  • Christopher Plumridge: THE RAISINS GO WITH THE NUTS (ten-minute play)

    The strained relationship between mother and daughter, thrown together due to the pandemic, comes out in near explosive fashion in this short play. Only the tired nurse can sort out this pair. A touching moment nonetheless in a time which tested is all.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Pinkie & Sheila

    Firstly, I need to see this staged, visually it would be spectacular and hilarious! But behind the clown facade there is a hint of sadness, isn't there always when clowns are involved? And Dr Herbert's solution is inspired, great fun!
    (BTW, forgive my daft imagination, I couldn't help but imagine Dr Hibbert from the Simpsons, Marge being Sheila, long suffering wife of Homers clown!)

  • Christopher Plumridge: We Got Married

    At no point in this fun short play do you actually believe the marriage stands, but A and B certainly have their doubts as C plays cupid! I admire the simple formatting, allowing anyone to be cast. Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Rules of the Sisterhood

    Oh stay clear of this Sisterhood! Cringeworthy and scary in equal measure, then the twist at the end just makes it worse! A great fun dark comedy short, love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Big Black Giraffe

    Ha! This is a fun little play, or rather a big black giraffe of a play! Vickies lack of reaction is a perfect contrast to Joeys total panic. But in the end, I couldn't help feel sorry for the said giant giraffe, maybe its not out to destroy the world!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Ashley

    There is something magical about a silent movie, a silent play too. Here in this short by Cathro, we are taken right up to date with the clever visuals of social media being played out above Ashley's woeful destruction. Any actor playing Ashley will surely have a lot of fun in this role, and make one hell of a mess! I'd love to see it staged!

  • Christopher Plumridge: THE JUGGLER - MONOLOGUE

    Being one of 4 children I'm sure my own mother felt like this at times, in fact I remember being told to "do it myself !" A fun believable monologue about a juggling mum who you just know loves her family nonetheless!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Big Date

    What brilliant yet crazy imagination bought about this fun and silly play?! I would love to see this staged, with lots of tiny buildings and perhaps a remote control helicopter in the hands of a skilled pilot! Treat yourself to a Busser comedy, you'll be laughing out loud throughout!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Bronte's Mom

    Being guilty as a fur dad myself I can totally relate to this couple and l their love for Bronte, even if she has destroyed an expensive shoe! This is a sweet two hander with a sadness behind it, but the love they have for each other (and Bronte of course!) is real and beautiful. Nice!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Dear Prime Minister

    Writers have a responsibility to write the truth, now matter how hard, or how difficult it is to understand and accept. Rachel does this to great effect, using the lost innocence of a fifteen year old girl tell of her friends, family and neighbours, all in difficult situations bought on by politicians somewhat detached from reality. Although the characters are fictional, there are so many people in similar dire straits. This needs to be told, excellent work!
