I think we can all relate to either the writer or the reader in this piece. For me, I sympathize with the writer, worrying somewhat unnecessarily if they have offended a theatre critic, when we know deep down that's most likely impossible! This is fun and pacey, I enjoyed it!

This version of so many nursery rhymes thrown into one is so much fun, I particularly enjoy the seven sheep and the nervous pigs! This would be a fun play for a youth group to have a hoot with. Loved it!

If ever there was a message, a lesson to learn, this play is it. Aly takes us to what may be a future not as far ahead as we think, a future where humanity gives up on Earth itself. But politics aside, this is a touching play about two young scientists, two young friends who remain with each other, even though miles separate them, to the inevitable end, in their joint determination to preserve other species. This is a beautifully told story of a future we can only hope will never happen.

This play is so atmospheric, so elegant and so like the painting it sets itself in. It takes a great writer to bring a two dimensional image to life, Aly does this to excellent effect. I won't give any more away, suffice to say the author manages to throw in a wonderful unexpected twist at the end. This play is beautifully elegant but with with a sad undertone. Brilliant!

This play is a great, fast paced interaction, albeit through a closed door, between neighbors over the possible incident involving their pets. Karen's 'complaints are questionable to say the least and how young Skye deals with them is spot on! Great fun!

Oh poor Ross, he doesn't set off on the best foot but still can't manage to put a foot right with his date! This play is fun, awkward and fast passed, I really enjoyed reading it and can envisage it being staged. I didn't see the twist at the end coming, which was brilliant. Read it and find out for yourself!

Every now and then two strangers meet and something magical happens, thankfully so in this case. Who would expect Amazon to deliver loved ones ashes, a thought which troubles me because I can see it happening. This is such a sweet notion and I can clearly envisage the delivery driver taking the widow our onto the water for the last goodbye. Lovely.

How do you deal with a mouse in your house? Well, anything you like except Noah and Andys rather over the top approach, which had me smiling throughout. I can certainly relate to the 'bloke' logic these two inept mouse catchers have! Great fun!

In this great two hander by Molly we see a young couple somewhat engrossed in their electronic devices that perhaps they do not pay each other enough attention. But quickly they do when the subject of biting comes up, (btw I loved the line from the memory "her arm fell into my mouth!) then off they go in a great direction, to a somewhat icy conclusion! I hope this brings lots of new adventures to this young couple! I loved it!

Wow, this is a big day to all concerned! This play threw in so many (darkly) funny twists that I'm still not sure who is supposed to marry who! Then a turn near the end took me completely by surprise! I would love to see this staged!
