I am not familiar with Christian Science beliefs, so this play by Debra is enlightening and educational. There's so much underlying story within this piece that I had yo go back to read some sections. At its heart strong belief, grief and love, albeit strained love run throughout. I found the children most interesting, watching them being caught up in the adults affair. Very good!

I LOVE THIS PLAY! Deb has hit the nail on the head perfectly here in this short, sweet play. In her brief, three sentence summary she has described how a mother always knows. What I love most about this piece is that my own mother is capable of exactly the same clever, yet well meaning, deceit! Perfect!

This is an important play which needs to be staged, at a time where, finally there is more understanding and acceptance of autism. It's beautiful, sad, moving and funny in equal measure. Excellent.

LADY FASHION by Mackling is a sweet, tender, brief moment of friendship entwined with business, or so I thought until the gut punch of a twist, clever! I read this play again once I knew the entire story and it really takes on a whole new, deeper meaning. So much more to work on here if the writer chooses too, I know I want more.

This short play throws up an interesting question,at least to this reader. Is Janice's obsession with the unfortunate rodents in her sons yard a means of coping with her grief, or a distraction,maybe both? Either way this is a subtly moving play, heartfelt and gently funny too, which makes it a delight!

This is a fun and clever little play from DC, also a great premise, to look into the mind of someone coming off anesthetic! The doctor and nurse in this piece are soon confronted by a dilemma, while Mister Tubbs spills out his heart to the said docor! Very funny, this would be a hoot to stage!

I always admire writers who can say so much, with so much gravity, in so few words. This monologue from mother to her son is touching and moving, you feel her pain as much as you feel her desperate desire to help her son, and herself, move on in their lives. Simple and beautiful.

Dreams can tell us so much, yet confuse us so much too....says this writer. Joe lays us onto the the therapist couch and tries to find some answers in a unique way. This short play is fast paced, tense, gripping and were left hoping we can be a fly on the wall during their next meeting. Aside, Tammy and Kelli's new relationship is taught, so we're left wondering if the boundary between doctor and patient is crossed. More please!!

Molly Tucker has come up with a clever premise for a longer play, or even a film, in this short play. Students making a fortune teller out of paper, which then decides to tell its own future.... its a great idea, I want more!

This clever short play throws up an interesting question, should student papers enjoy the same freedom of the press as all others? These students, after some well played out discussions and decide to do just that. I would love to see the next chapter in this, the fallout!?
This play would make for a great student production, some meaty roles for them to take on.
