Never since children first learned to ask 'why' there been a more persistent, haunting and terrifying question as 'did you do the thing yet?' The script may be in its initial draft but I feel Chris has grasped the pressure how it can affect a person and used that to fuel this play. The movement between scenes to show how the question has infected Joe's life builds the tension wonderfully and I think not knowing where that question will come from next builds the tension more so. I think it would make a great Halloween thriller with one question!

Life is about meetings and partings and what affect they can have on a person. That is what Darrin has constructed here around a lovely old man who offers wisdom and wonderful moments of humour. The interactions between the characters feel so wonderfully real that, as the audience you can't help but be drawn into this world where these people meet and affect each other. Its a lovely piece that offers insight, emotional connections and moments that won't fail to make you smile. What more could an audience want!

Oooooo! An utterly fabulous form! That's what this play has! It makes you think the thing that is going to be 'sorted out' is multiple things right the way through and then just when you think you're sure, Neil turns round and twists it again! Coupling this with the touching relationship shared by the two sisters and you are presented with a gift of a play that will keep an audience emotionally engaged but curiously guessing at the same time. Wonderfully constructed and emotionally powerful!

Sometimes, hiding behind a 'happily ever after' is the best way to avoid a reality. That was a thought that occurred to me as I finished this powerful piece. Gia and Scarlett are two people with their own pasts as they reflect on it and their present. Its a piece that offers two powerful female roles and creates them a world of make believe but also shrouded in reality. Its a beautiful balance of real and raw emotion along with two characters facing intensely difficult and complicated issues which is sure to leave an audience knowing they've experienced something unique.

A wonderful play on a tongue twister married in with the memories of childhood. Samantha creates a world that is amazing (or maybe its not as amazing as I think it is! ;-) As with a few of Samantha's plays I have read, you are naturally drawn into the piece and its curious nature and you remain held enticed until the very end. Coupling this with making the tongue twist dialogue part of the piece and its a play that would be wonderfully entertaining to see or perform!

As someone who has been asked repeatedly "where do you ideas come from?" I absolutely loved the idea of a play to explore the creative process! Sam has created a play that draws the audience in from the word go and proceeds to then provide beautiful twists and turns leaving the audience desperate to know how the story unfolds (but which one?) The creation of a play is a creative process in itself but to create a world where the creative process and indeed creativity itself is explored in such a brilliant way, its creative brilliant and addictive!

At its heart this piece is one of fabulous adventure supported by vivid dialogue with a pace that allows it to delicately waltz in some places and deliver hard jabs in others. All of this while offering a lovely sized cast to make this more of a theatrical experience then something an audience will just observe. Its a fabulous experience of poetry and performance in one!

The devastation and tragedy that walks hand in hand with a shooting is evident here and that is what makes it a powerful piece that will hold an audience as they are forced to consider not only what has happened in this particular case but in the horribly long history of shooting incidents. Its a piece that will resonate because of the powerful way it is presented and the powerful subject it represents.

I do love a 'facing your mortality' piece and with the way Enid has portrayed Death (Reaper in this case) is brilliantly done. As an audience you are invited to observe as AJ faces his own mortality and his past but to what end? Its a wonderful re-imagining of the way death and judgement works that has some wonderfully funny moments. Would make a great piece for a Halloween evening!

This piece offers wonderful levels of laugh-out-loud humour with a slightly spooky and mysterious undertone. Adding all that with the sense of nostalgia I felt when thinking back to the last time I went into a video store and Morey has nailed this play brilliantly! I won't say too much to reveal the story but those who have a fondness for classic movies and can remember when video rentals were a prominent part of their lives will relate to this play as well as be thoroughly entertained. Another wonderful piece in Morey's collection!
