I love this monologue! I can see it being staged, someone dressed as an owl perched in a tree who suddenly realizes just what pain and suffering it's kind has inflicted on lesser mortals! Maybe we should take heed of this wise owl, or will our hunger prevail more? A great, thought provoking monologue.

INSPIRATION by Rachel lives up to it's title, the way this play is staged and having the lead character narrate his story while also acting it out is inspirational. You can't help but feel for Nick, from the very beginning you're on his side wanting to guide him in the big lights of London, then you're challenged by the arrival of Jack. What follows is a twist on the film Fight Club, but in the end you question fiction against the truth. A cleverly written play which would be captivating to watch!

This is such a beautiful play in so many ways, one way that stands out for me is the love in this family that weaves its way through the story and holds them all close. The twins share an unbreakable bond even when they go their separate, and desperate ways in life. Also this play is so evocatively told, reading this I felt every hug, heard every gun shot and every note from the Steinway. Simply beautiful.

The very title of this play is genius in itself, Humans do, in some small parts of the world, remain. Here Robin has created a brilliant, simple, yet believable civilisation away from the trappings of the modern world. To begin with I found their dialect difficult to follow, but as you read on it becomes so clear that you can see why Peter would become so ensconced in their world so quickly. This is a clever, world creating play which would be a huge yet rewarding task for a group to produce. Wonderful!

Oh my, where do I start? I have truly learnt from a master here, such is the depth of story as deep and dark as the titular trench itself. We watch Teddy and Anzor begin an unbreakable bond, even through censored letters, both far too intelligent for their own good at times and both terribly haunted and troubled. But what astounds me the most is the way the author has created such an incredible, troubled, divided world described only by the words of his characters. A stunning play!

Well I hope I am never a poor fox entrapped by the Goddess of the Hunt! This play has so many twist and turns, so much double crossing its hard to keep up. I particularly admired the use of information screens flagging up social media posts throughout. And I hope I don't find myself sharing a kir royale with Hemmingway anytime soon! Superb!

I love this short monologue and Cadillac's take on Greece and it's statues! She is a wonderful and fun character and you can clearly believe her reasoning behind all this! I will never look at such statues the same way again! Wonderful!

I simply love and admire the atmosphere Aly has created in this wonderful, moving play! I felt submerged in the story so much I could also feel the shaft of sunlight coming from the cellar latch door. The relationship between the two girls is written so beautifully and heart felt, then at the end i am reminded of what a dire situation poor Zelde finds herself in. Such a beautiful short play, I love it!

Haha, what fun this play is! I have sometimes built furniture and wondered why it has to be so difficult, maybe I'm not an Ikea person either! This play is funny, slick and a good account of married life whilst under the undue pressure of self furniture build!

The tension in this play by Cipolla is as intense as the two main characters, who meet up at a seedy motel. At first we do not know why they are they, then the reason becomes uncomfortably clear. But the twist at the end steels this piece, it hits you in the face and you feel embroiled in their fight! I also admire the clear stage directions which help to build the characters and their relationship. Excellent!
