Sinossi

Toad of Toad Hall is a charming and whimsical play that brings Kenneth Grahame's beloved characters from The Wind in the Willows to life with wit and humor. Adapted by the celebrated playwright A.A. Milne, this literary treasure reimagines the adventures of the irrepressible and flamboyant Mr. Toad alongside his loyal and steadfast friends Ratty, Mole, and Badger.
Set in the idyllic English countryside, the story explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and redemption, while delving into the exuberant chaos caused by Toad's insatiable appetite for mischief and thrill. With its fast-paced dialogue, rich characterizations, and delightful blend of comedy and drama, the play captures the heart of Grahame's timeless tale while adding Milne's signature touch of charm and theatricality.

Langston Hughes, Phillis...

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.

But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
In this volume we collect together poets who, by the mere colour of their skin, were treated with such disdain and racism that it is difficult to believe that poetry of such tenderness, beauty and authority could exist.

Gaze Back

Marylyn Tan

Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize (Poetry 2020) 
 
What do we expect of an author who is unapologetically female? What do we expect of consuming art in general? Should a work be easy, should a work be safe? 
 
Marylyn Tan’s debut volume, GAZE BACK, complicates ideas of femininity, queerness, and the occult. The feminine grotesque subverts the restrictions placed upon the feminine body to be attractive and its subjection to notions of the ideal. The occultic counterpoint to organised religion, then, becomes a way toward techniques of empowering the marginalised. 
 
GAZE BACK, ultimately, is an instruction book, a grimoire, a call to insurrection—to wrest power back from the social structures that serve to restrict, control and distribute it amongst those few privileged above the disenfranchised.
