Care of others vs Care of ones self, that is the incredibly intricate balance that Cassidy explores in this fascinating piece. Surrounding the piece are complex issues like self-identity and mental health but what stands out for me (and will for quite a few I think) is the centre of this piece, its characters. Characters that, as an audience, you see go through such emotional turmoil. You can't help but feel for them and that is what will hold an audience and why this piece needs to be seen, even if you do cry as a result.

"I mean, think about a world without art in it? What does that look like?" is one of the most fabulous lines I've read! A group of actors and their audience find themselves facing their own mortality and debating what will happen next, what they want to do and what they wish they did as well as numerous other conversations, you feel a privilege to witness the scene. Its tension fuelled with moments of humour, raw emotion, all set to the background imminent threat of nuclear war! Its a play you NEED to know what happens!

As playwrights we have all been where Caitlin's character is in this wonderfully insightful monologue. The world of being a writer is incredibly complex at the best of times, you throw a pandemic at that and it gets ten times more complex and Caitlin has explored this complexity brilliantly. I personally felt the sense of 'failure' in the speaker as she is drawn down into a pit of writers despair. It will be a fabulously powerful piece for an actress, and makes the book she's talking about intriguing!

Such a beautiful piece, despite the dark undercurrent of an accident that changed the lives of two young people. Hannah has created three wonderful characters here and given them a wonderful complex nature exploring the relationship between parent and child, friends and girlfriends, you would think its a lot to cover in 24 pages but Hannah succeeds beautifully.

We read this as part of our Sunday night play reading and its truly a wonderful 'girl power' piece. Its a brilliant commentary about the need for some people in our society to comment on things (when they really shouldn't). Three wonderful characters are seen in this wonderfully framed statement against society's judgements. You want to, as an audience member, be able to stand up and tell the co-worker "Its none of your damn business!". Its punchy, its powerful and its brilliantly written, another wonderful work Deb!

Rex is known for creating fabulous characters in his plays and this is another wonderful example of that. We had the great honour of reading it as part of our Sunday night play reading. Its a brilliant piece with wonderful pace and you can't help but smile.

Such an adorably wonderful play that we had the privilege to read as the Literary and Discourse Society. Its a great tale of young people and the tales that make up the greatest memories of their life. It was a privilege to read and another lovely example of David's work.

A truly beautifully empowering piece, Joe takes his audience on a tour through the lives of severally wonderfully created characters, each with a unique story to tell. You find yourself wanting to know more about them as the tension builds and the dark elements become more apparent and by the end, you do feel like you've travelled with them. Its a piece that will be experienced, not just seen.

Oooooo! A piece loaded with intrigue and has you asking questions from the very beginning. Joe has a wonderful way of building tension and holding an audience spellbound, dying to know more. Its a brilliantly unique premise with an ending I did not see coming! Brilliantly done!

Ok this is definitely a 'giggle from start to finish' play. We've all seen or heard of 'Karens' in our time but Debra takes it to a whole new AMAZING level. Its a brilliant social commentary on how entitled our society has become to the point where we have so many people who believe 'Karen' like behaviour is acceptable. You will watch their outrageous behaviour and laugh at them because this, like so many of Deb's plays...is just fabulous!
