  'It's hard to imagine things getting back to normal after this though. I don't suppose they do from now on, not really.' 
  In the kitchen of an old Devon rectory, the daughter who stayed and the son who moved away make conversation with their current and former partners, the milkman, the postman, the care workers. They talk about the weather, the roads, the toaster, the bins. About anything except the simmering tensions between them, as their father lies mortally ill in the next room.
  Until the unspoken emotions and conflicts of years boil over.
  Eclipse is a painfully funny, acute and delicate play about our struggle to communicate, in the face of life and of death – and our infinite capacity for drinking tea. It was first performed in the Minerva Theatre at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2026, written and directed by John Morton.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Seven uni-verses is a pamphlet of poems dedicated to humanity’s exploration of the universe. There’s nothing quite as bold and beautiful as committing to venturing the brutal colossal desolation that is space. Every (civil) space launch carries not just hardware but hope. The act of exploring the void makes humans special. 
   
  As someone who has dedicated his work life to space, I’ve written these verses over the years to attempt and capture the sheer intensity of emotions and intellectual ambition the cosmos and its exploration evokes. While my poems are intended to be read by everyone, many lines allude to technical concepts for those in the know to savor. A few key references as well as backstories are mentioned in the endnotes.

  Based on the provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this adaptation gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?

  Wisdom & Worries - Reflections...

  The iconic Star Trek actor, known for playing Captain Kirk, and New York Times–bestselling author delivers a unique, moving memoir in poems and lyrics. 
  You know him from his voyages on the Starship Enterprise, as veteran cop T. J. Hooker, and Boston Legal lawyer Denny Crane. He's starred in his own one-man show on Broadway and has collaborated with Ben Folds, Brad Paisley, and others on his records. His spoken-word albums have been critically acclaimed, portions of which complement his latest reflections in Wisdom & Worries.
  As he nears the century mark, William Shatner is still boldly exploring new frontiers, including his own inner universe. In the pages of Wisdom & Worries, he looks back on his childhood in Montreal, his acting career, his connection with nature and animals, and the loves of his life. In soulful, rhythmic verses, Shatner reflects on his journey to find his place and uncover meaning in the world. 
  Shatner's poems, set to music across five albums, span a life lived with passion and purpose, including "Clouds of Guilt," his collaboration with Joe Jonas; "So Far from the Moon," lamenting the breakup of his first marriage and a low point in his career; "The Lion on the Wall," a nursery rhyme written for his grandchildren; and "So Fragile, So Blue," the poignant impressions he experienced during his space flight on Blue Origin at the age of ninety-one.
  Shatner's latest works have been hailed as possessing "a surprising depth of feeling" (The Washington Post) and as "unexpectedly poignant . . . less performance, more reckoning" (The Guardian). Wisdom & Worries contains multitudes. Curiosity, regret, connection, loneliness, and gratitude tie together a portrait of a man with an unlimited capacity to appreciate every moment of the past and all those yet to come.
