  • Christopher Plumridge: BLIZZARD IN HAWAII

    Fun, silly, quirky, cool, and so many other adjectives to describe this play about the unlikeliest of new friendships! This play is great fun and would be a hoot to perform and to watch! But behind this there is an important message about global warming...Will we really see polar bears in Hawaii ??

  • Christopher Plumridge: Suddenly

    This is a very moving, difficult, heartfelt play which tackles the subject of a child lost to addiction in a very real and emotional way. How difficult must it be to write an obituary about someone so close? Ellen addresses this very sensitively in her play SUDDENLY. Do give this a read.

  • Christopher Plumridge: SUNSET AT SANTORINI (Drinks With New Friends)

    I read this in a similar location, Kefalonia, watching the sun set! What a great little play of playful double crossing which took me by surprise! Now I might just be careful of who I chose as vacation friends! Great!

  • Christopher Plumridge: INTENTIONS MATTER

    Jack! You reduced me to tears! This is such a beautiful yet sad play, but full of a wonderful hope. As a step father myself (in very different circumstances) I can relate to the feelings John has for Sarah, how he cares for her and loves her beyond words. What's more, where is there need for a psychiatrist when a good heart to heart with the one you love the most is far more effective and beneficial to both? This is such a beautiful play!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Asterisk Kisses

    This is a beautiful short two hander, a sweet dance reminiscent of Carmen, will they, won't they? So much told yet untold, why did she agree to meet him yet be reluctant to grant him his first "proper" kiss. I'm a sucker for this type of tale and I loved this play!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Club Oscuro Project

    This is a very thought provoking play on the emotions we have, real or not real, are we real or part of an experiment? I am very much reminded of the TV series Westworld, such is the skill and complexity of the author. So much untold here too, I believe this could be extended to a full length play. Also the great twist at the end took me by surprise! I love it!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Playing on the Periphery: Monologues and Scenes For and About Queer Kids

    What I find most interesting about this anthology of monologues and short plays centered on four diverse young characters is that the author uses the language and thoughts of youth, perfectly amalgamated with the recollection and hindsight of adulthood. Quite incredible. As a straight, Christian 'normal' boy, I faced a lot of bullying simply for being the shortest in my year. This play shows us that kids can rise above this, given the chance, and they should be listened to! I love the way the four meet at the end and pretty much want to start their own country! Excellent!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Prism of the People

    Perfectly titled this is a great short two hander with an important message. I'm impressed at the unique way in which the author takes us back to see Isaac Newton, inspired! Maybe if we can go back to seek advise from the great and wise we can look forward in a more positive light. Wonderful !

  • Christopher Plumridge: Treasure Hunter!: Episode One - Curse of the Jade Scorpion (On the Air Series)

    This is such a fun farce, a raucous radio romp and a silly take on Indiana Jones with enough innuendo to bring in the sniggers! I really picture the monkey as being a ventriloquist dummy on the arm of our Dashing Dirk!
    Set as a radio play, it would be even more fun being read live on stage a such play, for to see each character live on stage in front of us, in full wonderful costume would make the evening a total hoot!! Spiffing work Ol' Chap!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Story Time

    What starts of as a seemingly innocent story of Grandma looking after her grand children and reading them bedtime stories, has a dark and somewhat brilliantly disturbing ending! I really did not see this coming, such is the skill of the writer to lure us into a false sense of security! This story really does have a twist in the tale, brilliant!!
