  • Olly Olly Oxen Free by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    25 Nov. 2023
    “ What I love about Jacquie's stone circle series is that there is so much open to interpretation. This short play is a fine example, for me it leaves me pondering: are we really safe in our own safe space, in our own stone circle? What if we leave, or someone joins us in our comfort place, is our security jeopardised? Add to this the playwrights skill in horror and you have a truly great, short, chilling mystery to watch.
    Wonderful! ”
  • Two Cats Explain the Monstrous Moth Group by Ian Thal
    22 Nov. 2023
    “ Ha! We all know cats are in charge, they dominate and rule. These two cats in question embark o quite a complicated discussion with their owner, excuse me, I mean servant of course, and the results are hilarious.
    I love the primitive language of the kitten and it's elder doing their best to teach it proper English. This play would be so much fun to stage.
    Great fun! ”
  • Alien Move Night by Connie Dinkler
    22 Nov. 2023
    “ Haha, a fun night out at the movies for these two aliens, one looking for promotion, the other just out for a good time and some cornpop.
    The cashier is perfectly understated, she's seen such fans in alien costumes plenty of times before. Also the twist is clever.

    Great fun! ”
  • I Knew It! by Scott Sickles
    22 Nov. 2023
    “ I KNEW IT would be good, especially from the expert pen of Mr Sickles, but this exceeded my expectations.
    Francesca's misguided berating of young Jodilyn is truly scathing and totally hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing while imagining Stephanie Beecham in the role! And in true Sickles-style there is an element of sadness and acceptance in both characters, making you laugh with them and wanting to comfort them too.... but maybe not in bed. As highlighted in other recommendations, there are some fantastic new phrases and put downs here!
    Brilliant! ”
  • THE BRIDAL WAVE by Melissa Milich
    15 Nov. 2023
    “ I have just listened to this play on the wonderful Open Door Playhouse podcast. It's sharp, poetic, lyrical and darkly funny. I commend the playwright on shedding light on a moment in history, in such a unique and funny way. Do read or have a listen. ”
  • Why the Hell is it so Hard to Write a Recommendation on NPX? A Monologue by Izzy Salant
    10 Nov. 2023
    “ Spot on!
    I mean, what else do I say?
    I'm drained.... I put all my efforts into the six plays I've started of which only one is finished.....
    Eeek....!
    Well done Izzy, you've captured the many thoughts of many writers!

  • New, From the Makers of LaffTrax... by John Busser
    6 Nov. 2023
    “ I cant help feeling like the hero of this piece...why only today I actually wore a white lab coat at work....
    In true BUSSER brilliantness, John serves up a miracle cure for malaise, upset Billy the Kid, threw in a who's who of playwrights, and concocted one hilarious short play.
    I also love the way this is staged, a wonderful amalgamation of suburban life and television advertising.
    "Now get some BUSSER into your work-a-day lives, just take a MorNorkin!" ”
  • Psychelysis by Russell Adams
    5 Nov. 2023
    “ In true Noel Coward style, Russell delivers us such a sweet and elegant short play here. Set in a slightly higher than average French restaurant, Julia (soft J) delivers what would normally be a potential blow to her admirer Gerald (Soft G?).
    Light and fluffy as a perfect soufflé,this play is a total delight! ”
  • The Best Decade - 2 minute monoloue by D. Lee Miller
    2 Nov. 2023
    “ I can just imagine Noreen narrating this short monologue as she arranges her flowers. She's bright, wary, clever and has lots of bugs.... but this cute meet proves a sweet way to get rid of the creepy crawlers once and for all! Lovely! ”
  • QUICKSAND, a one person play by Sam Heyman
    30 Oct. 2023
    “ A metaphor for so many feelings I'm sure, for the impact of this piece is as deep as the sand, and the predicament the protagonist finds themselves in.
    This would make a great audition piece, as there are several ways to tackle it.
    Very good. ”
