"You're making a scene"...well you know what? Some things are worth making a scene over! Cole has taken a horribly tragic but very real issue about the cost of medical care and is making you see. Its compelling, loaded with tension and will have people talking about it afterwards, I know because I speant half an hour discussing it when I'd finished reading it. There are certain things horribly wrong with this world and they are worth making a scene about. That is what Cole has done here, made a brilliantly constructed scene!

The wonderfully innocent nature of children is brought out in this great piece. Although 'the birds and the bees' can some time be an awkward or embarassing topic to discuss with young people, Debra has made it funny and heartfelt all at the same time. I loved it and I think the ending won't fail to give you a giggle, it did me.

To be able to write fabulously diverse and intrieguing plays for young people is a gift that Debra definitely has. The Grammar gaurdians and their adventures is a play that will thrill, amuse and educate, so what more could you want? Debra really has taken everything into account when creating this piece! Grammar can sometimes set off immediate groans of boredom but not here! I can safely say that if you let your youth group bring The Gramma Gaurdians to life, you will never think about Grammar the same way again. An absolutely brilliantly clever piece.

1 minute this play may be but it speaks VOLUMES! Debra explores not only the lives of the four characters since they were at school together but she also reveals a way of life, where football is the centre piece. While the play is American set, the idea that sport can take over a life would not be lost on someone in the UK either. Its brilliantly funny and insightful. A winning combination but from Debra I expect nothing less.

"Artists were RICH! They did whatever they wanted!" I couldn't help but chuckle at this, which set the tone for this wonderfully creative piece Debra has created. Classical art can be considerred a 'stuffy' past time by young people, which she has clearly emulated with her student characters at the beginning. From there you as an audience are escorted through a glorious world of art and imagination. Its a piece that will be appreciated by the young and old alike and I believe would make such a wonderful show to see and experience, because believe me you do!

From the moment I read the character descriptions I knew I was in for a piece that would grab my attention and it most certainly did. Its a great tale of comeuppance as his fears of being 'replaced' are realised, but not in a way you expect. That's what makes this a truly brilliant piece, the piece opens with you, as the reader expecting one thing and quickly having your expectations turned on their head. Very well constructed with deliberate misdirection.

As I often have with Jared's plays, I was on the edge of my seat as I was privileged to read about the adventures of his brilliantly created characters as it twisted and turns. Its a pieced packed to the rafters with moments of humour, tension and mystery. Its already been said that once you read this piece you will want to see it live, its entirely true! Its a piece that deserves stage time so your audience can be kept on the edge of their seats, just like I was!

I read everything Chris writes because I never fail to be amused/touched/intrigued. However, this was the first piece where I was brought to the point of tears. The narrator's hatred of himself for being (in his mind) 'small and weak' is apparent throughout the piece and your heart breaks as you read it. You desperately want someone to take them into their arms and tell them 'you are not small and weak, you are important!' and I think that is what Chris has inspired with this piece, the desire to speak up for those who can't!

We had the great privilege of reading this piece as part of our Sunday evening play readings and, as with all of George's work it intrigues and has you sitting with bated breath wanting to know how its going to end, which door will they choose? George takes this relatively simple decision of choosing a door and constructs a brilliant piece of tension, some humour and a lot of intrigue. You put this on in your theatre and your audience will be on the edge of their seats wanting to know and will probably leave still talking about it.

I loved the film "Cruella" so when I saw this title I was automatically drawn in, and boy was I glad I was! Cruella has never been so funny to me! Admittedly what she is saying about puppies does make you want to recoil in horror but Debra has interlaced this with such great moments of humour, you aren't sure how you want to react! Its brilliantly done and something an actress could have great fun with and the final thought about cats, just superb!
