It is surely brave to take on an adaptation of a master piece by such a classic author, but Dana has done just that to dramatic effect. I'm a big fan of the original story and the playwright has effectively bought it up to date with 3 actors bringing to life the tension and drama in a unique way. So much left unsaid as to what she is now free from, but we can all draw our own conclusions. Excellent!

Fun, silly, quirky, cool, and so many other adjectives to describe this play about the unlikeliest of new friendships! This play is great fun and would be a hoot to perform and to watch! But behind this there is an important message about global warming...Will we really see polar bears in Hawaii ??

This is a very moving, difficult, heartfelt play which tackles the subject of a child lost to addiction in a very real and emotional way. How difficult must it be to write an obituary about someone so close? Ellen addresses this very sensitively in her play SUDDENLY. Do give this a read.

I read this in a similar location, Kefalonia, watching the sun set! What a great little play of playful double crossing which took me by surprise! Now I might just be careful of who I chose as vacation friends! Great!

Jack! You reduced me to tears! This is such a beautiful yet sad play, but full of a wonderful hope. As a step father myself (in very different circumstances) I can relate to the feelings John has for Sarah, how he cares for her and loves her beyond words. What's more, where is there need for a psychiatrist when a good heart to heart with the one you love the most is far more effective and beneficial to both? This is such a beautiful play!!

This is a beautiful short two hander, a sweet dance reminiscent of Carmen, will they, won't they? So much told yet untold, why did she agree to meet him yet be reluctant to grant him his first "proper" kiss. I'm a sucker for this type of tale and I loved this play!

This is a very thought provoking play on the emotions we have, real or not real, are we real or part of an experiment? I am very much reminded of the TV series Westworld, such is the skill and complexity of the author. So much untold here too, I believe this could be extended to a full length play. Also the great twist at the end took me by surprise! I love it!

What I find most interesting about this anthology of monologues and short plays centered on four diverse young characters is that the author uses the language and thoughts of youth, perfectly amalgamated with the recollection and hindsight of adulthood. Quite incredible. As a straight, Christian 'normal' boy, I faced a lot of bullying simply for being the shortest in my year. This play shows us that kids can rise above this, given the chance, and they should be listened to! I love the way the four meet at the end and pretty much want to start their own country! Excellent!

Perfectly titled this is a great short two hander with an important message. I'm impressed at the unique way in which the author takes us back to see Isaac Newton, inspired! Maybe if we can go back to seek advise from the great and wise we can look forward in a more positive light. Wonderful !

This is such a fun farce, a raucous radio romp and a silly take on Indiana Jones with enough innuendo to bring in the sniggers! I really picture the monkey as being a ventriloquist dummy on the arm of our Dashing Dirk!
Set as a radio play, it would be even more fun being read live on stage a such play, for to see each character live on stage in front of us, in full wonderful costume would make the evening a total hoot!! Spiffing work Ol' Chap!
