    Behind the brightly colourful facade of the diner and the characters vivid clothing and personalities lies a sinister world which unravelled as this short went along. Reading this my mind changed several times trying to figure out the ending, when I came it came as a shock. DeFrates has created a strange new world so vividly in such a short piece, give it a read, it's great!!
  • WHOSE PANTS ARE THESE? - COMEDY
    24 Sep. 2021
    Great fun, fast passed family shenanigan's, exactly the sort of trick my parents would pull! I really enjoyed this and could visualize it perfectly, although I tried to block out the image of the tight trousers, I'm with Izzy on that one, eek!
  • If Scars Could Talk

    What an interesting perspective, to have two scars in discussion. Rita brings real life to both characters in this brilliant monologue, after a while it became clear (to me) that they are voicing the lady to which they belong, her pain and fears, so then it took on a whole greater meaning. Excellent!

    What a lovely, heartwarming play this is, beautifully narrated by Hailey. Music is truly inspirational and evocative, to pass it onto the next generation is a must and something I strive to do. So reading this put a lovely tune in my heart. Wonderful!
  • LIFE AFTER WONDERFUL

    What a heartwarming short play this is from Lermond, it's left a warm glow in me for the rest of the day!. My life is currently wonderful and it makes me think and fear of a life after this wonderful, so I am inspired to write my feelings more often, so thanks so much for that. Give this wonderful play a read!
  • Down to the Last Fresh Body (a monologue)

    What a horribly fun play this is, thankfully the current pandemic didn't head this way! I agree with the other review of this play by Asher, you really are drawn into the room by the narrator, I felt uncomfortable but equally excited to be there! Great fun!

    What a great idea by Bethany to have her character randomly interviewed by an alien! I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, a great observation on what it is to be 'normal and straight' and how other beings would see that. I can totally understand her character pondering whether to join this new world or to stay on Earth and educate. Lovely!
  • Deeper

    I totally enjoyed this play, Deeper, right up my street. It is very well constructed, I can clearly see it being played out and the ending was not as I expected, which I love! This has left me with so many questions, I may well read it again! Wonderful play!
  • Beneath The Ice
    21 Sep. 2021
    Beneath the Ice is a chilling piece brilliantly told by the writer. I love the idea of setting the central character in the white light of tragedy and the remorse of the remaining characters is clear to see. I would love to see this staged and I believe it would be a great drama for young students to take on. Great work!
  • Eggs in the Morning

    What a great piece this is by Rachel, I totally believed in the relationship between the two characters and soon became hooked, wanting to know which direction the change in situation would take them. Reminds me of the film Friends with Benifits. Give this a read, its great!
