL time! Mark has created a fabulously funny and chaotic world in 11 pages that takes the normally mundane experience of a job interview and sprinkled it with the terrifying madness of a zombie apocalypse. Its a producers dream for both audio and live and if you've not read it then please do, then laugh, A LOT!

David's play was one I had the privilege of producing for Theatrical Shenanigans and its a wonderful example of what happens when two generations come together in a positive way despite the negative circumstances in their life. The two central characters are wonderfully real people that you can see performing this scene in any country and give an audience a lovely positive lift at the end. If that wasn't enough you are also privileged with sprinkles of great funny moments! A true joy to produce!

Such a fabulous play on words that left me giggling at the end. Its a great example of how much a one minute play can offer. As always Jacquie offers a fabulous scenario that is sure to tickle the funny bone. That with cookies thrown in, what more could you ask for?

So this play offered two unique feelings for me. Firstly I was overcome with a desire to want to indulge in #vanlife myself and secondly it offers a powerful tableau in a short space of time. Deb has such a wonderful gift to give a lot in her short plays and this is another wonderful example of that!

Right from the intros to these characters I was enjoying a giggle! From there this fabulous gift of a play just keeps on giving (as so many of Jacquie's plays do!) The play offers several wonderfully written characters to perform and a fabulously funny story to bring to life! Its a directors dream, an audiences wonder and a performers joy to be involved in! If you are looking for something to celebrate the roles of women and have fun while doing so this is the play for you!

I got to the end of this piece out of breath! Chris has created brilliant back and forth with two fascinating characters! As the audience we are part of the journey as Michael discovers more about Bradley, his actions and what has led him to this point. Its a wonderful tension roller coaster that offers two powerful roles to perform and a piece that offers the audience an analysis about the whys, hows and whats that lead to certain harrowing events. So powerful in dialogue and characters alike!

Well now I want to know more! In four pages Vivika does a wonderful job of drawing you into this story and by the end you are dying to know where its going and what will occur. I also thought it would make a prime example of a scene for school kids to read because there's a lot to discuss and discover! A fabulous short piece.

The wonderful idea behind how Nils has chosen to fill his retirement had me giggling from the moment I first read this piece. The play then keeps on giving as you are introduced to his wife Cara, who despairs of his new hobby (or does she?) and their long suffering son. We are gifted with a wonderfully funny back and forth between the three before finally being presented with a fabulous funny ending! Fab to produce! - https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/e/s04-e03-if-you-say-so-brent…

The concept of exploring the 'what ifs' is something we all often think about and its easy to say your life could have been better if you did or didn't do something but Alli doesn't do that. She offers a wonderful balance on the perspective of motherhood and what it can mean to a person. The way in which the story is presented also keeps you guessing brilliantly!

This piece was one of the first I read but recently I've had the great joy of taking it on as a producer/director. Andrew's characters are wonderfully real and the conversation about their lives feels natural with wonderfully comedic moments thrown in. Its a piece that draws an audience in and is easy to produce because it was so well written. A lot of fun to produce! - https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/e/s04-e05-spin-cycle-catherin…
