  • A Sentimental Journey by Susanna Bezooyen
    13 Aug. 2022
    “ Susanna has painted such a beautiful picture of affection and loves lost in this heart-rending two hander. How many stories like this must have come out of the second world war. Such a beautiful short play, do give it a read! ”
  • Sisters from the Same Mister by Debra A. Cole
    13 Aug. 2022
    “ Debra takes a difficult situation, in this case a meeting of siblings previously unknown to each other, and tackles it sensitively and realistically, there's no Disney reunion here and in reality how likely would that be in this situation? Its difficult, awkward, but slowly gets back on track as the three sisters come to terms with each other and their respective parents pasts. Very good! ”
  • Sex Lives of Circus Freaks by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    13 Aug. 2022
    “ Sometimes I'm drawn to and purchase a bottle of wine just because the label attracted me, only to be let down by sub standard wine. Equally I was drawn to this play by its title, but inside I enjoyed a sophisticated glass of dark humour, subtle notes of sarcasm and a full body of young love. I enjoyed Rebekahs character the most as she has the funniest lines, and cheeky Cassidy is a delight. Pop the cork to this vintage Floyd-Priskorn and enjoy its suble notes! ”
  • Leaving by Karen Fix Curry
    11 Aug. 2022
    “ This is clever, such a fast paced monologue which feels like it's a transcript of a recording made by this wife and young mother. To me it seems as if it were written in one take with little editing, the writer just let her protagonist rant. A great piece for a strong female actor. Wonderful. ”
  • Last Laugh by Morey Norkin
    10 Aug. 2022
    “ The last laugh goes to Morey for writing such a clever, sweet, tender, funny two hander. I have read several of this authors great plays, but this one stands out and hats off to him for putting so much research into this piece. I love the relationship between these two, on and off the stage. Read this! Produce this! ”
  • Will You Be Home For Christmas? by Elle Milewski
    9 Aug. 2022
    “ The title of this warm and tender play, a simple question, takes on a big meaning in this two hander by Elle. The sheer love these two teenagers have for each other is stunning, poignant and realistic. Beautiful and touching, you root for Josh and do hope he makes it to Christmas. ”
  • The madness of George King by David Patton
    9 Aug. 2022
    “ I'll never look at a ceiling rose in the same way again. Patton has a remarkable way of gritty, merciless story telling and this is no exception. The formatting of this monologue makes it clear for the actor taking on this tough play about multiple personality disorders, all arguing over a light fitting and the stories which spin off of it! It would surely make a great, yet uncomfortable festival piece. ”
  • THE MADNESS OF MEMORY (from the MAD FOR MYSTERY Collection) by Vivian Lermond
    9 Aug. 2022
    “ The Madness of Memory is such a fitting title for this play and for the brutal and merciless condition that is dementia. Here Lermond depicts perfectly the confusing and mashed up memories of the mother and the ever tested patience of her daughter. You side with both, you feel for both and this play is tender yet does not hide from the harsh reality of the condition. Very moving, especially as so many families have this type of conversation every day. This is a must read. ”
  • Plastic by Nilsa Reyna
    8 Aug. 2022
    “ In this moving, rhythmic, poetic and visual piece, Reyna suggests this could be set as soon as the year 2030. Are we really that close to the greatest downfall to bestow Earth? At times darkly funny, but the seriousness of our situation is played out strikingly well here. ”
  • Service Animal by Nilsa Reyna
    8 Aug. 2022
    “ I love this little play, it's beautiful! Julian, a support dog, is the star of the piece, he's clever, witty and a good boy. I was also pleasantly surprised at the twist in the dialogue at the end, very clever! ”
