  • Feeling Batty by Cole Hunter Dzubak
    26 Aug. 2022
    “ This two hander by Cole is indeed batty in the best possible way, I could just imagine this as a Two Ronnie's sketch! A very funny premise, two great characters and a wonderful twist I didn't see coming! Gloriously Vampish and hilarious! Bravo! I want to stage this! ”
  • North by North Pole by Maury Zeff
    24 Aug. 2022
    “ This unique play by Zeff is dark, strange and hilarious! Such a wonderful, varied cast of characters, a Hitchcock character turned elf, a femme fetale Ms Clause amongst several, but my favourite is this years toy which is capable of world domination! Wonderful! ”
  • Ghost Light by Cassidy Byron
    22 Aug. 2022
    “ GHOST LIGHT is such a sweet monologue as we see Keagan alone on the stage trying desperately to have a conversation with the theatre ghost. What I love most is the ending, we are left to draw our own conclusions, I know I have mine. The setting and stage directions give this a real mood, a spooky atmosphere. I will give this the best comment I could give to any: I wish I had written it! ”
  • The Candidate (girl version) by Elin Hampton
    21 Aug. 2022
    “ THE CANDIDATE is a great short play for a youth group to perform, Hampton has given all three perfectly believable characters and as a result their conversation is totally believable, natural. I have a good feeling Faith will become class president, she's clever, witty and savvy. Nice! ”
  • Femme Noir by Allie Costa
    20 Aug. 2022
    “ What a refreshing take this is on the Noir genre, not just by having a female private investigator, but also the clever way in which Costa displays her sideline characters. I really enjoyed this short play and the plot line, with its twists and turns holds up well. Great! ”
  • Holding On by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    18 Aug. 2022
    “ I'm taken aback at how cleverly this play is written, how each line is crafted together, for most of the scene, to flow as a dialogue, but in time the heart-breaking truth shows through. Rachel has really touched on an emotive issue here and treated it as carefully and tenderly as the nurse has within this script. I'm moved, I think any audience will be too. Emotional and excellent, this story will stay with me. ”
  • The Time You Were Away (a monologue) by Scott Sickles
    18 Aug. 2022
    “ Oh this is so sinister, so disturbing, yet you still see the love from the older sibling. You can't help admiring Justine's clever ploy, yet at the same time you're appalled. This is clever writing. It will also be a wonderful audition piece for an ambitious actor. Brilliant! ”
  • Time Travelers Can Apply Yesterday by John Busser
    18 Aug. 2022
    “ Whenever I want a proper laugh, a real pick me up, I turn to a Busser! This play is brilliantly confusing and totally hilarious! Aside, it it also very clever, the author has worked hard on every line to get the confusion spot on and I hugely admire that. And credit to any group of actors who can take this script on, they will find it hard but the rewards will be an audience in hysterics! Superb! Very Monty Python!
    And I've resisted time travel jokes in this recommendation! ”
  • Fakers by Hannah Land
    18 Aug. 2022
    “ FAKERS By Hannah Land is a frightening insight into the online world of cyber bullying in a seemingly innocent fandom sight. Poor Autumn gets caught up in it all as events take place, quicker in this cyber world we now live in. How quickly we can become misunderstood when events in the media change so quick. The author makes the reader sympathize with Autumn and the ending is very moving. Very good! ”
  • Crack by Cassidy Byron
    18 Aug. 2022
    “ 'If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise' Well certainly passerby Kate got her surprise. This is darkly funny with a great twist at the end. Dig yourself into this play before someone catches you! ”
