Oooh this is as spooky as it is hilarious! I always enjoy the subtle wit Morey weaves into his plays and this time he has excelled! The very name of the video store is on the edge and so funny, yet its clearly a place you don't want to stumble into.
With these vhs tapes, you can check them out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Brilliantly creepy, love it!

MANGO CREEK teeters teasingly on the border of fantasy, yet the realism is just as beautiful. Strangers of chose to stay that way, no talking, no eye contact. But every now and then they talk and so many life stories are suddenly shared.
That's my take on this great little play, I think it could be interpreted a number of ways, such is the depth of story and characters.

Oh poor Max, in trying to deliver the most perfect proposal, it's all gone horribly wrong. Bad enough in front of so many people, but worse still it's all over YouTube!
Thankfully Brenda and Stuart are there to pick him up and send him off to face the world, shoulders held high.
A fun play, at Max's expense, but I have a feeling he'll look back at this and laugh.... in time.

Wow, Karlie packs a punch, and literally, I feel, given the chance.
I applaud Paul for this gritty monologue, for he has chosen not to allow his protagonist love for her mother after a lifetime of physical and verbal abuse. How can there still be love?
This would make an excellent, unique, audition piece.

Joe has taken on a difficult subject and treated it with a perfect amount of sympathy, yet with a perfect dose of reality. Dementia has its evil grip on Sally, but George is ever loving, ever supportive and sticking to his promise to always remain by her side.
The very character descriptions put tears in my eyes, add to that the setting and the unrealism of the child playing in the sand and buying sea shells from Sally, makes a truly stunning painting.
A play as beautiful as George and Sally's long lasting partnership.

How often have we been told to look after ourselves? Look after our bodies?
Certain people in high stress environments really need to take heed and Marilyn addresses this in a hilarious way but putting Brian the Brain in the bosses office and letting him deal with demanding employees. But will Brian lesson.
A really funny play with a real message of which we should all take heed. Love it!

This play is so beautifully darkly hilarious! As a Brit I can say Mike has nailed this, he really used his loaf, especially about the skin & blister. These two got in a right two & eight with this Bobbie, and yes they did have a crap-bollocks week!
Totally brilliant and right up my street.
Well done Guv!

'Never underestimate the power of MOM.' What a great line, and hear we have a great MOM, juggling a lively lad and a bored teen, while admiring a modern wonder of the world.
I'm from England and visited the real Stonehenge as a child, I do believe my parents had me running round it too, now I know why. Is there really a 'CarHenge'??
This is a clever monologue, for Samara carefully drops hints to the real story of this family. Love it!

SKYLAR is such a beautiful, touching monologue. Visiting the grave of a loved one week after week, year after year must surely become routine. I have been there, I have read the engravings on the other headstones. So many stories assigned to history. So what I love most about this piece is that the protagonist looks into the lost futures of these souls, especially a three year olds. Such a lovely notion.
Thank you for writing this Samara.

I was lucky enough to listen to an online reading of this touching and moving play by Jaxson. When two good friends are tested by an interloper to their relationship, of course it can become strained. Jaxson stretches this by having said interloper, in this case Allison, with her own complex and moving reason to be there.
An excellent look into the complexities of friendships, with so many layers. Great work!
