Keely and Du

Keely and Du is a fine exercise in individualism. It pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable or fair. It asks a lot of questions, which is clearly missing sometimes, from both sides of the argument. It’s also a brave play to produce. It’s going to cause more than a few raised eyebrows and fire up a lot of discussions and that is a very good thing! Review>>

Another Nail in the Coffin

Prepare to question everything, for nothing is as it seems in the toxically beautiful world of Jacksyn Ivy Jayne's Another Nail in the Coffin. Step inside a seemingly innocent nail salon hiding a bloody secret that will challenge the audience to reckon with the guttural, grim world of female rage, full of dance, brawls, screams, and of course, manicurists.

Moving On - Evening of One Acts

All the stories are very well written. Funny, thought provoking and interesting. The actors play their roles with dedication and skill and the overall effect is three very memorable and entertaining plays about radical shifts in life, whether by choice or not. If there is one thing we can all bank on in life it is change. We grow, we age, we lose, we win, we love, we break up and then, hopefully eventually, we die. Review>>

Crevasse

It’s not an exaggeration when I tell you that Crevasse is one of the finest plays I have seen. It is absolutely extraordinary in fact, and Leo Marks and Ann Nobel are phenomenal. How is it possible for a person to so totally dissolve into a character that when they become another in front of your very eyes they seem to be two completely separate entities? They are both utterly mesmerizing in all their roles. Review>>
