  • Is This Sexual? by Ariel Cipolla
    8 Feb. 2022
    “ The tension in this play by Cipolla is as intense as the two main characters, who meet up at a seedy motel. At first we do not know why they are they, then the reason becomes uncomfortably clear. But the twist at the end steels this piece, it hits you in the face and you feel embroiled in their fight! I also admire the clear stage directions which help to build the characters and their relationship. Excellent! ”
  • THE WARSHIP WATERLOO by Monica Cross
    7 Feb. 2022
    “ I often wonder about the merits of a one minute play, can it be worth it? But Monica has proven me wrong in this slick, fast paced and energetic sci-fi! Can the Waterloo seek sanctuary with its precious cargo, is it a trick? Great! ”
  • Joey Age 10 by Joe Swenson
    6 Feb. 2022
    “ As time goes by, Joey seems to accept the brutal abuse coming to him with an air of calm, this in itself is truly heart breaking. A paper plane thrown from a bus, a few cookies? Any abuser caught and hopefully imprisoned should be made to watch this incredible series staged, to be shown clearly the hideous impact their actions have caused. I say once again, Joe writes these plays superbly, drawing in the audience uncomfortably into the dire situation. Amazing. ”
  • Joey Age 9 by Joe Swenson
    6 Feb. 2022
    “ I am compelled to keep reading this incredible series by Joe, here we see Joey finding some strength to confront his abducter and abuser, but at cost. Emotional enough but one line completely choked me. The imaginary friends small monologue at the end says so much too. Aside from the content, these are incredibly well written, punchy plays. These have to be staged! ”
  • It's Not Me by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    4 Feb. 2022
    “ In this slick two hander Rachel takes the "it's not you, it's me, but it isn't me because it's actually you" break up scenario to a whole new level. I'm still not sure what Claires real reason is, and at the end of this I feel I am Kevin himself, well I certainly feel his pain! This will leave the the audience in a mild state of confusion and questioning her motives, which for this reader I love! ”
  • Lady Of The Evening (a three minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ What starts of as a rather naughty encounter soon turns very funny indeed! I'm not sure if that's what Patrick intended but he sure recieved a lesson in 'sleeping with' someone. A great spin, love it! ”
  • The Big Picture (a ten minute play) by Mark Harvey Levine
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ To bring such inanimate objects to life in such a fun way is inspired! I loved all the characters, all unique in their own way and their own colour, all together in the mutual aim to complete the big picture. This would be so much fun to stage and watch! Now I need a shoulder to crayon..... ”
  • Erase (a monologue) by Mark Harvey Levine
    3 Feb. 2022
    “ This beautiful monologue took me back a dozen years or so to my neice of that age telling such similar stories in the same way, so sweet! We all have regrets, so to be able to erase even only one of them would be a delight. Oh, I've forgotten where I'm going with this rec.....erase! Great monologue! ”
  • EVE: A PALINDROME PLAY [10-Minute Play] by Nathan Christopher
    30 Jan. 2022
    “ Having never before read a palindromic play, if any others even exist, I am in awe of this piece by Nathan. Read either way it is slick and clever, you can clearly imagine the two scenes being played out simultaneously, if only us human audiences could concentrate on both at the same time! This would be a wonderful challenge to stage! Very clever! ”
  • A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR [10-Minute Play] by Nathan Christopher
    27 Jan. 2022
    “ A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR is a stark two hander expertly written, gritty and lonely. The two characters meet after a year since their only previous encounter, and soon their strained chemistry is clear to see. I found this fascinating and a tad uncomfortable, two of the many emotions I love to feel when reading or watching such pieces. Love it! ”
