  • Christopher Plumridge: Pumpkin Guts: A Monologue

    Jackie the Pumpkin delivers such a funny, narky, sarcastic rant in this hilarious monologue by Cole!
    There are some strange rituals which we follow after so many years, and no one has ever stopped before to ask the pumpkins if they actually even want to be carved up and have a candle inserted!
    This would make for a fun physical play, but also would be very funny made into an audio, which I will set about doing immediately!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Outpost

    I treated my ears to the wonderfully produced audio of this play by Broken Arts Entertainment, I suggest you do to.
    The future is often played out as doom and gloom, this play is no exception, it brings about the end to not just Earth, but the entire Milky Way.
    Familiar maybe, but with a Sickles play, it's never that simple, for he sprinkles in his usual mastery of craftsmanship along with a healthy spoonful of love.
    And I simply love how subtly sarcastic the computer is!
    Futuristically fabulous!

  • Christopher Plumridge: One Night Rescue

    ONE NIGHT RESCUE may be in development, but I for one see it complete. Our Cinderella, Katie here, wakes up with a terrible hangover, only to find herself in a strangers home. Is this man her princess charming, or another frog.
    Enough with fairy tales, this is a realistic meeting of two souls with two stories, and the twist towards the end is perfect.
    As for development? More please!
    Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Cat in the Box

    I once purchased a luxury, soft and cosy basket which hangs on a radiator, for my precious princess of a cat, only to see her happily curled up in the box it was delivered in. Said precious princess never used the basket.
    However this pusscat in question has some old, unidentified trust issues with cardboard and thus delivers a very funny and accurate monologue.... or a MONO-MOG ?

  • Christopher Plumridge: Park & Play

    This is a fun short play where humans and dogs spend time in a park.... sounds familiar? Just like my last dog, Jessie's dog is a moody mut, he doesn't want to make friends with the other dogs, besides, he has his human to care for.
    A fun short, bought to life by the brilliant Gather by the Ghost Light crew.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Missing

    The situation is always tense when someone goes missing, but COLE takes this to a whole new level. First, you are led to believe that Beth has simply gone missing, there's probably an innocent reason, but as the play unfolds things get darker. Cleverly played out in one short scene in one room with one family, who golds the secret to the absence of Beth?
    I just listened to a great audio of this tense play by Theatrical Shinnanigans.

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Ruler Of The World (10-minute play)

    What a deliciously evil, yet subtle Manager excuse me, 'Ruler of the World' Mr Bancroft is, a fantastic character. And dutiful Chen serves him loyally.
    Both characters would provide great riles for their actors and I would lovebto see this staged.
    Although I do believe Mr Bancroft will get what's coming to him eventually!
    Unique and brilliant!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Doomscrolling

    Ha, I love this demons attitude as he aptly embark on yet another doom scroll through Facebook, his rant is priceless. Then along comes an annoying salesman who fully gets the brunt of this prince of darkness' anger.

  • Christopher Plumridge: IOU: a one minute play

    If there's ever a lesson NOT to leave an IOU, this short play is it. In just a few lines it hits brutally to the point. Eeek!

  • Christopher Plumridge: SINGLE WOMAN IN ALABAMA: A MONOLOGUE

    What I have come to learn about Asher is he can create a wonderfully deep and complex character within just a few opening sentences. I fully intend to read more of his work in order to learn key skills from the master of monologues.
    This single woman in Alabama is a key example, she has so much to say in just one speed dating evening, that even the organisers have packed up and she's all alone!
    Just brilliant!
