This short play throws up an interesting question,at least to this reader. Is Janice's obsession with the unfortunate rodents in her sons yard a means of coping with her grief, or a distraction,maybe both? Either way this is a subtly moving play, heartfelt and gently funny too, which makes it a delight!

This is a fun and clever little play from DC, also a great premise, to look into the mind of someone coming off anesthetic! The doctor and nurse in this piece are soon confronted by a dilemma, while Mister Tubbs spills out his heart to the said docor! Very funny, this would be a hoot to stage!

I always admire writers who can say so much, with so much gravity, in so few words. This monologue from mother to her son is touching and moving, you feel her pain as much as you feel her desperate desire to help her son, and herself, move on in their lives. Simple and beautiful.

Dreams can tell us so much, yet confuse us so much too....says this writer. Joe lays us onto the the therapist couch and tries to find some answers in a unique way. This short play is fast paced, tense, gripping and were left hoping we can be a fly on the wall during their next meeting. Aside, Tammy and Kelli's new relationship is taught, so we're left wondering if the boundary between doctor and patient is crossed. More please!!

Molly Tucker has come up with a clever premise for a longer play, or even a film, in this short play. Students making a fortune teller out of paper, which then decides to tell its own future.... its a great idea, I want more!

This clever short play throws up an interesting question, should student papers enjoy the same freedom of the press as all others? These students, after some well played out discussions and decide to do just that. I would love to see the next chapter in this, the fallout!?
This play would make for a great student production, some meaty roles for them to take on.

As I a reader I often imagine myself in the audience, watching a play play out, sometimes I figure the plot, other times I do not. This clever play had me guessing all along, for the first half I wondered what is actually happening here, then slowly we are made privy to each characters clever plotting. Also Ryan has set this well, on the Staten Island ferry, which adds to the atmosphere. Read this for yourself, it's very clever, smooth and surprising!

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!

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 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!
