  • Christopher Plumridge: 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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Scared

    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.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Fireworks or Gunshots

    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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Required Reading

    This is such a sweet, yet action packed mime! Having written one mime, as such, I'm intrigued to read others, and this play is truly Required Reading! Very nice!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Boardwalk Concessions

    Apart from many other valid points raised in other recommendations of this great two hander, Scott explores the etiquette of 'should you eat while someone is talking?'! As an Englishman, I've been in that very predicament and not really known the answer because hunger sways my thoughts.
    Oh and I love the fact that the support rodent hates him! Haha! Great.

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Birds

    Totally ridiculous yet totally brilliant! I have never seen seagulls in this light before and it kind of made perfect sense! Yet behind the hilarity there are several morals being played out here, which is testament to Rachels fine writing ability.
    This would be so much fun to stage!
    Also I would love to find out how Rufus can train a Pidgeon.....!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: 19

    Well, on the 22nd of the month, now many years ago, I turned 22, but this did not happen to me, how I wish it did! This is a fun experimental play, especially when the cast reveal that they know they are in a play. Confusingly brilliant!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Are You Comfortable?

    So much said in so few words, this monologue is incredible! Lucy quickly brings us into her world to a point we feel like we've known her for years, then the real horror creeps up on us most unexpectedly, a true reflection of some of these awful shootings. Am I comfortable? No.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Tomorrow

    TOMORROW is such an interesting short play, for there is so much left unsaid that the audience are left to make up their own minds as to why these two ladies are on plinths high above. I love this style of writing and it fascinates me!
    Throughout this play clever references are made to MacBeth, making it all the more intriguing!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Bev.

    BEV is a dark, at times funny, look at siblings in a difficult and sad chapter of their lives. As they find themselves in stark and desperate surroundings, they are forced to face their recent past, their loss of their sister. Then along comes an awkward, sarcastic mermaid who gives them quite the ultimatum! I love this play!
