  What if your deepest longing belonged to someone who lived before you? 
  Spanning continents and generations, Love is the Bridge is an epic tale of three love stories—one of forbidden desire, one of sacred surrender, and one of a soul divided across time. 
  From New York’s boardrooms to Rumi’s Konya, from a Berlin haunted by memory to the vanished gardens of Shiraz and Kabul, Arian Nazrani’s journey begins as a search for truth. At the helm of a crumbling tech company, he finds himself unraveling—caught between the demands of a fading world and the stirrings of a deeper call. 
  When he uncovers his uncle Masud’s lost diary—a poetic chronicle of heartbreak and mystical awakening—Arian is drawn into a world where time dissolves, and love transcends lifetimes. 
  In the whirl of sacred rhythm, past and present collapse—and Arian glimpses a love that once lived through Masud, and now lives again through him. 
  This is a story of longing. 
  Of exile and return. 
  Of love that survives death and distance. 
  Because time is an illusion. 
  And love is the bridge.

  Read by the author, Harry Josephine Giles.Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is a challenging and subversive collection of poems about trans life as it is lived today, through the lenses of work, technology and ecology.Witty, candid, furious, and always compelling, Them! negotiates the fraught and fruitful space between the worlds of ‘online’ and the ‘outside’, and how they fuse and diverge in the imagination.Giles’ visual poetics create an unusually dynamic reading experience as she finds new ways ‘to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what’s possible’. At a time when trans rights are to the fore in public discourse, Them! is a zestful poetic intervention from one of this generation’s most necessary poets.

  Chapter 5 - Changes - The story behind the song: The journey we take through life will lead us to paths that either advance us or cause our decline, but we are the ones who must decide which path to take, which change we make, for these are our choices and our changes that ultimately define who we become. 
   
  Author Bio: 
  Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
   
  Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
   
  The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.

  Set in contemporary, post-pandemic London, full of illicit sex, political hypocrisy and the machinations of a fame-hungry elite, Scandaltown is a comedy for the new Restoration of the theatres.
  Mike Bartlett's play was first produced by the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, in association with Fictional Company, at the Lyric in April 2022, directed by Artistic Director Rachel O'Riordan.
  '[Mike Bartlett] is one of the prime movers in a new golden generation of British playwrights' Independent
  'A rambunctious, modern-day Restoration comedy... a springtime pantomime with knowing humour, smut, silliness and arch references to the hypocrisies of the state... joyfully silly stuff' - Guardian
  'Laugh-out-loud funny... the mashup of Restoration cadences and modern argot is spot on' - Evening Standard
  'Extremely funny... Bartlett's writing is always clever and lively, and he hits his targets' - WhatsOnStage
