    "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.
  • PANDORA SHAKES THINGS UP: A Myth Inverse
    16 Mar. 2024
    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!
  • OVER TIME: A ONE-PAGE ROMANTIC COMEDY
    15 Mar. 2024
    When you consider how complicated love and relationships are the fact the Adam has been able to replicate such key moments and invoke emotion from them in 1 page is nothing short of incredible. Read it, appreciated it and maybe bring it to life!
  • ONCE UPON A TIME AT PENGE WEST
    15 Mar. 2024
    I've seen this scene all too often in train stations across the country where that one moment of 'the wait' is interrupted by the announcement every traveller waits for, the arrival/information for their train. I can see the scene clearly in my mind's eye and the way Paul has created it, in a simplistic way, makes me want to know more about the people that make up the crowd. Using that this could easily be expanded out to a bigger play but the scene itself is a great commentary on what its like to travel.

    So problematic roommates are something a lot of audiences will be able to relate to when watching this wonderfully entertaining interaction between three roommates (one of whom you never see). The emotional and chaotic dialogue as the ranting continues is sure to have audiences laughing profusely out loud! It would make a lovely piece for a festival and is something anyone looking to have their funny bone tickled should read.

    Side bar - me personally, I think everyone needs an emotional support pig!

    Never have been so annoyed by a line of questioning! And by that I mean as a reader I found myself drawn in each time a line of questioning was started, hoping that one of them would make it to the end. Its a fascinating piece of theatre that focuses on human interaction and our reactions to those interactions. Then outside of the intrieguing nature of the play, its sure to see audiences debating in the pub afterwards regarding the reactions you see and question how youyourself may have reacted! A Fascinating piece to read and debate.
  • Hearing, Seeing, Knowing (A monologue for women)

    'Putting the person you love first'. It shouldn't be a complicated idea to grasp when you're in a relationship but you can hear from Jackie's tone in this powerful piece that she has reached the end of her tether with being treated like a second class citizen! Darrin explores relationships in a deep and meaningful way as well as looking at what happens when they go wrong and how it can affect people. You can feel Jackie's desperation and want nothing more than to give her a hug and tell her 'you deserve better', a wonderfully raw and emotional piece.
