  • Christopher Plumridge: FORGETFULLY YOURS - a monologue

    As writers, we need to write things which need to be told, so I congratulate Monica for this. I have very little understanding of ADHD, so I thank the author for this valuable insite. On an aside, if someone I met on a first date said this to me, I'd say something like: "Thanks for letting me know, now let's go to dinner together." An excellent monologue.

  • Christopher Plumridge: ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER

    This is a sweet two hander, just the kind of conversation which takes place during the preparation for big events, when strangers meet with a common interest. However, if Nathan took the time to listen to his new friend, maybe he would have seen the twist a lot earlier! I would say Paul has done his research, but I'm aware he's a marathon runner himself. Bravo nonetheless!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Happy Holidays?

    So this is what happens if you personify the seasons and its holidays! Poor Anna stuck in the middle of all this melee as one by one each holiday or season tests her patience with their own over inflated egos! And it's a sign of the times that even Black Friday gets a role, poor Black Friday has to go back out, the day after Thanksgiving has over indulged, for one day more....
    Great fun with several deeper meanings. Nice!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Name of Action

    What a fun trio of characters make up this short dark comedy, a herbalist,a bone carver and best of all a caravan park manager with an unusual syndrome! I was lucky enough to watch an online reading of this play which bought it to life perfectly. Great work!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Feminine Care

    YES! There should be instructions for men in such aisles for ladies products, this will reduce embarrassment no end! I'm a step father, thankfully to two boys so I've only faced this predicament on rare shopping missions for my wife and no matter how hard I tried, I nearly always got it wrong! You've hit the nail on the head, spot on Mr Weaver!

  • Christopher Plumridge: It Couldn’t Happen Here - A Script In A Day

    The title of this play alone sums up our misguided sense of security, it could happen anywhere. We're all guilty of seeing pandemics in third world countries and think it couldn't happen here, now with events in Ukraine it suddenly becomes all too real. I admire how swiftly the playwright delves deep into this story, as quick as the takeover of our country itself. Excellent albeit difficult reading.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Five, Six, Seven, Eight

    I love this little Zoom play, it would be so much fun to act out online! Maryanne is so enthusiastic while Clyde is far less so as they embark on their latest 'couples' venture. Roxy proves a fun character in the middle, I would love to see her in full costume casually strumming her ukulele....which I can assure you is not a euphemism!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Closing Doors

    In the UK our schools have fire drills, in Japan they have earthquake drills, it's sad to believe that there are such things as active shooter drills in any school. This desperate short play by Minigan looks at the conflict which must arise in such situations, where surely there are occasions where there is no right or wrong thing to do. Do you follow the rules or stand my your morals, a tough conflict well tackled. Excellent.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Monsters Beyond the Midnight Zone

    Dark, cold, claustrophobic, tense and downright terrifying, MONSTERS BEYOND THE MIDNIGHT ZONE will drag you down. I listened to this excellent two hander, brilliantly produced by Gather by the Ghost Light. There is a suggestion that this be staged in complete darkness in order to immerse the audience into these scientists predicament, what an amazing idea!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Board

    I have just listened to a wonderful recording of this great play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast. THE BOARD is a meeting of old minds and young, neither ate right or wrong, but these old veteran's make their young compatriot see many things in a whole new light. Eric cleverly uses a chess board to prove his point and bring this to life to excellent effect. Great!
