This is a true, honest, raw account of a first time meet of strangers, now neighbours, in the midst of a pandemic. Both characters are true and believable, audiences will feel for them both. If Covid taught us anything, it taught us to talk to folks we usually recognise but pass in the street without saying a word. This is captured sensitively in Pauls short play.

Brent has come up with a wonderful idea for a perfectly dark after life comedy here. Poor Tommy is in Limbo, a limbo which sees him in a rather dull office building, yet he's faced with a difficult choice.
The premise for this play is fun, as a result the playwright gets to gift us some fun scenarios along the way, especially about the various 'sightings' of Elvis.
Not sure I want to be a giraffe though....

Any production can really go to town producing this dark, short play by Brent, such is the atmospheric staging he suggests. Also this play would present a wonderful and exciting challenge to both key characters, especially the mysterious Nina.

An excellent and haunting short play, I love it.

And I can't leave this recommendation without highlighting one of the best lines I've read in a play for a while: 'Things don't seem as dark when you're already dressed in black.'

I love an opening line which gets you hooked and this play by Skye is a fine example. Two characters sitting round an open fire, a simple premise, but here there is so much back story, much regret and at it's heart love. Love can be a draw and a bind, stand it up against such extreme factors as in this play, then it becomes quite painful for both.
And credit to the playwright for giving us such a great, fresh perspective. Love it!

How lovely this play is!
There's a certain, very famous musical which begins with a music box and the memories it holds. Tom's play is sweet, atmospheric and evokes such personal memories, and along with perfectly selected music, will make for a very moving short play. Wonderful!

Wow, this is clever stuff! I love how each scene moves swiftly along, seamlessly merging each new character as it does.
I see this as a challenging piece of performance drama, a play which could be acted out by drama students, because there's so much to be experimented with here. Unique!

Family relationships can often be fractured, especially when neither side back down and insist on persisting in their own toxic ways.
It can take time together, with no distractions, to try to overcome this and make peace.
In THE CHANGE the playwright shows this perfectly in a difficult but ultimately sweet short two hander.

This is a great little monologue, which starts out along the lines of Four Weddings and a Funeral, but to my joy it turns all Alanis!
Isn't it ironic!
The realisation of just who he was flirting with must have gone down like a jagged little pill.
Let's hope there was an uninvited guest he could have hooked up with.
Love it!

Ha ha ha ha! This is brilliant to be sure!
These leprechaun are tricky little blighters as we are well aware, well so should the two travelers stopping for a well earned sleep be aware too.
No spoilers here, suffice to say I love the ending! Ha!

I love this short two hander! Jillian balances the siblings characters perfectly, and as what starts out as a simple family rivalry, turns into something much deeper.
The ending is perfect too. I think this would be ideal for a student group as part of a festival.
Very good!
