  • Christopher Plumridge: Fanny May Not, Yet

    This play is simply beautiful! I love reading plays about real historic characters or events, and this short play had me entranced throughout, just like Fanny's music must have done to her audiences. Sadly, in her short lifetime she never quite received the accolade she fully deserved. This clever play spans many decades, culminating in Berlin at the time of the wall falling when her work was truly discovered. I wish this play was longer, and I would pay good money to see this performed! Bravo!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Santa Noir

    It's as if I hand in this, given how familiar the characters are to me. Alas not but I am mentioned, and not in kind, but in Moider!
    This is Pie at his best, in a short, slick adaptation of The Christmas Carol with a decent helping of festive song lyrics to keep us laughing!
    Read this at your peril, or rather my peril....

  • Christopher Plumridge: In the Slush

    To tap into Mr Prillaman's mind is a dangerous undertaking, for he will take you on a wild ride with so many bizarre twists and turns you won't know where you are, or where you're going.
    Such is the case in IN THE SLUSH. You think you know where this is going, then BAM you're wrong. No spoilers here, suffice to say this is Prime Prillaman, so get on a read this, better still, produce it....if you dare.
    Brilliant!

  • Christopher Plumridge: TODAY'S POTATOES ARE FROM LINCOLNSHIRE

    Once again Julie shows us her great knack of nailing a short play, with fine detail and a sucker punch of a final line.
    In this snappy short, the past comes back to British fish & chip shop owner Charles and thankfully busty Bridget lends him a helping hand.
    Now, I can't hep feeling a little responsible for poor Clancy the Homing Pigeons untimely demise....

  • Christopher Plumridge: Facing Creation

    FACING CREATION is a poetic fable, a test of and against their God.
    Beautifully written and spellbinding, this play would make for a wonderful challenge in story telling, costumes and most challenging, staging.
    A caring production will fascinate any audience. Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: IF THE WALLS COULD TALK - one minute play

    The mark of a great one minute play is that it leaves so much to the imagination and opens up a door to a much longer play.
    Julie brings us one such short, where audiences will think they have tapped into a Poe play. This audience of one demands an encore, preferably in the form a one act play, such is the presence of horror here. In short, MORE PLEASE!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Tales of the Utterly Mundane

    This is such a clever two hander, I love how, on the surface, it lives up to its name, but there are also some fantastic one liners which make this clandestine meeting far from mundane!
    A game show host starting and ending this episode in typical exaggerated style, makes this a slightly surreal short play, which I would pay good money to see.
    Love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Green Olive Soap

    Such an intriguing monologue as there are so many questions to ask of it. This reads akin to Kafkas Metamorphosis, but somewhat in reverse.
    This would make a great performance piece for an actor, and there are many ways it can be staged.
    Fascinating!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Just A Spy

    I love plays written about lesser known real characters from history, they bring their stories to life. Danielle introduces us to Sonia Butt in an atmospheric two hander, full of tension and revelation.
    Treat yourself to the film made by Tony Gilbert.
