Wow, there's so much back story here trying to show its ugly head, and Douglas subtly shows us hints of the past without making them the running theme of the play.

Aside, there is generational progression here, Big Jake has (unintentionally) racism in his blood, the type that is instilled in people of a certain age, so thankfully his son helps him to start to see the light, albeit in 2 grey shirts!

One of the best lines I've read in a play: " What is it? I'm shovelling rats out here"

Excellent!

What could go wrong in seven minutes in a closet with a boy? Quite a lot, or so it seems! These best friends for life give us a fun, frenetic play where the mystery builds as to the 'condition' of the boy in the closet.
There's some surprises along the way, but not as big as the the question mark at the end of 'the end'....
Is this the end? This audience, for one, wants more. Great!

THE UNFILLABLE is a deeply dark tale, grim, disgusting... yet addictive.
A wonderful performance for two eager actors to delve into, this offers some passionate and heavy (not in lenght) monologues.
A compelling read that would be so striking to see staged.

Time travel by means of potatoes and a thermos flask, before and after the pandemic? Why not? Haha, this is such a funny romp backwards and forwards and the confusion the two characters have is totally understandable.
Many of us are fascinated by time travel, so James' 11:11 is a must read, in fact I read it before he wrote it.
Great fun!

A testament to a brilliant comedic writer is when you laugh at the very title! This is one funny short which would be a hoot to stage. John even brings new meaning to 'good cop - bad cop'.
Poor Bette thinks she's left on the shelf, or should I say roof?
Will these cops manage to coax her down?

Another box of Busser brilliance....!

Desperate and emotional from the very opening stage directions, THE PROMISE really packs a punch and needs to be told. Marilyn has taken a very difficult subject and has thrown it into the faces of the audience, so there's nowhere to hide. Indeed such despicable perpetrators should have nowhere to hide either.
Excellently told with 3 strong characters.

There's something spooky about fare grounds, especially late on in the day when all others have left.
Here, in GHOST TOUR, Lou brings us a short but chilling tale of friends in such a situation, trying to enjoy their ghost tour, but is their guide who they make themselves out to be....?
Great!

Whoa! A sexy game of chess, of love, of check mate... or two moves from check mate that is. The dialogue is slick, sensual, playful, so much going on on the chess board, but much more away from it.
Are these two in the early stages of something illicit, immoral... maybe... Read it for yourself, better still, stage it!
Check mate.

It's true, theatres, more specifically stages, become spooky at night. Add the Ghost Light and a couple of hopeful spirit hunters and you have the perfect set up for a spooky short.
Soon enough Bridgette and Xander start to hear nosises coming from the spirit box and what follows is genuinely scary. As with many ten minute plays, I'd love to see this as a longer play. Great!

MOTHER is such a fun few minutes, read this, better still watch the production on YouTube! For not only is this written so well, but it's acted superbly by the playwright herself along with the talented 'baby' Mark Holden.
It's not clear where this play is heading, but slowly and hilariously it unfolds to reveal a perfect ending. Love it!
