  • Christopher Plumridge: Eve Addam’s Tearoom

    I am in awe of writers who can take a snapshot of history, in this case a story based on the sad events which bought about the early demise of the brave young woman, Eva Kotchever. (I thank Lee for raising this fascinating story to me) In this clever two hander, the tables of Eva's cafe are turned, metaphorically and literally. Great.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Yummy Yummy Tacos and Burritos

    This short play is excruciatingly painful yet totally hilarious! I somewhat believe this could have been taken from an episode of Friends. Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: A Day at the Circus (In The Limelight: Short Plays for Large Casts Volume 2: New Classics)

    This day at the circus is a fun, fast paced romp under the big top! What a joy it would be to have such a large cast in a ten minute play, better still if they were real life circus performers! This would be spectacular to watch, love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Mamasaurus

    Poor Peter being caught between his mother and his wife, especially when the latter turns into Momma Bear mode!
    This is a fun short play which addresses generational differences of opinion.
    Anyone lucky enough to watch this play be staged will be treated to a laugh out loud visual surprise! Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Vegetables are Revolting!

    If only everyone around the world could read this play, then maybe we can give peas a chance!
    Morey treats us to a plate full of hilarious vegetables, every line has a pun!
    No I'm Asparagus!

  • Christopher Plumridge: How to Talk to Your Child About BDSM

    Even the title of this play made me chuckle and the play that follows is totally hilarious! Their poor son walking in on his parents in this set up and their reasoning for it are extremely funny, the poor lad soon forgets his nightmare! I would pay good money to see this staged! BRILLIANT!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Aloha Apocalypse (Ten Minute Play)

    If there's a lesson to be learned from this dark yet funny two hander is that it's better to have sex than talk when faced with an imminent apocalypse!
    No doubt in such a situation we will be overwhelmed with so many emotions, but it's the distance from our loved ones which must hurt the most. A great play!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Potato Salad with Raisins (Monologue)

    The fact that there are plays about school shootings is heartbreaking. Paul depicts one mother as she tries to clear up after all the food the well wishing neighbours have donated, a true yet surreal backdrop to the horror which she has had to endure and the grief which follows. Very moving.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Midnight Mass (Monologue)

    So much back story told so vividly in such a short monologue. This is a stunning monologue because although this man's sin is terrible you can't help but understand why he did it, and you back him.
    Also I'm in awe of those who keep their faith, not just in their god but also in humanity, after such awful abuse in the ones they should trust.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Where the Fireworks Come From

    What better setting than waiting outside your house for the 4th July fireworks, for this beautiful two hander Michael has treated us to. Tony and Gabe's conversation is natural yet strained and you can't help feel for them both as they look into the next step in their young lives. A lovely short play.
