  • Christopher Plumridge: 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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: 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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Resurrectionists

    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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Break

    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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: 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!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Flight of Fancy

    As an engineer working in airline safety I'm not sure if I want to fly with Bailout Airlines even if the flight attendants are extremely attractive! Flight of Fancy is a fun play, firstly we see an English teacher boarding his very first flight, finding his seat and becoming increasingly nervous as the flight safety presentations are being made. What follows is a sweet dissection of human emotions as the seemingly robotic attendant slowly becomes more human. I would love to see this staged!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Is it Enough

    IS IT ENOUGH, is a deeply troubling story written so acutely, so powerful. The audience will no doubt feel uncomfortable watching this great play, yet they will feel engrossed and compelled to find out what happens. Setting it in the 1960's is inspired, you are shown just how attitudes were back then and how far they have improved, still a long way to go of course. This play is superb, do give it a read!

  • Christopher Plumridge: Joey Age 11

    Joey aged 11 becomes so brave, or so resigned, probably both, that he plans his escape. But at what cost? This series is truly remarkable, I've come to realise that Joe forces you into the story, very uncomfortably, as the imaginary friend. This is required, because how else can we even get close to understanding what Joey went through. And just like the imaginary friend you want to help but feel utterly useless. Stunning.

  • Christopher Plumridge: Can You Hear Me Now?

    What a wonderful short comedy of two scientists on the brink of the next greatest invention this is! Then, as quick as their invention becomes established they find new possible ways of using this revolutionary equipment, what wonderful foresight these two have! I actually feel slightly ashamed that I write this recommendation on my phone with just my thumbs! A great play!

  • Christopher Plumridge: The Alien Collector

    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!
