For me this was a fascinating piece of discovery surrounding the history of the characters which the writer guides you through in an eloquent way. In addition to this you have a complex love story at the centre and, coupling the two together you are presented with an emotionally charged piece that does open your eyes to the horrors that humans inflict on each other. The final line ("Look at me, I am human. Why is that not enough?") is one that will resonate with me, as I suspect it would for an audience.

For me this piece presents the very definition of 'beautifully tragic'. Set in one of the most beautiful places on earth Nora creates a wonderful moment of love between two people, or is it just one? Its a play that won't fail to make you smile at the lovely moment you are presented with but at the same time cry at the thought of the moment ending. That's the idea that has been captured here, appreciating those moments because, unlike Helen, you only have them once. Its easy to see the play in your mind as you read, beautifully done.

I've read many of Asher's monologues and I am always astounded at how real he makes each and every character feel and this is a prime example of that. You feel for Aaron, a man down on his luck and trying simply to find somewhere to stay but Asher couples this heartbreaking tale with an important message about beliefs and what kind of institutions should be able to 'force' those beliefs in exchange for, what is simply a warm place to sleep. Its a piece I felt significantly about by the end and is sure to be a powerful performance!

I have found a new humorous love for AA (Adventurers Anonymous)! Sarah has taken the known idea of addicts gathering for a meeting and wonderfully twisted it on its head! What you are left with is a brilliantly witty conversation about the idea of adventure, what it entails, and what the results can mean. I won't say too much more but it would make a brilliant play for young people or adults alike. For me, it was wonderfully witty and I have to say I walked away having learned something new about the world of adventure!

I listened to this on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast and its utterly stunning! The images created by the wonderful dialogue and production of this piece will stay with me, as I imagine it would for any audience. Its a play that holds you delicately in some places and grips hard in others. My heartiest congratulations to Jonathan for this wonderful play and brilliant production!

I couldn't help but have a seething hatred towards Valerie with her 'policy and procedures' attitude, that is how real John has made the two characters in this incredibly powerful piece. The idea that two people have to debate what happened and how Sandra acted speaks volumes of our society. If you are looking for a powerful production that offers an emotional rollercoaster following what is a terrifying event in anyone's life then this is the piece for you and it offers a wonderful opportunity for two female performers to play characters that are amazingly real and brilliantly constructed.

I had to read this piece twice to fully absorb it and I think that's what will make it fascinating to an audience. It offers the audience the chance to observe the human mind and how it operates as well as 'fly on the wall' moments of human interaction. As these characters guide you through a story that flits and flows with wonderful pace, you will question and you will discover and by the end, in my opinion, you will know you've seen a great piece of theatre.

On finishing this piece I had to sit back and take a breath! Don has done it again by creating a highly charged emotional scene in which Timothy stands face to face with his abuser after many years. Their conversation intertwines through the story beautifully and draws you in wanting to know more and how it ends. It offers a wonderful opportunity for two male performers to bring these incredibly charged and emotional characters to life and is guaranteed to leave the audience feeling. A wonderfully dark and powerful piece.

What starts with a perfectly normal phone conversation between Samantha and her mother is escalated by the introduction of a strange unknown voice. From there the tension escalates beautifully as this unknown caller continue to invade Sam's evening, driving her further into confusion and despair, which the audience join her for. Its a wonderfully tense piece that keeps the audience guessing and offers a wonderful performance opportunity for the actress playing Samantha.

The world of professional cookery has always been a little cut throat and that's the tradition Chris continues here. This piece is a great back and forth between a paranoid (or is she?) chef and her well meaning employee. Its a play where you want to know more about what is going on in this kitchen!
