  • November: A Ten-Minute Play
    14 Mar. 2024
    Holidays with families are complicated and in this case frustrating. James has created a character you can't help but feel sorry for as his family argue about who said what to who, what it meant and why its an affront to their very being. This play offers a wonderful balance of drama and comedy (both verbal and physical) as the quick witted back and forth arguments as well as the slamming of doors offers the audience a brilliantly created snapshot of what holiday with the family can be like, all with poor Kevin in the middle!
  • MIRACLE LAKE
    13 Mar. 2024
    Families are complicated, everyone knows this and Susan has very much created a complicated family in the Langdon's. I don't want to reveal too much but, as an audience, you are drawn into the lives of this family, and their highs and lows that occur in both the past and present. Coupled with the enticing dialogue and story an audience will obsess over you also have some fascinating imagery throughout. This family and their story need to be brought to life!
  • Moving Day
    13 Mar. 2024
    Despite the heartbreaking subject at its centre, there are moments of tenderness in this emotion-provoking play that explores the relationship between mother and son as well as the subject of loss and family. Its a piece that's sure to draw a tear or two as you discover the truth about Patrick. The two very different characters are brought to life in a wonderful way and their interaction is sure to invoke emotions in the audience and bring forth a tear or two. Its as beautiful as it is heartwrenching.
  • Mr Bennet's Bride
    13 Mar. 2024
    I have always been a fan of reimaginings of classic characters and "Mr Bennet's Bride" is a fabulous example. Emma has provided a wonderful tale of humour emotion and the exploration of complex character relationships. This play offers something to all kinds of audiences, from those who love classic Austen to those who love a play loaded with fresh perspective! It's a play that offers a cast of various ages and gives performance a wonderful chance to play some enchanting characters.
  • My Hired Hand
    13 Mar. 2024
    In a world where technology is often used to make things to destroy, it's such a pleasant relief to see it doing some good! Chris has created a wonderfully touching monologue that gives you a warm feeling as you get to be a part of this child's joy at his new hand. Wonderfully written and would be a great character for a young person.
  • Murder at the Orient Burlesque
    13 Mar. 2024
    An utterly fabulous take on the murder mystery genre! Carol introduces us to a wonderful collection of characters and once you start down this fabulous rabbit hole it's impossible to put it down! Simply put this is a play that NEEDS to be seen, which is the only way it can only be made better would be to see it brought to life. It offers so much in the way of entertainment and enticement it is sure to hold and audience captivated!
  • Let's Ban Hamlet
    12 Mar. 2024
    Something is terrifying about the fact that this play is set 'now' and the decisions being made and enforced by an educational facility sound like something that could be all too real. Maggie has created a theatrical powerhouse by introducing an audience to this group of teens and their struggles before they take a stand against said struggles. It's a play that offers wonderful roles to young people as well as make an audience consider just how dangerous 'enforcing' certain kinds of rules can be to the individual and what kind of path it can lead society down.
  • L'Istesso Tempo
    12 Mar. 2024
    A fascinating exploration of how the same words can mean so many different things depending on the situation and who you share them with. That's the wonderfully unique scenario Chris has created here as Zena endures a night of three-speed dates with different reactions and results. It would make a fabulously funny piece for a festival and offers a great opportunity for playing characters who are so very different, despite part of the words being all the same.
  • Lab Rats
    12 Mar. 2024
    A perfect example of relationships growing from the strangest of places. That's what Patrick gives us here, two wonderful characters that you get to watch grow and form a bond as they struggle through the difficulties and hardships of being a test subject. The medical track and the personal track of their relationship move along at a wonderful balance with characters so so wonderfully created that you can't not feel invested in them. For performers, audiences and directors this would be a dream of a production to be involved in!
  • Long Abandoned
    12 Mar. 2024
    This is a fabulous ghost story with a twist! Waverly and Alex are two people who've found themselves in the same church but for very different reasons. As the audience you are invited on an emotional roller coaster as you discover more about their past and how it affects the present scene. Its a tension fuelled and emotional thriller that will keep you guessing to the point where you NEED to know what happens next! So....go and find out!
