  • Christopher Plumridge: Irony

    This is a great little monologue, which starts out along the lines of Four Weddings and a Funeral, but to my joy it turns all Alanis!
    Isn't it ironic!
    The realisation of just who he was flirting with must have gone down like a jagged little pill.
    Let's hope there was an uninvited guest he could have hooked up with.
    Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: What The Leprechaun Said

    Ha ha ha ha! This is brilliant to be sure!
    These leprechaun are tricky little blighters as we are well aware, well so should the two travelers stopping for a well earned sleep be aware too.
    No spoilers here, suffice to say I love the ending! Ha!

  • Christopher Plumridge: I'm Not Wearing The Green Dress

    I love this short two hander! Jillian balances the siblings characters perfectly, and as what starts out as a simple family rivalry, turns into something much deeper.
    The ending is perfect too. I think this would be ideal for a student group as part of a festival.
    Very good!

  • Christopher Plumridge: RAVINE (a 5-minute radio drama)

    This short radio drama hits hard from the opening line and the tension does not let up throughout. I am a lover of audio dramas and believe that, in good hands, this would make an excellent radio drama.
    Michele deftly places her audience right in the car with father and daughter, to a point they will feel equally uncomfortable and desperate, and that's an excellent skill. Brilliant!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Juggler

    Having a full time job and trying to be a playwright, I feel like I'm juggling myself. Morey is a master of mayhem, just read WHEN IN ROME.
    This juggler has his works mixed up, throw in a detective to add to the melting and you have another little Morey Masterpiece, full of dad jokes and hilarious confusion.
    Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: It Was An Accident

    Oh this is a clever little two hander!
    It's tough enough to loose a good friend, especially at such a young age, even worse to such circumstances. I say this play is clever, for to begin with you feel sorry for these two ladies, and annoyed at the blurting cousin, but slowly the direction changes....
    No spoilers here, but read this, it's great writing!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Monologue - "A Rainy Night in Hollywood"

    So many horrific stories came out of the great wars, and many from the D-Day landings. Tom gives us such a believable story of one soldiers survival against all odds, all because of a neat trick. The fact that this soldier lived to tell his story is testament to the hero he was, albeit fictional, so many similar acts of heroism took place.
    A great, heartfelt monologue.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Pit

    One often feels sorry for Prillamans characters, as does Daniel himself, one would hope. PIT is a complex, yet painfully simple premise; put crabs in a pot and see what happens. When there's just two, companionship and acceptance can follow, throw in a third and all hell can brake loose.
    So many unanswered questions, the main being why are they there and who put them there? Also for me, one question remains which I would love an answer to; Just why did the CEO sack the Watchman?
    This is Prillaman at his best!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Poetica

    As Mr Sickles allows this to be performed by any adults, I immediately transported myself to a bar in Dublin and watched Jordon and Flannery's funny, slick conversation spill out over their pints of Guinness (Yes, I
    replaced the wine with beer, sorry!)
    This two-hander is a lot of clever fun, so there must be many ways it could be performed.
    But that's just my opinion......

  • Christopher Plumridge: Property of The Louvre [monologue]

    This monologue is so evocative, within moments the audience will be with Pablo, in Paris, in 1911, such is the power of story telling here.
    There must have been so many conspiracy theories about the event, and here we have another, very cleverly thought out one. This monologue is as artistic as the painting as its subject.
    And what a fantastic final line!
    I would love to perform this!
