  • Christopher Plumridge: Immersion Therapy

    Treat yourself and listen to this fun short play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast, great production!
    It's often said the it's good to face your fears for the best therapy, and David takes this to a whole new level, with a twist which made me laugh out loud!
    Great as an audio, but would be so much funnier staged. Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: TRIGGER

    In TRIGGER it appears that the playwright has swallowed a phobia dictionary!
    The arts are somewhat suppressed by the need for trigger warnings, just when they should be free to express what they want, for fear of offending some precious mite in the audience.
    Paul has written a cracker here, and it has an important message, STUFF CENSORSHIP!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Smile, Baby

    Ha! I love this (very) short play! Lots of ladies attract wolf whistles, whether wanted or not. But pretty soon the tables are turned and the results are divine retribution and really quite funny!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Kangaroo (Ten Minute)

    This is a brave play to take on, and Paul does it justice in his own unique style. What I find interesting (and draw inspiration from) is that it's all recorded in the third person as such, these two friends discussing private matters over coffee (and subtlety funny too)

    I do applaud any playwright prepared to take in a less conventional subject, and prepared to break the rules.

    Bravo!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Vampire Cesario

    Eeire, gothic, atmospheric, a damsel in distress, a vampire in the shadows... you'd think that would be a perfect enough set up for romp of a short play. But Mr Weaver knows better, he has an evil, cruel, wicked and down right hilarious trick up his sleeve! No spoilers here, just read and produce this play so I can come to watch!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Tree

    Jacquies stone circle stories always conjure up magic and make us question ourselves, personally and as humans. Wether there was a tree in the circle or not really isn't the point here, for here we question what we are doing to our planet at an alarming rate. I believe these short plays should be required performances pieces for students.
    And as always, the playwright weaves in her subtle and brilliant humour.
    Nice!

  • Christopher Plumridge: A BLAST

    Oh this is clever! Once again two characters find themselves on Paul's Park bench, it's not clear why they are there and what their business is.... Until the very ending which will surprise any audience, I for one did not see that coming at all!
    Great interaction between the two, especially once you realise just who they are.
    Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Berenstain Bearadox

    Ha! This poor father finding out he's been wrong, all his life, no wonder he's plunged into a sudden crisis!
    A quick witted monologue which slides down that slope to realisation, and a great line at the end.
    And being a Brit, there are also a lot of similar differences in one shared language. Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: MASKED DATING GAME - 10-Minute, speed dating event set amidst a pandemic

    Ha! Is this how masked dating would go? Obviously lockdown has given these singletons much built up frustration and passion!
    A great premise for a fun, perfectly naughty, short play, love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Cat Funeral

    This is a light hearted, slightly off skew, comedy sat against a sad loss, for one character anyway. The onset of technology in ours homes is bound to interfere sooner or later, and this play by Kelly displays this to good effect.
    I've never known passed pet be contacted in this way, if I were to try with one of mine I'm sure they would be annoyed I woke them!
    A bitter-sweet comedy, nice.
