It was dark, I was trapped in black and white, I needed a new case like I needed the best whiskey in a bar.
But this bar I stumbled in had a real femme fatale. I had a new case but was I up to this dangerous Dame?
Find out for yourselves, this play sure is a real treat!

MOVING DAY by Marilyn is sweet as it us heartbreaking. For this is as much about love for family as the obvious final journey.
The humour is subtle, gentle and perfect.
Audiences will be sure to warm to Edie and understand her choice.
I'd love to see this staged.

Set up as a piece of absurdist comedy, and it is with its interjections from the doctor, this is more than skin deep.
It's absurd that anyone should feel they have to hide away from their appearance, whatever gender, let alone be told to.
There is so much love evident in this couple, that it leaves us hoping they do stay together, operation or not.

I really love the magical mind of this playwright, once again she has given us such a wonderful character, this time actioned by two actors. As a sometimes producer, I would relish the chance of creating this Shoebill Stork, for any thoughtful attempt will be a pleasure for the audience to admire.

Aside from this, there is an important message here, we really need to communicate with nature, if only we could communicate.

Wonderful!

The main thing I love about recommending plays is that I can take a certain angle of the play I've read and offer my thoughts and commendations. This play by Christian is so unique, so clever, I love the way the two characters are clearly separated by decades, almost centuries, but also in how the playwright brings in the audience, whether they want to or not, deep into this story.

Credit to Flynn for coming up with something so clever, I'd love to be in the audience for a production of Correspondents!

Oooh I do love a good vampire tale, and this did not disappoint.
I love the cat and mouse game being played out here, just who is being interviewed by whom?
What price you pay for a gift?
Great!

Two grown men meet in a dark alley... sounds sinister until you realise why they are meeting and what they are exchanging! So yes, it's awkward at first, but when we strike up conversation, barriers usually come down.
But this is also a shrewd look into a generation who think they accept gender preferences and choices, but perhaps still get it skewed slightly and try too hard.

Do listen to the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast of this great play!

I love this play! Weddings for single people can be awkward, lonely even, especially on valentines day, but here the bridesmaid and groomsman, with their very similar names, meet up and the banter starts immediately causing the chemistry to stir.
Great interaction between the two which is perfectly palpable.... I wonder of there's another wedding on the cards?

You know that weird, uncomfortable feeling when you laugh during a funeral? That's how I felt reading this brilliantly hilarious dark play by Martin!
No doubt it is very funny, but having a kid in a toy shop with a gun with live rounds is not at all funny. So you see my predicament.
But this is an excellent short play with a wonderful role for a young actor. Love it!

Having been a soccer (I'm British, its football to us) stepdad, I can relate well to this play. What starts as a first meet on the touch line of their sons football match, soon turns a lot deeper as both mens stories unfold. I feel this is the start of a great friendship where Saturday morning beers are shared. Very good! (BTW in the UK at kids football, it is now almost forbidden for parents to shout at the ref haha!)
