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.

Poems for Honeymooners - Love...

W B Yeats

Honeymoons are a relatively modern concept in the western world, dating from the 19th Century and have since become a multi-billion dollar industry turning the beginning of wedded bliss into a smorgsboard of ‘must have this’ and ‘must do that’.   
 
However, celebrating a marriage is something we perhaps all feel should be a more intimate occasion.  After all this part of the journey is possibly unique as well as universal and timeless.  Sex, possibly for the first time, is now an expression of the wedded state, cementing and reframing the relationship as a new couple.   
 
Within the lines of this volume are perfect poems for those on such a journey, whether it a romantic holiday setting or relaxed at home as our classic poets revel in the sensual, the sexy and above all the love for that very special chosen person in our lives.   Our verse includes those from Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Rossetti, W B Yeats, Khalil Gibran, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and many more.

Mishkât Al-Anwar (The Niche For...

Al- Ghazzali, WHT Gairdner

The classic work of Sufi mystical thinking from 1100CE, available in audiobook for the first time. It is also known as A Niche of Lamps. In the middle ages, Sufi scholars reconciled rationality and faith, both of which were ascendant in the empires of the time. This is one of the great philosophical and theological works from that period, and shows another side to Islam than the doctrinaire version that is more commonly spoken of. Al-Ghazali is often called "the proof of Islam" (hujjat al-islam), because he tried to bridge inquiry, legislation and mystical practice. One could call al-Ghazali the prototype Muslim intellectual.This translation was done in 1823 by WHT Gairdner, who also includes a commentary upon the ideas that Al-Ghazzali presents.The Niche of Lights, written near the end of his life, is about the need for balance between the authority of the divine and reason, seeing both as essential to real spiritual development.

The Real Ones

Waleed Akhtar

Best friends Zaid and Neelam shared a dream: get away, make it as writers, build a future where they're free to be themselves. Together, always.
Years later, things are far from what they expected. Zaid's life has kinda stalled – he's half out the closet, living at home and still chasing the dream. While Neelam's has taken a completely different path as she chooses to prioritise her own happiness. As their lives pull further apart, leaving a mess of unsaid things between them, it's going to take something real to bring them back together.
Waleed Akhtar's play The Real Ones is a funny and honest love letter to platonic soulmates. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike, and starring Nathaniel Curtis and Mariam Haque.

Partners

D.M. D.M.McGowan

Thomas Brash is trying to escape, but knows he never will. No thinking person can escape from their past. Pursuing him is the memory of the family he lost to cholera. Perhaps he believes that traveling alone in a wild, dangerous land will end all his memories; there is no doubt he wishes to be alone. Whatever his intentions, the appearance of Frank Clement and the circumstances of that meeting upset those plans. 
Brash views Clement as an uneducated child who requires fatherly protection and guidance. Clement views Brash as a tenderfoot and can not understand how anyone who knows so little could live so long. These two loners are joined by others, and they all become partners. Having achieved relative sanctuary and surrounded by civilization, their wilderness past comes back to haunt them.
