Original plays that are darkly funny and written to be seen live.

Full-length dramas, one-act comedies and monologues for theatres, festivals, schools and ensemble companies. Every script is shaped in rehearsal rooms and tested in front of real audiences.

Every play begins with a question worth asking out loud.

Each script grows through drafts, table reads and workshops until the characters feel lived-in and the laughs land. The result is theatre that trusts its audience and gives actors something real to play.

Affordable Licensing

Clear, fair rates for amateur, school and professional productions, with no hidden fees.

Flexible Casting

Doubling charts and gender-flexible roles let companies of any size stage the work.

Director Support

Notes, rewrites and rehearsal visits help every production find its own voice.

Where quiet heartbreak meets dark comedy.

For more than fifteen years, these plays have been staged in black-box studios, festival tents and grand old playhouses. Written for actors and built for audiences, they find the humour in grief, the strangeness in ordinary kitchens and the drama in a single unspoken line.

Loved by the companies who stage them

Directors, teachers and artistic directors share what it is like to bring these plays to life with their casts and audiences.

Our audience laughed, then went completely silent, then laughed again. Few scripts give a cast that much to play with. We sold out every night of the run.

Artistic Director, Northgate Stage
The doubling options let our company of six stage a play with eleven characters. The writing is sharp, generous and genuinely strange in the best way.

Director, The Velvet Room
My students fought over the roles. The play handled big themes with humour and care, and the notes for directors made rehearsals so much easier.
