  • Christopher Plumridge: i asked you/ the art

    Having read the sister piece to this, Miranda has taken this installment to a higher level, allowing conflict to come into it, allowing her frustrations with men to show through the passion. Very clever, unique and beautifully poetic!

  • Christopher Plumridge: the broad of your back

    I once wrote a similar ode/poem about a lady I once knew, but Miranda has blown my efforts out of the water in her deeply passionate and highly detailed poetic monologue. Very powerful!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Vengeful Road

    All plays really come to life when being read aloud, especially in this case by the talented Tiny_Theatre. The Vengeful Road is tense, atmospheric and truly chilling in a Hitchcock style. I love the way its staged, a simple truck cab facing the audience, with careful lighting it would look spectacular too. This is Rachel at her best, excellent!

  • Christopher Plumridge: IT'S ELEMENTAL (10-minute comedy, 4 characters)

    What a great piece this is for a young cast, for children are already leading the way to help prevent climate change, if only our leaders would stop, listen and help them. Staged, this short play would be lots of fun to act in and to watch, but with an important message at it's heart to tell. Wonderful.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Preconceived

    Wow, Travis has really met his match in this darkly humourous two hander set in what seems to be a near future society. And what an interesting concept, to be accountable even before conception! Great line: 'You lost your consent when you threw away your tadpoles' Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Hands Off, We Bite

    Although extreme examples of such characters, we've all met a couple like this at some time in our lives, and had to listen as they force their conversation on you. In this case, in their efforts at 'being at one with nature' they are proving to be the worst of society. There is such an important message in this play which Faith addresses perfectly, leave nature be and watch the great David Attenborough show us their world from afar. Enough drink in me at the party I would have told them a lot worse! Great work!

  • Christopher Plumridge: ALL HALLOWS EVE

    All Hallows Eve is a fun short, sassy, ghost story which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I love the whole premise and the interaction between the 3 characters, alive or not, plus the spectacle of the deceased, dressed in the typical white sheet circling the two remaining living souls is hilarious. There's a line about about cake predicted in the future which made me laugh out loud!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: State of Enchantment

    What a beautiful, unique, clever two hander this play is, it certainly has a state of enchantment! I expected some sort of Stockholm syndrome to unfold, but what we get is a sweet flamenco dance of a recognition of past love, but now with impenetrable bars separating them. Enchanting indeed!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Under the Floorboards

    It is surely brave to take on an adaptation of a master piece by such a classic author, but Dana has done just that to dramatic effect. I'm a big fan of the original story and the playwright has effectively bought it up to date with 3 actors bringing to life the tension and drama in a unique way. So much left unsaid as to what she is now free from, but we can all draw our own conclusions. Excellent!

  • Christopher Plumridge: CLOG - a poo-dunnit mystery (10 minute play)

    This is such a wonderfully silly play which I read at break neck speed such is the pace of the writing! I read it again to take it all in! I have no idea how this would be staged, but suffice to say this is the first ever 'poo-dunnit play I've ever read and I do hope there will be more! I imagine the butler having a very proper (John Cleese) English accent! Superb nonsense!
