  'One day this will work. One day we will gift two honest, decent, trusting volunteers a baby. I know this more than anything else in the world. I know it in my soul. We will do that.'
  In 1978, three pioneering doctors changed the world of fertility as we know it. Supported by an army of immensely brave women from all over the UK, Patrick Steptoe, Robert Edwards and Jean Purdy achieved the impossible: they created human life in vitro.
  Faced with fierce criticism and hostility, and hounded by the media for 'playing God', trials had to be kept largely under wraps. But the trio's determination to give hope to the thousands of families struggling to conceive eventually led to the first 'test-tube baby' and the creation of IVF, a procedure which has since supported the birth of over twelve million babies worldwide.
  Gareth Farr's play A Child of Science is a fictionalised account of this true story of ambition and courage, based on extensive research and interviews with embryologists and fertility doctors, as well as those affected by and enabled by IVF. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2024, directed by Matthew Dunster.

  A distraught Palestinian doctor processing his son's suicide finds common ground with the Israeli investigator who lost his best friend in the attack. 
  When an explosion devastates a peaceful neighborhood, Dr. Rami Amar receives news his son was the perpetrator. Shocked by their son's apparent radicalization, Dr. Amar and his wife, Lyda struggle to make sense of their loss, which is further intensified by the investigator, Major Shani of the Israeli Defense Forces. For Shani, this is personal. His childhood friend was killed in the attack. Following protocol, Shani confiscates Dr. Amar's travel documents and destroys his home, and the undercurrent of distrust between the two men is unmistakable.  
  With only questions and no answers, Dr. Amar decides to fix up a dilapidated local school to get the stone-throwing youths off the streets and into the classroom. But when it's impossible to acquire proper supplies, he turns to an unlikely source of help: Major Shani. To keep the students in school, learning lessons of peace, not hate, Dr. Amar promises after-school soccer matches. However, to keep his word, Dr. Amar needs even more help from Shani to break through a seemingly unmovable obstacle. Will Dr. Amar ever find out what really happened to his son? Will the men be able to unite for a common cause, or does the pain of past events run too deep?

  A love story called My Hell was inspired by my Muse, and many of the poets I have studied. It was originally written to be a narrated stage play. In this Narrative epic Love Story there are hidden messages that only your subconscious will perceive. I wrote this epic story with the intent to show the moral of the story, "Love Conquers All." The story is about a  journey through Hell and many personal confrontations with Satan himself. This is one Journey through Hell you will never forget. Welcome to My Hell.

  An extraordinary listening experience! Hear Nikki Giovanni read from her newest collection of poems! 
  One of America’s most celebrated poets challenges us with this powerful and deeply personal collection of verse that speaks to the injustices of society while illuminating the depths of her own heart. 
  For more than fifty years, Nikki Giovanni’s poetry has dazzled and inspired readers. As sharp and outspoken as ever, she returns with this profound book of poetry in which she continues to call attention to injustice and racism, celebrate Black culture and Black lives, and and give readers an unfiltered look into her own experiences. 
  In Make Me Rain, she celebrates her loved ones and unapologetically declares her pride in her Black heritage, while exploring the enduring impact of the twin sins of racism and white nationalism. Giovanni reaffirms her place as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice with poems such as “I Come from Athletes” and “Rainy Days”—calling out segregation and Donald Trump; as well as “Unloved (for Aunt Cleota)” and “”When I Could No Longer”—her personal elegy for the relatives who saved her from an abusive home life.  
  Stirring, provocative, and resonant, the poems in Make Me Rain pierce the heart and nourish the soul.
