  • Christopher Plumridge: What we need at the end of the day…

    In just a few pages this excellent play hits hard. It is always difficult to say goodbye, but when there is so much hurt and so much left unsaid, it's difficult to forgive, and therefore to say those goodbyes.
    The dialogue Brian uses is intense, close, gritty, yet there is so much live hear which is still apparent.
    So moving.

  • Christopher Plumridge: ETA Hoffmann’s Vampirismus

    I am not familiar with the original story on which Julia has written this play, but I can attest to the intensity she has infused into this piece. The dialogue is swift and sleek, the scenes roll effortlessly and the characters draw you into the story perfectly. I do look forward to reading more of this playwrights work, and suggest you do too.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Just Right

    This short play by Megan is way beyond JUST RIGHT, it's wonderful, moving, emotional and heartwarming!
    Goldilocks and Baby Bear meet up years later on a date and there are confessions to be made.
    The descriptions and costumes described for both characters are so fitting, and any production would be best advised to follow them sympathetically, for then this play would be beautiful to watch.
    I love this play so much!

  • Christopher Plumridge: QUICK FAVOR (A MONOLOGUE)

    What a wonderful, fast paced monologue this is, it reads like one giant long sentence and you feel the urgency the protagonist Rollo feels as they describe what was an old restaurant but is now a bar of some kind as he meets an alien, or something like an alien but the MIB guys arrive and now he has to hide for a while.

    See what I did there?! A wonderful monologue, love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: STAGE DIRECTIONS

    As an actor and director I have come across some bizarre and opaque stage directions, but none more so than in this fun play by Fowkes. The stage detections actor 1 reads out, followed by the same read by actor 2, are implausible but very funny. Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Telling Dad (Ten Minute)

    TELLING DAD is such a sweet play set against some awful prejudice and misunderstanding. Young Billie is going to have a tough time ahead of her, but she has her sisters support and the love and compassion of her dad. This is a gorgeous play in which this dad should get the 'Dad of the Year Award'!
    Have your tissues ready!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Calling

    Poor Lee, they just want to leave the Catholic Church after many years, they have their reasons. But thus follows a frustrating call to the Vatican, annoying automated receptionists and a hard sell to rejoin the church!
    A clever take on telephone helplines, this would make a very funny audio play!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Cold Foam (monologue)

    Usually, the protagonist of a story is one we side on, we want to relate to them, to sympathise with them. Usually. But here we despise this protagonist Sarah, and her actions are despicable. Worse is the fact that she believes she is justified in her actions.
    Sadly there are too many like Sarah in this world still, at a time where many society are doing their best to move on from this horrible nonsense.
    An excellent monologue.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Weekend at Herbie's

    Hahaha, I'm still laughing at the very last line in this great little play!
    Herbie has passed, his friends are in mourning, a detective advises them to stay in town until this is all resolved. Seems straightforward, yes? But no...Hunt would never leave it that obvious.
    I would love to see this staged!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Coffee House Boos

    Some people are so obsessed with ghostly afterlife and spooky presences they will make up anything, especially where a TV show can benefit. Luckily Willow stands between this pushy British host and keeping her own job.
    There are some brilliant twists along the way too. But for me Willow is the hero, she's smart, quick witted and serves up damn fine coffee!
    Great fun!
