  • 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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: PIE-LICIOUS: OPEN TIL MIDNIGHT

    This play is so hilarious, so dark, so full of pie and I love it!
    Once you've had a taste of this pie, there's no going back, you will hunt down Pie-Licious, open til midnight, at whatever cost.
    Favourite stage direction: A pie appears, who knows how, let a director figure it out. Brilliant!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Dustin

    In just ten minutes Joe brings us a powerful, gritty, emotional and desperately sad play. So many people seem to follow in their parents footsteps, usually through no fault of their own.
    It takes a strong will to overcome such an influence. I praise the playwright for taking on a real life story and handling it so sensitively.
    I have been lucky enough to call Joe a friend (albeit virtually), and I know he has the strong will to overcome his own troubled past, which makes him a suitable writer (for want of a better word) for this important story.

  • Christopher Plumridge: TWO OLD MEN SITTING ON A BENCH (a 10 minute comedy)

    These two old men sitting in a bench must be the epitome of a deep, long held friendship. One grieving, one supportive, both dealing with old age in their own similar ways.
    I could watch these old gentlemen chat away for ages. Wonderful.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Many Moons Ago (A Garden Party Story)

    I would love to spend some time in Hannahs mind, for it must be such a beautiful, magical place. Once again she brings us a wonderful, whimsical, gorgeous play based on an old nursery rhyme. There are so many hints of running away, but sadly they have not been picked up on. At least that is my take on it.
    I need to read more Garden Party Stories, for sure!

  • Christopher Plumridge: ELLIE AND LIZ GO TO A SEX CLUB - a one-minute play

    Haha! Kazan, along with her dodgy Russian accent, have been ousted in the funniest way! This is a very funny play, all crammed into one saucy minute! Also this would be so much fun to stage!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Experts

    What a great, wonderful pretense! A woman being interviewed about the murder is nothing new, but she has a knife with her, a real, walking, talking murderous knife!
    But did she do it, did the knife do it, will the detective figure this out?
    Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: 1900s Women Bonding

    This short play would be hilarious (and indeed it is) if it were not such a true reflection of life for women in the early 1900's.
    The whimsy of these two ladies conversation on their porch is a true delight and you can't help but feel sorry for them, yet admire their resolve.
    Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Bits N Pieces

    Firstly I would not want to be Lindsays ex. Pity them!
    BITS N PIECES is an excellent, dark monologue which would give a challenge for a young actor to explore, for the character is so robust, yet insecure and powerful, all wrapped together in a complex way.
