  Gaia is a channeled poetry book about claiming your inner goddess, and finding your truth.  
  This poetry book is for those who are ready to step fully into themselves, and their divine feminine energy. 
  Now is the time 
  For the Goddess to rise 
  To help us dissolve 
  All the lies 
  All the things 
  That we've been told 
  That have influenced us 
  As we grow old 
  It's time for you 
  To make the choice 
  To heed the wisdom 
  Of your inner voice 
  It will call to you 
  In times of change 
  But this is the way 
  Your life will arrange 
  So that you can claim 
  The Goddess within 
  Find your truth 
  And what you believe in 
  This channeled poetry book was inspired by the rising feminine energy on the planet at this time. 
  If it’s time to claim your inner goddess, let Gaia Rise Of The Goddess connect you back with the heartbeat of mother earth!

  'You care a lot, that's nice. It shows your age.'
  Jay's new. He's just started as a temp in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. He arrives with little more than a fledgling desk plant and well-meaning plans to change the broken system. Angela's been working here for over thirty years and nothing seems to faze her – except Jay.
  Exhausted and worn down by archaic protocol, Jay starts bending the rules in a desperate attempt to help their patients. But when professional boundaries are crossed and trust is shattered, he discovers the harsh reality of what's truly at stake.
  Sophia Chetin-Leuner's play This Might Not Be It is a candid portrayal of human lives at the mercy of our crumbling NHS. The play was longlisted for the Verity Bargate Award and shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting. It was premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Ed Madden and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions.

  Two plays from the acclaimed playwright debbie tucker green.
  trade is a short play dealing with the controversial topic of female sex tourism.
  Three black women on a Caribbean island: a hip young thing from London, an older tourist and a resident native. One subject. Two worlds. Three points of view.
  trade was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company as part of the 2005 New Work Festival in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in October 2005. (An earlier version of the play was performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company as part of the 2004 New Work Festival at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, in October 2004, and Soho Theatre, London, in March 2005).
  generations is a 30-minute drama about three generations of a black South African family who contest their relative culinary skills. But food isn't the only topic and the family numbers are declining...
  generations was first seen as a Platform performance at the National Theatre, London, on 30 June 2005. The play was revived at the Young Vic, London, in March 2007, in a production directed by Sacha Wares.
  'Poetry laced with shards of broken glass... short, sharp and pungent theatre' - Guardian on trade
  'Packs more into its single intense act than most plays twice its duration manage... shocking emotional violence... a riveting examination of the queasy relationship between two parts of our economically divided world. A small wonder' - The Times on trade
  'An entire continent made personal in debbie tucker green's devastating play... runs for fewer than 30 minutes, but will last you a lifetime' - Guardian on generations
