Patton has created something wonderful, emotional, heartbreaking and thought provoking in this very well written monologue. So many similar stories come out of the horror of war, some may never get to be told. If you need goosebumps, read this, it's excellent!

Ah I love this! So sweet and little Jo really is so grown up that she ably corrects her sisters teacher. This shows clearly that adults and kids can have just the same fears, fears perhaps we never grow out of. Lovely piece!

I totally enjoyed reading this piece by Dunne, as an English man I pictured myself as the eccentric waiter, his voice in my mind took over instantly and I had lots of fun! This is a very quirky play, I believe that an English accented waiter will perfectly offset the American ladies going to tea! I would truly love to play that role! Brilliant and fun!

This is a true reflection of how we all must have felt during lockdown, being a fellow UK resident as the author I could easily relate to Hannah and Lukes claustrophobic situation together. Rachel capturs this perfectly,her young characters thrown together for months are sometimes frustrated with each other but their love holds them together. Very well written!

What profound and deep writing this is from Fields in such a short piece, I am in awe of writers who can set the scene so well, so quickly, as in this piece. Reading this, to be honest I feel uncomfortable, but that's the beauty of this, it makes you FEEL, to me, to feel such strong emotions is important. This is incredible, give it a read!

Having written some alternative nursery rhymes I couldn't resist reading this one from Probst, what a great idea this is! The Writer allows Jill to turn this story on its head and along the way we discover their true friendship. Now it's left me wondering why Humpty Dumpty was even allowed to sit in the wall, was there no risk assessment done? Great!!

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!!

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!

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!
