  • 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

    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!!
  • The Age of Understanding or, The Character of Dad
    21 Jul. 2022
    What starts as a humorous exchange between father and his baby son, slowly turns into something quite deep and beautiful! You feel for this father as he recounts his resentment of his own dad. But the real beauty is the ending, when his partner walks back in the room, very clever, read it for yourself. Lovely!

    My answer to Penny Dryers final question in this short, sweet monologue is simply YES! A clever, touching short and I love it.
  • Candy Store: A Ten-Minute Play
    17 Jul. 2022
    This wonderful short play is a kind of sexy, coffee inspired, film noir! I love the way she speaks the whole narrative seemingly unaware that the baristas can hear everything she is saying, brilliant!
  • The Wrinkle Ranch (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)

    Oh these trio of Jezabels are totally naughty and hilarious! As with any comedy on such a theme, this play is incredibly funny and incredibly uncomfortable in equal measure! Great characters with wonderful minds, brilliant!

    I can just picture the four-way zoom screen as these mad characters at first follow their 'script'. But slowly their real stories come to light and they are not all they seem, but in a fun way. Four great, cleverly worked out characters have such a wonderful raport in this fun play. Great!
  • Come Away

    If this brilliant short play by Foster didn't have such a sad theme of tense relationship between mother and daughter, it would be quite funny. By which I mean I love the totally unique way in which the author allows Meredith to stop time in order to tell the audience what she really thinks. Very good!
  • Scared
    17 Jul. 2022
    The initial rhyme in this place cuts to the core and will surely have the audience gripped immediately. Wyn has described perfectly in this piece how must all feel in such circumstances, and no matter how we try to protect the young from the true horror, we are all scared. Excellent work which needs to be performed.
  • Fireworks or Gunshots
    17 Jul. 2022
    This cleverly written short play, with its simply named characters, depicts the immediate reactions of shock and disbelief of an ongoing event perfectly. Very intense, disturbing, excellent!
