Summary

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.
Available since: 01/01/2025.

    Sophie is about to become a single mum – a third-generation one – and she's terrified. How will she afford to feed her baby? Or a Deluxe Snuggle Pod? Can she hold on to her job? What if she's crap at parenthood? Surely she can count on her own mum and nan to help...
Except her mum's got used to having a life of her own, and doesn't fancy giving up pole-dancing class and Tinder to go back to changing nappies and no sleep. Meanwhile, fresh out of hospital with a broken leg, her nan's having a three-quarter-life crisis of her own.
From slammed doors to living-room karaoke, Lydia Marchant's play Mumsy is a sparky, soulful comedy drama about the highs and lows of motherhood. It premiered at Hull Truck Theatre in March 2023.

    Banished Rose is a luminous collection of poetry spanning over two decades, tracing the delicate arc of one woman’s journey from adolescence to creative maturity. With raw honesty and lyrical grace, Leila invites readers into an intimate world shaped by love, heartbreak, personal transformation, and spiritual awakening.
 
In these pages, you will walk beside the poet along mountain trails strewn with flowers and storms, feel the ache of a broken heart longing to fill an empty space, breathe in the healing salt air of the ocean, and hear whispered prayers for forgiveness. From her first verses at age twelve to a reflective voice of thirty-four, Leila conjures vivid imagery and deep emotion to illuminate her journey. Each poem becomes a moment of immersion—a meditation on the present—allowing the reader to feel alongside the poet: the pain of loss, the wonder of nature, the quiet search for God. 
 
Banished Rose is a testament to the healing power of words, a companion for anyone navigating life’s joys and sorrows, and a reminder that within every heartache lies the possibility of grace.

    A Poet's Guidance for the Practice of True Self-ExpressionAll spiritual traditions affirm that fully participating in our own life is what allows us to find our place in the fullness and beauty of the world. As such, holding nothing back is less a forceful act of will and more a surrender into the current of life we are always in. In Holding Nothing Back, Mark Nepo invites us to enliven the one obligation we are born with: to be completely who you are. Our reward is nothing less than the realization that “all of life is in whatever moment we wake to.” Holding Nothing Back illuminates:  •  The Fall into Life—our inevitable journey into what is real, and how we only find meaning through relationship  •  Alone and Together—the paradox of being and belonging and how we need both solitude and community  •  The Mystery of Transformation—staying true to the spirit within while the person carrying it keeps evolving“To hold nothing back means staying committed to letting whatever we experience make its way in and letting whatever is in make its way out,” explains Nepo. “Holding nothing back means holding the intention to be an open vessel, in a daily way.” Here is his passionate call to each of us to find and befriend the quiet courage to bring all of who we are to every step we take through the miraculous world.Excerpted from the full-length audio program Staying Awake.Course objectives:  •  Discuss the transformative journey of holding nothing back as a practice of truth and love.  •  Define our soul's calling, or what we are called to do, and the call of the soul, or the continual call to aliveness.  •  Discuss paradox: being alone and belonging, as well as effort and grace as the path of oneness.  •  Define and discuss enthusiasm, obstacles, and sincerity as teachers on the transformative journey toward living an authentic life and awakening.  •  Practice deepening the discussions with suggested reflection, writing exercises, storytelling, ritual and meditation.

    The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their a
