  • Soft Rains by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    1 Mar. 2024
    “ This play is so clever, for throughout it we are made well aware that some awful disease has beset the world (I was secretly hoping for Zombieism (is that a word?) because Jacquie is a master of Zombie plays.) But we never find out exactly what has happened.
    Instead we are treated to a tender moment of two humans sheltering together, and the love stories which emerge between them.
    Dark and beautiful, a mix I love! ”
  • Hot Potato by Michael Westpfahl
    1 Mar. 2024
    “ Ha! This play is totally bonkers in the best way possible!
    Starting as your typical 'stupid young couple go into a strange forest with a camera' scenario, soon turns darker as a very odd game of wheel of fortune is presented to them by a well dressed stranger, naturally...
    This fun, dark, play has lots of potential to be extended too.
    Love it! ”
  • Don't Preach at My Funeral (Ten-Minute Version) by Marshall Logan Gibbs
    27 Feb. 2024
    “ So much grief and hurt comes tumbling out of mother and daughter in this short play by Marshall. It's real, it's hard to read and it's gritty. Credit to the playwright for they have tapped onto the raw emotions and taut family history in just ten minutes.
    This would make a great piece for two strong actors to delve into.
    Excellent. ”
  • A Deadly Proposal by Katie Leeds
    26 Feb. 2024
    “ Ha! I was going to write, "Why isn't there a synopsis?" Thankfully I did not as there is too much fun to be had watching this story unfold. In 8 short pages Katie throws us and her two characters in every direction!

    I would love to see this performed, in the meantime, do give it a read!

    Love it! ”
  • SOLID GOLD (2 minute monologue) by Vivian Lermond
    26 Feb. 2024
    “ Ha, this is one OAP crowd I'd happily rock with!
    Every generation has its own music, its favoured decade, but that doesn't mean to say we can't boogey to anything else, good knees or not! ”
  • I'd Do Anything For Love… But I Won't Do That: A TRIO of 1-Minute Plays by Debra A. Cole
    26 Feb. 2024
    “ Three short one minute plays which gives us something different with each offering. I won't give anything away but there's a great laugh out load moment in the second of these three.
    And no sign of Meatloaf...... ”
  • Life After by Lindsay Partain
    25 Feb. 2024
    “ Lindsay is one of my favourite writers, read COOKIE CUTTER CHRISTMAS and you'll see why, for this playwright has such a knack of making a strange, or difficult situation seem perfectly innocent and natural.
    In LIFE AFTER, Lindsay shows us just how innocent and pure the minds of young children can be.

    But I have one big question, why does her father have Mrs Henderson in his basement????? ”
  • 4 Words of Advice (5 minute play) by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    25 Feb. 2024
    “ Wow! We've all been in the receiving end of varied advice, but to have all this varied, conflicting advice would surely be overwhelming!

    A clever, short experimental piece. Very good. ”
  • GURL TALK by Deb Meyer by Deb Meyer
    25 Feb. 2024
    “ Fun and poetic this short play is also about the many insecurities women often feel, and trying to live up to celebrity hype proves to not always be the best idea.
    Their friendship is so very real as they debate the celebrity magazines.
    As a man.... stay natural ladies, please ”
  • Cocktails by Debra A. Cole
    23 Feb. 2024
    “ Ha!
    For once I feel sorry for the Big Bad Wolf, here he tries to make amends for all his misdemeanors by inviting fellow fairytale characters round for a cocktail party. Innocent enough, surely?
    But what follows is a hilarious misunderstanding.
    Cole has added some really funny quotes and lines here, which will make it a wonderful show to watch. Love it!
