    There is something magical about a silent movie, a silent play too. Here in this short by Cathro, we are taken right up to date with the clever visuals of social media being played out above Ashley's woeful destruction. Any actor playing Ashley will surely have a lot of fun in this role, and make one hell of a mess! I'd love to see it staged!
  • THE JUGGLER - MONOLOGUE
    6 Nov. 2022
    Being one of 4 children I'm sure my own mother felt like this at times, in fact I remember being told to "do it myself !" A fun believable monologue about a juggling mum who you just know loves her family nonetheless!

    What brilliant yet crazy imagination bought about this fun and silly play?! I would love to see this staged, with lots of tiny buildings and perhaps a remote control helicopter in the hands of a skilled pilot! Treat yourself to a Busser comedy, you'll be laughing out loud throughout!
  • Bronte's Mom
    6 Nov. 2022
    Being guilty as a fur dad myself I can totally relate to this couple and l their love for Bronte, even if she has destroyed an expensive shoe! This is a sweet two hander with a sadness behind it, but the love they have for each other (and Bronte of course!) is real and beautiful. Nice!
  • Dear Prime Minister
    6 Nov. 2022
    Writers have a responsibility to write the truth, now matter how hard, or how difficult it is to understand and accept. Rachel does this to great effect, using the lost innocence of a fifteen year old girl tell of her friends, family and neighbours, all in difficult situations bought on by politicians somewhat detached from reality. Although the characters are fictional, there are so many people in similar dire straits. This needs to be told, excellent work!
  • Justin Thyme III
    5 Nov. 2022
    Haha! Add an Uber and an argumentative Siri to all the fun and confusing names and you have yet another fabulously funny installment of Justin Thyme! This would be so fun to stage, using just the center of the stage, the characters sliding from side to side in the car with flashing lights behind, brilliant!!
  • Justin Thyme II
    5 Nov. 2022
    More brilliant hilarity, this time in the confines of a high speed train. The pace and hilarious word play make these chapters of the intrepid Justin Thyme addictive. I love the names of each character and the confusion which always ensues! Even the Conductor is a wonderful, a French accent but doesn't speak French ha!
    New character suggestion from me.... IVANA REEDMORE....
  • Blood Pact

    I had the honour of reading the character Philip in a zoom reading, I choose the word honour rather than pleasure, for this Philip is a dark character in a dark play. Kudos to Debra for taking on such a story and making it feel chillingly real, one can't help relate this to Fred and Rosemary West, infamous in the UK. Excellent.
  • STAR TRIPS!

    Ha! Right from take-off we're plunged into manic insanity and a wonderful take off of Star Trek! If only William Shatner could star in this! Great fun, when is the next episode?
  • Teddy

    I love this Teddy! He has such a fabulous attitude and wit! The interaction between Mr Talksalot and Oakley is moving, natural... well as natural as it can be with a bear with such a high vocabulary. Aside, Martin shows us the deep love Oakleys parents had had for them, and they had for their parents, departed too soon, and the grief is present yet not overpowering. Totally wonderful! (p.s. I love the notes for portraying Teddy at the start - fab!)
