Ha! This is a wonderful funny short play, with a great, turnip inspired twist! The galaxy may well be a safer place for us humans if all the aliens are vegan! I am always impressed at how writers come up with wonderful, fresh ideas, and this is no exception!

Awww I love this! And in the best way the author totally had me fooled, what seemed like to be one of those 'one way unrequited love' scenarios turned into something quite unexpected and beautiful! So heart warming!

As a big fan of the UK comedy Red Dwarf I totally enjoyed this daft farce of a wonderful Sci-fi play! Arriving on a planet 165 years to late is, let's face it, a tad rude, but that's not why the inhabitants are concerned! Such a funny play which also delves deep into inherent racism and flips it on its head. Great fun!

I love this monologue! I can see it being staged, someone dressed as an owl perched in a tree who suddenly realizes just what pain and suffering it's kind has inflicted on lesser mortals! Maybe we should take heed of this wise owl, or will our hunger prevail more? A great, thought provoking monologue.

INSPIRATION by Rachel lives up to it's title, the way this play is staged and having the lead character narrate his story while also acting it out is inspirational. You can't help but feel for Nick, from the very beginning you're on his side wanting to guide him in the big lights of London, then you're challenged by the arrival of Jack. What follows is a twist on the film Fight Club, but in the end you question fiction against the truth. A cleverly written play which would be captivating to watch!

This is such a beautiful play in so many ways, one way that stands out for me is the love in this family that weaves its way through the story and holds them all close. The twins share an unbreakable bond even when they go their separate, and desperate ways in life. Also this play is so evocatively told, reading this I felt every hug, heard every gun shot and every note from the Steinway. Simply beautiful.

The very title of this play is genius in itself, Humans do, in some small parts of the world, remain. Here Robin has created a brilliant, simple, yet believable civilisation away from the trappings of the modern world. To begin with I found their dialect difficult to follow, but as you read on it becomes so clear that you can see why Peter would become so ensconced in their world so quickly. This is a clever, world creating play which would be a huge yet rewarding task for a group to produce. Wonderful!

The year 2029 is really not that far away and this play paints a frightening picture of how easily the world can change in that short a time. Here the author expertly draws you into a desperately uncomfortable situation, where the words of innocent children can cause so much trouble and shatter their new and fragile existence. I was captivated by this play from the very beginning, it truly is a great piece!

Oh my, where do I start? I have truly learnt from a master here, such is the depth of story as deep and dark as the titular trench itself. We watch Teddy and Anzor begin an unbreakable bond, even through censored letters, both far too intelligent for their own good at times and both terribly haunted and troubled. But what astounds me the most is the way the author has created such an incredible, troubled, divided world described only by the words of his characters. A stunning play!

Well I hope I am never a poor fox entrapped by the Goddess of the Hunt! This play has so many twist and turns, so much double crossing its hard to keep up. I particularly admired the use of information screens flagging up social media posts throughout. And I hope I don't find myself sharing a kir royale with Hemmingway anytime soon! Superb!
