I often wonder about the merits of a one minute play, can it be worth it? But Monica has proven me wrong in this slick, fast paced and energetic sci-fi! Can the Waterloo seek sanctuary with its precious cargo, is it a trick? Great!

As time goes by, Joey seems to accept the brutal abuse coming to him with an air of calm, this in itself is truly heart breaking. A paper plane thrown from a bus, a few cookies? Any abuser caught and hopefully imprisoned should be made to watch this incredible series staged, to be shown clearly the hideous impact their actions have caused. I say once again, Joe writes these plays superbly, drawing in the audience uncomfortably into the dire situation. Amazing.

I am compelled to keep reading this incredible series by Joe, here we see Joey finding some strength to confront his abducter and abuser, but at cost. Emotional enough but one line completely choked me. The imaginary friends small monologue at the end says so much too. Aside from the content, these are incredibly well written, punchy plays. These have to be staged!

In this slick two hander Rachel takes the "it's not you, it's me, but it isn't me because it's actually you" break up scenario to a whole new level. I'm still not sure what Claires real reason is, and at the end of this I feel I am Kevin himself, well I certainly feel his pain! This will leave the the audience in a mild state of confusion and questioning her motives, which for this reader I love!

What starts of as a rather naughty encounter soon turns very funny indeed! I'm not sure if that's what Patrick intended but he sure recieved a lesson in 'sleeping with' someone. A great spin, love it!

To bring such inanimate objects to life in such a fun way is inspired! I loved all the characters, all unique in their own way and their own colour, all together in the mutual aim to complete the big picture. This would be so much fun to stage and watch! Now I need a shoulder to crayon.....

This beautiful monologue took me back a dozen years or so to my neice of that age telling such similar stories in the same way, so sweet! We all have regrets, so to be able to erase even only one of them would be a delight. Oh, I've forgotten where I'm going with this rec.....erase! Great monologue!

Having never before read a palindromic play, if any others even exist, I am in awe of this piece by Nathan. Read either way it is slick and clever, you can clearly imagine the two scenes being played out simultaneously, if only us human audiences could concentrate on both at the same time! This would be a wonderful challenge to stage! Very clever!

A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR is a stark two hander expertly written, gritty and lonely. The two characters meet after a year since their only previous encounter, and soon their strained chemistry is clear to see. I found this fascinating and a tad uncomfortable, two of the many emotions I love to feel when reading or watching such pieces. Love it!

What a tease! Where is the rest? Such a great, compelling and interesting start to something which could be so much longer, such is the interesting premise. The reader is left with so many questions, but as it stands it's a lovely short play. But I want more!
