  • THE WHOLE VAMPIRE THING

    Dark, moody, stylish, gothic, sexy, atmospheric, I could go on. Darkly funny violence fill this play from start to finish. I'm in awe of how every sentence is crafted, such detail, such dark morbid scene creating in every single line, said or narrated. From the seemingly innocent start to the ultra violent ending this would be a horrible pleasure to produce or watch! I love it!
  • Madame Medusa Would Prefer a Chardonnay
    10 Mar. 2022
    Just like Tina Turner, Madame Medusa don't need another hero, well unless he brings a bottle of Chardonnay. This would be a great audition piece for an actress, such is the detail and emotion Nora puts into this piece. I would certainly like to see it performed!
  • THE WEIRD SISTERS
    10 Mar. 2022
    This play would be so entertaining to watch, it's fast paced, funny and quirky! We watch the wives at first lamenting on their previous marriages to Henry, then realizing what a toe rag he's really been, it's then fun to watch them turn into the weird sisters and join him in the bathroom.....Great!
  • Wish You Were Here.

    I was immediately drawn in by the title of this heartbreaking play mainly because I'm a Pink Floyd fan. I'm fully aware of the meaning behind the song of the same name, but Patton brings this meaning to a whole new level for this poor family. What catches me most is the realisation that the couple must have had this conversation many times before, going over the same old ground.
  • Hold them Stunned

    I'm so often surprised and impressed with the ideas fellow writers come up with, and this play by Rachel is no exception. Here the author deals with a, let's face it, male chauvinistic pig, and makes him change his ways in the most bizarre way, then the ending takes you by complete surprise. This play did hold me stunned. Hmmm, burning rubber.....
  • Don't Flip Your Snood

    Whilst being part of a reading of this fun play, I simply couldn't chicken out from leaving a recommendation! What I thought was going to be an adaptation of CHICKEN RUN, soon turned out to be something far more fun! This Turkey needs far more than a Thanksgiving pardon now.....! Great fun!
  • Rolling My Own

    To begin with I would never sell my Mummy, she'd kill me even from beyond the grave! I love reading plays so unique in story you wonder who could have possibly imagined this! I would really love to see this play performed, to see two friends sat by a camp fire with a MUMMY propped up between them! Brilliant haha!
  • The Resurrectionists
    6 Mar. 2022
    I'm always intrigued to see how a great American playwright takes on such an English subject and it's characters. This did not let me down, here the author presents two Cockley ner-do-wells, a dodgy night watchman and plenty of hilarious dark humour in his short play. Great fun!
  • Break
    6 Mar. 2022
    This is so relatable, a lunch break conversation behind a restaurant, a snapshot of careers at different times and opportunities missed or there to be taken. If I had such advice, or maybe I did but wouldn't listen, then maybe things would have turned out differently. That said, just like Mary, I've no regrets. Very nice play!
  • Mixed Signals

    This is a lovely short, atmospheric play, I could clearly imagine the two sat in their car staring at the moon, something I've done myself a few times. As an occasional director I can see this two hander performed in several ways, some deep and some light, but at its heart this play is simply beautiful!
