  • Christopher Plumridge: I WILL NEVER PLAY HAMLET

    What a character Eric is! We all know an Eric, the nearly was actor, full of talent and ability but never seems to get the big break. Alas poor Eric, we know him well.
    This is a great monologue and subtle wit builds on each line.
    Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: They're In There

    The slow build in tension makes this play so good, so taught, is it all in poor Mr Kaplins head?
    From a playwright of so much brilliant comedy comes this horror curveball. A clever play which challenges reality against mental disturbance. Then there's the killer final line.
    Brilliant! Check out the audio production on THE UGLY RADIO podcast.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Touch Me in the Morning (Ten Minute)

    Haha, this is one funny, confusing bed romp which would be hilarious to stage! Having read this I'm still none the wiser as to what went on here, so audiences may well feel the same, but sure as hell they'll enjoy it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Moonlight Over L.A.

    Dark, atmospheric, moody, full of love yet hate..... and perfectly noir.
    Moonlight Over L.A. is fine writing, as slick as Joe himself. This play had me hooked from the get go as it weaves through the streets and characters of 70s L.A. audiences will be dying to find out how this clever play ends.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Daniel Prillaman Really Likes Kittens

    I've read a few of Mr Prillamans plays, unusually feel sorry for the characters.... so to see that said playwright REALLY loves kittens could be quite disturbing and worrysome!
    This short play is a delight, not just for the main subject, but for the character of Mrs Trelawney Justice, a sheer delight!

  • 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!
