  • Don't Mind Me by Adam Richter
    22 Feb. 2022
    “ As someone who spent 3 months alone in their office during the pandemic, I do appreciate the desire for conversation with your colleagues and that is what Adam has expertly portrayed. I love the wonderful 'ramblings' of the character because you can tell that while co-worker considers them ramblings, they are very much important to the character. This ability to create characters of depth is one thing I've seen a lot in Adam's writing and I think this piece would make a wonderful monologue for an older performer and is something an audience will relate to. ”
  • Morningside Heath by Michael C. O'Day
    22 Feb. 2022
    “ Despite being set against a desolate wasteland in the future, I couldn't help but smile at the idea of a "Coyoodle". The whole piece is like that! The two characters talking about the hazards they face where they are and then reminiscing about asthma or the legends of spreadsheets. I also love the creative use of the Shakespearean language, it creates a wonderful juxtaposition between the classical language and the harsh reality of the situation the characters find themselves in. Its very cleverly done and I think deserves a production! ”
  • Date with Death by Steven Hayet
    22 Feb. 2022
    “ Well....that's one way of dealing with relationships. From the moment I read the synopsis I knew I was going to enjoy this play and I was right. Steven creates a brilliant scenario with laugh out loud moments between three wonderfully creative characters. Its no wonder this piece has won the awards it has. Its truly wonderfully funny, despite its dark underlining and if you are looking for a laugh out loud comedy then you won't go far wrong. ”
  • Given Away by Greg Lam
    22 Feb. 2022
    “ Wow! Just when you think you've heard everything you get "You’re feeling bad about... how you can’t be a bigot anymore?" Greg Lam presents a brilliantly written perspective on the idea of 'forced politeness' taken to the extreme. As a reader I had to read it twice because I was just purely shocked by Clarice's outburst. The biting back and forth dialogue between the two women is very well done and it will no doubt leave audiences astounded in the best possible way. ”
  • “WHEN THE WORLD FALLS IN LOVE" by Donald Loftus
    22 Feb. 2022
    “ As a Christmas lover, I've had many conversations about when it is ok to sing Christmas songs, so this piece spoke to me right from the very beginning (and I dare say will do for others as well). From there the piece continues to provide many points within Buddy and Elaine's relationship that audiences will relate to. The piece takes you through their relationship (the good and the bad) in brilliantly heartfelt way. You'll come out of a theatre holding the hand of the person you're with a little bit tighter. A perfect seasonal offer for a festival. ”
  • Pussygrabber by Gina Femia
    18 Feb. 2022
    “ The flitting back and forth between the political and the sexual makes you sit up and take notice as you think about what this girl (and America) are going through as they both of their experience of having themselves violated. I found myself angry that it got to the point of faking it for the central character to be released. This is a piece that will resonate with audiences and it will make them uncomfortable but that is sometimes what great theatre is about, forcing the audience to face a certain reality and a certain idea. ”
  • Mother Christmas by Peter Dakutis
    18 Feb. 2022
    “ "Celebrate Christmas as a mother" is absolute genius! In this piece Peter brilliantly creates a wonderful world where Father and Mother Christmas are larger than life characters, each wanting to be the centre of Christmas. The word play is so wonderful it will have you laughing out loud all the way through and will leave you seeing Christmas in a whole new light. Its one of the best 'alternative' Christmas pieces I've ever read! ”
  • THE CELLPHONES OF THE DEAD (ten-minute) by Dwayne Yancey
    18 Feb. 2022
    “ You always hear about horrifying events on the news but you are able to keep a certain amount of distance but in this powerful piece Dwayne confronts his audience with death and what the officer sees. Its a piece that will not only be heard but experienced and because it is so well constructed I would wager it will have people talking about it as they walk away. I powerful piece for the central actor and expertly put together. The point this piece raises needs to be heard and seen. ”
  • My Zombie Valentine by Kate Danley
    18 Feb. 2022
    “ Well despite being guilty of splurging on Valentines Day I couldn't help but laugh out loud at this piece. Its a brilliant commentary on how the commercialism of a holiday can affect our common sense but its also amplified by the extreme idea of it turning people into actual zombies! Brilliantly put together and would make a great addition to a sketch show. ”
  • Fifty Shades of Grayskull: An Autocorrected Play by John Busser
    17 Feb. 2022
    “ Oh the wonders of auto correct. As if creating a brilliant piece that combines two opposing worlds, John then throws an auto correct spanner into the works. Some lines, you don't know if its been corrected and some you can almost imagine your own phone correcting. Its a wonderfully funny piece on word play and I think would have audiences giggling right the way through. Its official "John has the power!" (He-man reference if you didn't know :-) ) ”
