  • Christopher Plumridge: Dear John

    Ooooh what a gruesome story, Love it! What starts out as a possible murder scene, (let's face it, highly likely to be one), soon turns darker as the mystery depends. This play would be so fun, I mean dark fun, to perform.

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Unexpected Delight of Snowbirds

    Oh I love Claire and Brian, what a sweet old couple! Claire barrage of hilarious insults and Brian's perseverance to make amends for ruining the Christmas trip had me smiling throughout. But what really makes this play so special is the tender way their grief for family, be it human or feline, is presented.
    Staged at Christmas this play would melt the hardest of hearts.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Closedbook

    Oh no! Is this really the future if Facebook, sadly I think so!
    Kelly has written a fun, slick short play here, full of morbid wit.
    This would be lots of fun to stage!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Coin Pusher

    In just five minutes in an amusement arcade, Marshall gives us a sad and poignant story of three generations and a family issue. Grandma is pre-occupied in her titular coin pushing game, while her sweet granddaughter tries to understand.
    Although her mother never appears in this play, the playwright manages to paint a clear picture of her and her loved ones.
    Very good!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Speeding Ticket

    If ever there's a reason not to argue with an officer of the law, here is it! Take into account a whole future scenario of global warming, along with its weirdly odd freezing, you have a fun play brilliantly written by Rachel. The speed and slickness of this play is as if it's on the very ice it's performed. Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Menu

    I have just had the pleasure of recording a role in this play to be produced as an audio, reading it aloud really brings it to life, or death in this case!
    Cindi presents us with an intriguing choice, we get to choose our own cause of death, mostly quick, some brutal, some drawn out. We will all make our own choice. Audiences will have fun watching this poor man try to decide, while pondering their own demise. Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Olly Olly Oxen Free

    What I love about Jacquie's stone circle series is that there is so much open to interpretation. This short play is a fine example, for me it leaves me pondering: are we really safe in our own safe space, in our own stone circle? What if we leave, or someone joins us in our comfort place, is our security jeopardised? Add to this the playwrights skill in horror and you have a truly great, short, chilling mystery to watch.
    Wonderful!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Two Cats Explain the Monstrous Moth Group

    Ha! We all know cats are in charge, they dominate and rule. These two cats in question embark o quite a complicated discussion with their owner, excuse me, I mean servant of course, and the results are hilarious.
    I love the primitive language of the kitten and it's elder doing their best to teach it proper English. This play would be so much fun to stage.
    Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Alien Move Night

    Haha, a fun night out at the movies for these two aliens, one looking for promotion, the other just out for a good time and some cornpop.
    The cashier is perfectly understated, she's seen such fans in alien costumes plenty of times before. Also the twist is clever.

    Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: I Knew It!

    I KNEW IT would be good, especially from the expert pen of Mr Sickles, but this exceeded my expectations.
    Francesca's misguided berating of young Jodilyn is truly scathing and totally hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing while imagining Stephanie Beecham in the role! And in true Sickles-style there is an element of sadness and acceptance in both characters, making you laugh with them and wanting to comfort them too.... but maybe not in bed. As highlighted in other recommendations, there are some fantastic new phrases and put downs here!
    Brilliant!
