  • Christopher Plumridge: WEATHER GIRL - a monologue

    You can't help feel for this weather girl, and many others surely. She's doing her nest to forge a career, she tries to reinvent herself.... but the corporate tv company holds her back.
    This is an honest, heartfelt monologue and you feel for the protagonist. I do hope she finds herself a more fulfilling career.
    Great work.

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Alexander

    What starts as a homage to Rear Window, slowly, menacingly, turns much darker.
    From the master of horror, comes another uncomfortable look into the darker side of humanity, this time in the disused rooms of The Alexander Hotel.
    Then the ending..... Wow!

  • Christopher Plumridge: EVERYBODY HATES MARIAH CAREY

    Drawn to this play by the title, (I don't hate Mariah Carey, just THAT song) I had to take a read.
    It's a darkly funny interaction of one-up-manship as tales of previous holiday seasons are shared between friends.
    I love the way the second story escalates from a simple, uncooked Christmas turkey to its tragic end.

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Prisoner or Her Majesty's Cousin

    Ha! This play is hilariously naughty with enough innuendo to land you in prison!
    Reading this felt like a lost episode of the British sitcom, Blackadder the 2nd.
    So very funny and plenty to lose your head over!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Ugly Doctor Hospital

    This being a radio play and all.... Is Busser at his hilarious best! Even more so by the fact that the characters are questioning the writer and are having to fill the gaps and improvise. This is clever stuff!
    This would make for a very funny radio play, especially if recorded in front of a live audience. Brilliant!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Spider Infestation Problem is Mostly Resolved

    Ha! This is a hilarious short play by the expert pen of Mr Lawing!
    Just when they think a spider infestation is under control, they soon realise they are a man down, not really a problem, surely... but what follows is a lot of fun and potential doom for poor L.G.
    This would be so much fun to stage!

  • 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!
