    Ah Zombie dad has arrived on the scene determined to be todays hero! Brilliant and funny in equal measure. I hope there will be more Zombie monologues from this talented writer, I for one cannot get enough!
  • Suburban Zombie Princess
    25 Jul. 2022
    No one can write a Zombie play as well as Jacquelyn! Having read her brilliant play, THE ROT (which you must read!) I can't help thinking this is a wonderful spin off! If we ever get over run with zombies in the future I will be reminded that they were once people too and deserve respect. I love this and what a fun, unexpected final line! Wonderful!
  • A Complicated Hope
    25 Jul. 2022
    I was compelled to read this play by the very skillful playwright John Mabey, given the amount of awards and productions it's rightfully recieved. John describes to us a tale of complicated hope as well as complicated grief and complicated emotions. This is truly an excellent, compelling and moving play, all that with just three, albeit complex, characters. Excellent.
  • The Ladies of The Colourful Society
    24 Jul. 2022
    In this bright play Rachel has given her ladies every colour in the spectrum to play with, which provides them with some very funny lines! I feel quite tangerine reading this! That aside this play is an accurate insight to the world of British amatuer drama Committees. You'd be very grey to miss out on this ....
  • Everything in its place
    24 Jul. 2022
    Once again Rachel has taken inanimate objects and given them life in an expert, yet sweet way. Here we watch Ted and chums try to ensure everything has its place in a time of upheaval. Running through this piece is the importance of friendship and how you really can and should be there for someone even if you don't see eye to eye! The costume department should have a challenge kitting out this play too!
  • Round Yon Virgin

    Haha this is such wonderful, naughty fun, like a flipped version of the film Bad Santa! How many teenage boys would love to sit on this particular Santas lap!? Unique and hilarious !!
  • Narcissa, Narcissa
    22 Jul. 2022
    This is such a clever, unique idea for a play which would be striking yet simple to stage. How often have we looked in the mirror for the answers yet find the replies difficult to listen to. 'What if it hurts' 'What if it heals'
    Beautiful.
  • Tag on Toe
    22 Jul. 2022
    Ah, bless Kay for her patience in this conversation play! This is a fascinating look into two vastly different opinions and I for one, rightly or wrongly, took a side, but as a step father myself, I feel I'm justified. Both characters are truly believable and I felt as I were in the office with them. Great!
  • Ghost Light
    21 Jul. 2022
    Following a painfully long spell of theatre closures where the ghost light remained, eirily on, on many stages, this play takes us one step further. What if the ghosts of our colleagues remain, playing to their own audience in the next life? "(Paradise) for me it's spending every day making theatre with my friends"
    I love this play, read it! Produce it!
  • My Zombie Valentine
    21 Jul. 2022
    Haha, finally we have a way to combat Zombies! I love this brutally short, hilarious and fast paced Zombie play far more than I love valentines day itself. Brilliant fun!!
