Stunning by Christopher Plumridge is disturbing and amazing. It turned in a direction I did not expect. The aspect of this monologue that really makes it shine is the voice of the narrator. You trust them. You accept what he is saying in the first half of the monologue. They present themself as a loving, caring, blameless parent. And then, after we turn the corner, they continue to talk of themself in the same way. Also, after we turned the corner, the setting that was established in the opening takes on a new meaning.

Another charmer from playwright Vivian Lermond. PEDRO'S PATIO features three, well-crafted characters who felt, to me, as if I had read much more about their lives--their backstory--than I actually read. This is because Lermond has a skill of creating characters that have full lives with backstories, a present, and the promise of a future. This play gives you all of that and it does so without forcing the characters' history on the reader/audience. That is not easy to pull off but Vivian Lermond does it with a sure hand.

The Little Red Riding Hood story seems as old as time itself, but Christopher Plumridge has written his version of the tale and it is funny, curious, bitter-sweet, and surprising, all with a pleasantly original approach. You want to keep reading not only to see how the story turns out, but to find out what new twist Plumridge is going to toss our way next! Plumridge has shaken the "been there, done that" off of Little Red Riding Hood and has made it new and entertaining again with MISS R.R.HOOD VERSUS THE WOLF.

This one-minute play is a real charmer. I loved it for the characters, the situation they are experiencing, and for the play's "coziness". It put me in the same frame of mind that I settle into when watching those wonderful films from the early 1950s like ON MOONLIGHT BAY and BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON-- light-hearted, funny and cozy.

This is such a beautiful, lyrical monologue. Vivian Lermond's mastery of the English language is on full display in this work. Combine this expertly written monologue with an actor who has the skill and the voice comparable to Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman or Shohreh Aghdashloo and you will have an amazing 60 seconds of theatre.

Beautifully written stage play. I am honestly at a loss for words. This is a story that illustrates the different possibilities that lay before us in life and reminds us to think carefully and completely about where our choices / decisions will lead us. GOING THERE quietly yet urgently implores us to follow our hearts and to do our best to journey through our lives with as few regrets as possible... to live true. Playwright Philip Middleton Williams has crafted a wonderful and deeply moving script.

A QUIET PLACE by Debbie Lamedman is a very enjoyable play to read. I couldn't help but associate the behavior of Luke to the behavior of some people in our society who feel they have the right to do whatever they want to do, however and where ever they please, without consideration for the rules or the people around them. That is especially true in our current state of affairs. That may or may not be what the author intended to be the underlying message, but that's what I gleaned from it and it was executed perfectly by Lamedman.

Wow... reading this play was a very moving experience. It begins in a quiet and subtle manner and it reveals details and important story information gradually. There lies the brilliance of Andrew Martineau's writing. It is subtle, quiet, and patient... and then it makes a sudden left turn that occurs at just the right moment that left me shaken and moved. At its core, VISITATION is a moving story about the far-reaching and everlasting love all mother's have for their children through out their entire lives.

What an absolutely wonderful play! The theme of the story is brilliantly set-up in the opening with the discussion of how Malcolm feels about French Fancies. When Tom and Lesley enter, the dialogue shifts into the next gear with rapid-fire wit that sets a perfect rhythm that allows the audience to feel what the characters are experiencing (the information coming at them is fast and sets them back on their heels). Add in a most effective twist (or two) and what you have is a play script crafted masterfully by Christopher Plumridge.

FRAMED is a thoroughly enjoyable radio play. The dialogue moves the story along at a brisk pace and conveys every detail the audience needs to paint, in their minds, the environment that the characters inhabit. The dialogue is also smart and is often sprinkled with just the right amount of humor to insure the journey remains light and fun. The script left me wanting to read more adventures of the sister detectives-- who should, by the way, be as well known as "Sherlock Holmes" and "Father Brown". FRAMED is a charming and genius creation by Vivian Lermond.
