  • Inhale and Exhale
    9 Mar. 2024
    We all go through horrible times in our lives and its easy to just sit and dwell in the miserable place that cheating arsehole boyfriends can cause, but sometimes we need a bit of extra help to lift us away from that place. That's the beautiful and heartwarming moment Amy has created here. Intertwined with moments of dry humour and raw emotion you get that wonderful moment of human connection. Angel Dan really wants to help Jackie but the question is, is Jackie ready to help herself? My advice to you, read it to find out!
  • IRL
    9 Mar. 2024
    The world of Social Media has changed so much about how we interact with people and how we deal with people who don't share the same opinions as us. It's easy to just press a button and cut a person out of your 'internet life' but what happens when that decision comes back to haunt you, face to face? That's the wonderfully interesting scenario John has put Melanie and Jennifer in as they debate their social media behaviour and how it has affected their friendship. It's a fabulous short play that offers insight and great moments of humour!
  • It's Really Very Simple
    9 Mar. 2024
    It would be very easy to get offended by the title of Jack's play because, as any playwright will tell you, the act of writing a play is NOT simple at all! However, it would be impossible to stay mad as you observe the very familiar sight of a writer suffering with writer's block and doing all they can to try and overcome it. Its a wonderfully insightful and funny glimpse into the creative process! Its brilliantly creative and offers the audience a snapshot into the world of what it's like to write.
  • I Don't Care
    9 Mar. 2024
    Honestly, as someone who has worked in customer support for many years and dealt with customers who are being heinous for reasons a lot less important than those here, I fully get Mary-Beth's desire to say 'I don't care' because sometimes, in the depths of frustration, we don't! That's the amazingly high-tension situation that Joe has presented and done such an amazing job of making you as the audience feel just as frustrated as the customer or maybe, like me you do relate to the employee. Either way, there is an audience out there who can't relate, utterly fabulous!
  • How to Swindle a Nun, Extort a Museum and Save a Masterpiece from Oblivion
    8 Mar. 2024
    This wonderful example of humourous and witty chaos offers exactly what the title says it will, and so much more! Its a brilliant journey that twists and turns in an expert fashion and keeps the audience hooked from the word go. Put simply, its a play that takes you on a fabulous journey and offers a fabulous chance for performers and audiences to be a part of something special!
  • Hearts of Brothers' Temper
    8 Mar. 2024
    I always love a play that educates and brings the stories of history to life, mainly because it gives the piece a new dimension of 'realism'. Not that I needed any help with that here at all! The wonderful dialogue between threse three brothers as they struggle to work together creatively travells along at a brilliant pace, drawing the audience in and wanting to see how these moments affected history before wrapping it up and answering those all important questions, wonderfully done!
  • How About Them Dodgers
    8 Mar. 2024
    So, when I saw the title was 'oh no, a sports play. I know NOTHING about sports' but then...I was amply rewarded (and then some) with an amazing commentry on a society that has allowed the banning of certain books, plays and other entertianment to run rampant. Its a very poignant story given how things are at the moment and is a play that is sure to inspire debate and make people sit up and listen to how dangerous 'banning' can be. As is often the case, Philip Middleton Williams has provided a piece of stage power!
  • Hitchers
    8 Mar. 2024
    Oh my god Kate you are a bad person, in the best possible way! By that I mean that this wonderfully witty back and forth between this pair of unlikely travellers had me giggling all the way through. It was just an amazing example of domedic timing, coupled with a story that just keeps on giving!
  • Hidden Seashells: A Yoga Adventure
    8 Mar. 2024
    Understanding and being able to process your emotions is hard enough as an adult. In this wonderfully intrieguing piece, Janine takes that problomatic scenario and brings it into the life of a young girl. What you, as the audience are provided with as a result is a powerful and entertaining piece that explores feelings, why we feel those feelings, how we feel those feelings and how we feel when we don't want to feel those feelings any more. Its a fascinatingly constructed story that is sure to reach both children and adults alike.
  • Gingerbread
    7 Mar. 2024
    "You make choices. They don’t make you." To me this was the pinnacle at the centre of this tale. Vinny has a dream of being with the woman he loves, Cupcake has a dream of being a dancer and Luanne sits in the middle of it all. Its a wonderfully emotionally motivated piece that explores the idea of dreams, disappointment and how giving up can sometimes seem like the only thing to do. Any of the three characters would be amazing to play and the raw emotion is something any audience will relate to.
