  • An Absence In Writing
    17 Feb. 2022
    There are so many writers out there who will feel for 'playwright' as he desperately tries to turn his ideas into a reality. Jonathan expertly explores the creative process with this is piece and conjures up some wonderful imagery for the audience as they travel with the actor through his creativity, desperation and in the end....well you will just have to read it and find out, but you definitely should.
  • CLAIREVOYANT [10-Minute Play]
    15 Feb. 2022
    The juxtaposition of the way the two characters feel about their relationship is beautifully created here. This piece will have the audience empathising as Claire talks about Brett's failures in their relationship. Nathan has presented the audience with a great snapshot of a relationship and at the same time he's given it an wonderfully original spin by adding the mysticism of the occult and fate. Its truly a conversation I never pictured a couple having and that intrigue is what will have audiences flock to it!
  • Bottle Episode
    15 Feb. 2022
    Awwww! This is such a beautiful and heart breaking piece. Maximillian has brought to life a character that audiences can feel for in the most unlikely of places. As you watch you keep hoping and wanting Bottle to make it to a recycling bin. Its a great piece with a lovely underlining message. It would make a great piece for festivals, either staged or short film!
  • Something Borrowed...
    15 Feb. 2022
    Another brilliantly witty piece from John! He's captured the rivalry between two sisters perfectly and just when you think you know which is which he throws in a classic curve ball. Its a lovely piece that covers the complexity of sibling relationships as well as how they affect other relationships. I think the audience will be wondering if Rachel will ever get her 'borrowed' stuff back. Its a play that needs to be performed to allow the inevitable laughs and conversations to be had.
  • Take It Or Leave It
    14 Feb. 2022
    I LOVE the idea of the "Take it or Leave it Shed". In a world where we produce a lot of waste its nice to see a play that explores other options. The way the idea of recycling and helping out spreads from the well meaning Angie and Art to the youth character is a great snapshot of what life could be if we all had this way of looking at things. I love the way Jacquelyn creates pieces that can make you smile, think and in this case, want to be a better person. I love it!
  • 5 Golden Rings
    14 Feb. 2022
    As I read this piece I could see myself being stood at a Christmas party and watching this woman terrify this poor bloke with her talk of weddings, rings, honeymoons and breast surgery! Being part of this woman's chaotic thinking I was bewildered in the best possible way. She's a brilliantly created character with a truly original voice and unique train (or potentially derailed train) of thought and I think she'd be a great challenge for any actress.
  • The Next Hero
    14 Feb. 2022
    Bruce has created two beautiful characters here. The doting and concerned mother who doesn't want her son to throw his life away vs the head strong son who longs for nothing more than to follow in his father's footsteps. Their conversation/argument is one you can really get drawn into and I think the lives of them (and indeed the husband) is one that could easily be a full length play but (as with the other pieces I've read for this writer), it stands perfectly on its own.
  • Sales of a Dead Man
    14 Feb. 2022
    This is a brilliant farcical comedy that shows how cut throat the world of inter office competition can be, even dead men don't hang onto their figures for long. This would make a brilliant entry to a festival. I love the quick and witty back and forth and the ending is just genius. I never get bored of reading Arther Jolly's work, and neither should you!
  • Unromantic Bouquet
    13 Feb. 2022
    We had a wonderful time at our weekly play reading reading this piece as part of our Valentine’s Day reading. It’s a wonderfully funny and different perspective on the stereotype of buying flowers for someone and, as with so many of Rex’s plays, it’s got a superb dialogue to back it up. Just so fabulously original!
  • Ahavah
    13 Feb. 2022
    As part of our weekly play reading we had the wonderful privilege of reading this brilliantly insightful play which explores the world of a relationship under a new light. It’s brilliantly written and deserves a spotlight of its own.
