  • Christopher Plumridge: Twelve Books

    Books can be so evocative,just seeing the cover of one can throw back memories, good ones and bad.
    And to theses twelve books the skillful hand of Philip and you have a tender, ghostly two hander, sweet and poignant. I can see this being staged in a cosy library, with more than just twelve books on the shelves.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Amongst the Stars

    Oh my word, what starts as a gentle two hander under the stars, develops gradually into something far deeper, then hits you with a killer punch right on the last line!
    This will catch audiences by surprise, as it did me just reading it. Wow!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Accidental Fatal Attraction

    Hit Man and Her meets The Body Snatchers and I love the result!
    A daft mix of gallows humour and first date (2nd?) scenario if ever there was! Next time you're in a hotel, make sure you have the right room number....

  • Christopher Plumridge: 18,936 Steps (A Monologue)

    There must be 18,936 expressions of emotion in this taught monologue as the protagonist plays out her pain and anguish while trying to pace away the worry.
    The UK NHS is a godsend, but can be a total nightmare just the same, Rachel sums this up neatly.
    An excellent, deep and heartfelt monologue.

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Truth Hurts

    Ha! Is this a dream or is this reality. Personally I hope the latter. We all wish our pets could talk, and if they did, what would they say? I know for sure my dog would swear...
    This play is a sweet short, subtly funny and would be great to stage.
    Nice!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Wine Con-Noisier

    Having once worked in a wine shop where a young lady asked me for a bottle of "the Pea-NOT Gree-go", I can certainly relate to this fun short.
    There's a clear lesson Steve needs to learn, don't bulls***. And somehow I doubt he'll be getting a third date.
    Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Allen Abduction

    Just the tonic I needed to start 2025 off with a laugh! You can always turn to a Busser for a good giggle, even if it's at the expense of poor Allen here. Full of clever twists and turns, the real laughs come from the names, of characters and town alike.
    Brilliantly funny, however I will stay away from the town of Deep Sch.....

  • Christopher Plumridge: Noir Man

    Ha! You had me at Noir!
    Perfect Noir fun to be had here, dark, moody, black and white with enough sexual tension between the two characters to light any unlit cigarrete. The plot is to find the plot, no great plot, but who needs a plot to get in the way of a good story?
    Brilliant, I would love to stage this play, in black and white of course!

  • Christopher Plumridge: LOVELY

    Lovely this is!
    Brilliantly named Ollie and Aldi (no spoilers here) muse about how worrisome it is to be a lady of a certain age, and indeed younger, when one has to always look lovely for the Gentlemen. Meanwhile Deedee, young and lovely herself just wants to sit upon the wall and look, well, lovely! What Deedee does next is the crux of the story and sets up a fantastic twist at the end.
    Lovely indeed!
