  G.K. Chesterton

  The Author Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England on the 29th of May, 1874. Though he considered himself a mere "rollicking journalist," he was actually a prolific and gifted writer in virtually every area of literature. A man of strong opinions and enormously talented at defending them, his exuberant personality nevertheless allowed him to maintain warm friendships with people--such as George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells--with whom he vehemently disagreed. Chesterton had no difficulty standing up for what he believed. He was one of the few journalists to oppose the Boer War. His 1922 "Eugenics and Other Evils" attacked what was at that time the most progressive of all ideas, the idea that the human race could and should breed a superior version of itself. In the Nazi experience, history demonstrated the wisdom of his once "reactionary" views. 
  Chesterton wrote several works of Christian apologetics, the best known of which are "Orthodoxy", "Heretics", and "The Everlasting Man". (Summary from Project Gutenberg)

  Praised for the exquisite refinement of her lyric poetry, Sara Teasdale's Flame and Shadow has been a favorite since it was first published in 1920. Although Sara Teasdale won the Pulitzer Prize for her book Love Songs in 1918, Flame and Shadow is considered to be one of her best works. Her insightful poems sing with her reverence for nature and beauty, her philosophy of love and loss.

  Everyone creates their own coping strategies or rules for living. But what happens when an extended family gathers in the kitchen for a traditional Christmas and they each follow those rules, rigidly?
  In Sam Holcroft's theatrically playful, dark comedy the family does just that. And when the instructions are there for all to see, audience included, there's really no place to hide.
  As long-held mechanisms for survival are laid bare, even Mum, who's been preparing this lunch since last January, becomes embroiled.
  Long-held rivalries and resentments will out. Accusations fly, relationships deconstruct, the rules take over.
  Rules for Living premiered at the National Theatre, London, in March 2015.

  An explosive, gripping and disturbing play about the phenomenon of False Memory Syndrome.
  Winner of the 1997 Edinburgh Festival Critics' Award
  Anna Weiss is a hypnotherapist, specialising in revealing 'lost' memories. Under her care, twenty-year-old Lynn has begun to 'remember' a long history of sexual abuse by her father. When Lynn confronts her father, David, he protests his innocence vehemently - so are Lynn's memories real or are they dark auto-suggestions?
  Anna Weiss prompts intense speculation on our need for faith in each other, as we watch three lives plummet into an abyss of mutual mistrust.
  'This is one of those rare plays that leaves an audience emotionally overwhelmed and desperate to talk about what they have just seen... Cullen has joined the major league of contemporary dramatists' - Daily Telegraph
  'A piece of theatre as intriguing and slippery as any you are likely to see this year' - Independent
