    In a world where its more important than ever to take time for yourself, Samantha has created a beautiful snapshot of how daily life can get in the way of you even taking fifteen minutes to yourself. The three characters in this play are fabulously different so the dialogue flits back and forth with wonderful pace. The situation Barbara finds herself in will resonate with quite a few audience members and the writer has given three actresses the opportunity to play three brilliant albeit different roles. For that reason it deserves a stage to be seen on!

    A funny (if somewhat scathing) commentary on how much the constant stream of Social Media affects our lives. It speaks volumes when you realise what the resolution is that has been set in place. Its brilliantly created and I can see it as a great piece for any actress.

    The dark subject matter, the beautifully tensioned dialogue coupled with the fabulous characters make this a wonderful piece. Placing these three very different people in the same room and adding the catalyst of the tragedy of a school shooting leaves you with the piece of theatre you can't help but be drawn into. We all have opinions on guns and violence. This piece inspires discussion on the events that you see unfold before you. Its a piece that needs to be seen and talked about. Such a powerful piece.

    A piece to giggle at from start to finish for me! Its a brilliant re-write of the tornado sequence from The Wizard of Oz. I'll never think of Dorothy & Toto in the same light again. As always, Maripat has created brilliantly wonderful characters that and audience will love to watch in this brilliant fantastical piece. Its a wonderfully original concept for a classical story that needs to be seen.

    So, from the character list I was intrigued regarding the premise of this piece. From there you are introduced to four young men discussing the intricacies of what Halloween means to them and the events that have unfolded on this particular Halloween night. Its a lovely 'coming of age' story almost and while I do love the characters and the story I can't agree with one thing....you are NEVER too old for Halloween! Would make a great piece for young actors.

    The descriptions of the characters alone had me intrigued with this piece. From there the writer unfolds the characters before the audience so they can discover more and more with every line. You empathise with both characters and appreciate the scenario of judgement and awkward teenaged angst. Throwing the tense catalyst at the piece was truly brilliant and gives that moment of boosted pace and tension, perfectly rounding off the interaction. You can see it as very real theatre.

    It is a tragedy that pieces like this have to be written and by the time I'd read this heart breaking piece I felt angry for the character. Its a monologue that will inspire conversation, stir emotions and if placed in front of the right audience I think it could go some way towards people thinking about change. A very well written piece with a wonderfully genuine voice at its centre.
  • BIKE FOR $ALE!!! GREAT PRI¢E!!!

    Oh so many alarm bells were set off by Gary! Its creepy but at the same time you have this lingering amusement that possibly (just possibly) the creepiness is all imagined and he's just a poor guy trying to sell a bike. Its a brilliant construction by the playwright and my interpretation is proof that it could have audiences thinking all kinds of things. Very well done and could be brilliantly performed by the right actor.

    I can see this being brilliant to watch as the Angel and Devil dive in and out of various roles! Samantha has taken a wonderfully unique idea and delivered spectacularly well! A small cast piece can be difficult hold an audience but for me I was there and wanting to know more right the way through to the last moment. Its no wonder its had so many wonderful things said about it! If allowed it could have a bright and promising future, so produce it!

    I couldn't help but smile all the way though this. The 'exceptionally attractive' air stewardess 'designed by an all male team' gives a funny commentary on our society and then its all framed by the witty if slightly awkward conversation between the new flyer and the stewardess. Its a brilliant back and forth that is sure to have audiences amused from start to finish and I think it it needs to be brought to life!
