Sinopsis

In "The Cup and The Falcon," Alfred Tennyson weaves a rich tapestry of themes including love, destiny, and the complexity of human emotions through a lyrical and evocative style characteristic of Victorian poetry. This poetic drama unfolds in two parts, the first focusing on the Epiphany of love and the trials it encompasses, while the second delves into the metaphysical and philosophical questions surrounding choice and consequence. Tennyson's masterful use of language and vivid imagery invoke a deep emotional resonance, situating this work firmly within the context of Romanticism and the evolving concerns of the 19th century. Alfred Tennyson, the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, was profoundly influenced by personal loss and Victorian ideals, which permeate his poetry. His deep engagement with myth, history, and spirituality led him to explore the boundaries of romantic love and human ambition. "The Cup and The Falcon" showcases Tennyson's fascination with the interplay between fate and free will, likely stemming from his own experiences and the prevailing societal dilemmas of his time. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay of love and philosophy, as well as those who appreciate the thematic depth and lyrical beauty of Victorian poetry. Tennyson's profound insights into human nature provide an enriching exploration for scholars, poetry enthusiasts, and casual readers alike.

    A poetic collage of art in the modern world: from Rilkean elegies for an iPhone to a meditation on Melville's classic
    Jonathan Ball's fourth poetry book, the first in seven years, swirls chaos and confession together. At the book's heart is a question: Why create art? A series of poetic sequences torment themselves over this question, offering few answers and taking fewer prisoners. Loose sonnets that consider the artistic creations of Leatherface, monster-killer from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, sit alongside Rilkean elegies for an iPhone. Surreal meditations on the collage work of Guy Maddin are followed by all of the lines from Melville's Moby-Dick that mention "salt." Politicians and painters jostle while absurdist humour crashes into stark admissions of vulnerability in the wake of having children. A startling diversity of styles and subjects feed into the maelstrom of The National Gallery, and its dark currents will draw you in to drown.

    'You'll remember how much of living is really just forgetting.'
    The family home is more than a building. It's a destination of pilgrimage, an inherited investment, a repository of memory or magic. But, for brother and sister Stephen and Billie, home is all they've got. Mucking along in their decaying farmhouse, they're doing just fine.
    That is, until the arrival of an ex-clergyman uncle with an unscrupulous plan, a sister-in-law seeking a miracle, and a prodigal brother hell-bent on trouble…
    An entrancing tale of fate, family and unseen forces in 1980s Ireland, Conor McPherson's play The Brightening Air was the winner of the Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. It was first performed at The Old Vic, London, in 2025, directed by the playwright.

    'Every winner might be the one who loses the next day.'
    Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and winning.
    But an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law, where the burden of proof and morality diverge.
    Prima Facie by Suzie Miller is an award-winning play for a solo actor, taking us deep into a world where emotion and integrity are in conflict with the rules of the game.
    After several acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, the play received its European premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in April 2022. It was produced by Empire Street Productions, directed by Justin Martin, and starred Jodie Comer, the Emmy and Bafta Award-winning star of TV's Killing Eve, making her West End debut.
    It won Best New Play at both the Olivier Awards and the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2023.
