  • Christopher Plumridge: The Monster

    How do you survive from being imminently being eaten by a monster? Well here's your answer....argue with it and annoy it! Haha this is so much fun and would be hilarious to stage with an actor in an insanely over the top monster costume. Best of all is the final line, but I won't give that away, read it for yourself!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Sister Portal

    A dark comedy with a wonderful notion. How so many things are left unsaid when a sibling dies, but as we see in this play these two sisters get to settle a few secrets and disagreements before passing though the potty, I mean portal. Lovely!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Rise and Fall of Socky

    This a fun little play reminiscent of the likes of Southpark or The Simpsons, such is the daft premise of presenting a sock puppet as the next big Broadway show! I too was impressed by Cats meets Les Mis and the implications which could follow....One Mog More?
    This would be a hoot to perform and will fit like hand in glove, or rather sock, at any short play festival!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Vampire's Venti

    This is a wonderful short play by Lee, a clever take on the supernatural which makes makes it almost believable. Frannie has obviously started a new life away from Alan, (a brilliantly simple name for a vampire!) but he tracks her down at last. Is she ready for this inevitable reunion? You bet she is! Great fun!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Up Against the 4th Wall

    I love this madcap caper so much! I felt like I was Dash myself, in my mind giving my best over the top quintessentially posh British accent! How many times have we questioned that surely stage whispers are heard by all on stage, or do baddies really have selective hearing? This play answers that so clearly! I would love to see this play staged, I would love to stage this play, I want to be Dash haha. Great fun!!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Writer's Block

    In this monologue Rachel writes of her own frustration at her writers block, desperate for a fresh idea to come along. We've all been there. What I particularly like and relate to is what Rachel thinks of characters when we are not using them in our work, what happens to them after we create them, do they retire peacefully or go mad in an asylum? Now I'm worried and need to go back and write fresh scenes for the characters I've given life to, for I am their writing god ... mwah ha ha!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Are you ready to order?

    I have quickly come to notice that Jacobs has a unique way of tackling difficult subjects and making us realise just how we should treat people with such illnesses. This monologue is heartfelt as it is educational, with another great twist at the end!

  • Christopher Plumridge: I mean...meow?

    Haha, poor Mittens! No cat can ever accept being ignored unless it chooses to ignore you, then that's perfectly acceptable! The little twist in this tale at the end is wonderful!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Why Are You Here?

    As someone who has lived with depression in their partner, the message in this difficult, excellent play is perfectly told. Friends and family around can, usually with best, misguided intentions, ask the person to just pull themselves together, Jacobs clearly shows that the therapy sought is for the sufferer only, just for them. This is message is very well told and would be so powerful when staged.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Heart in a Box

    This is a wonderful short play reminiscent of the silent movies from yesteryear, beautiful yet heartbreaking. Z with their heart in a box, ready and willing to give it to a suitable recipient is a stunning metaphor for the opportunities of love which pass through our lives. I only wish Z meets the love of their life further down the alphabet. This is a wonderful play with so many options of how to stage it.
