    Chunkyz Shisha Lounge is a home away from home for Jihad, Rashid, and Asif, a space where community whispers are heard, jokes are told, and new hustles are born. But its future is under threat, having become a target for local politicians.
    Aspiring journalist Jihad wants to fight back. After winning a competition to produce his own documentary, he sets out to create something that gives a voice to his community and challenges the usual stereotypes that fill the airwaves. Will he be able to create something that makes his boys proud? Or will his dreams of becoming a journalist come at a cost too high to bear?
    Mohamed-Zain Dada's debut play, Blue Mist, is a story about South Asian Muslim men navigating a system that isn't built for them. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in October 2023, directed by Milli Bhatia, in a co-production with SISTER.
    'Vivid and ambitious… complex ideas presented with verve… could not be more current, or urgent' - Guardian
    'Boisterously enjoyable… Dada has a real feel for character and atmosphere, and his debut is shot through with vibrancy' - Evening Standard
    'A lovable drama about a trio of male Muslim friends and the run-down shisha lounge they hang out in... gets right to the heart of what a safe space can be for young men and how devastating it is to violate that… So many great lines whizz by in the back-and-forth of Dada's dialogue' - Time Out
    'A drama that touches on a range of urgent themes and shows the importance of public spaces for our increasingly isolated urban youth' - WhatsOnStage
    'Mohamed-Zain Dada's warm, well-observed sitcom handles sensitive themes around Islamophobia and men's mental health with care and compassion… his vibrant, naturalistic dialogue is packed with slang and striking turns of phrase… an alternative perspective that is refreshing and necessary' - The Stage

    Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, was the first collection of poetry produced by Robert Burns. Published in Kilmarnock in July 1786 it has become known as The Kilmarnock Edition. The contents include 44 of Burns' best known poems including To a Louse, The Cotter's Saturday Night, To a Mouse, The Twa Dogs and To a Mountain Daisy. Released in 2009 to celebrate Burns' 250th birthday, The Luath Kilmarnock Edition brought this classic of Scottish literature back into print, after being unavailable for many years. New material includes an introduction by 'the man who played Burns' -author, actor and Burns expert -John Cairney, exploring Burns' life and work, especially the origins of The Kilmarnock Edition. Looking to the future of Burns in Scotland and the rest of the world, Clark McGinn, world-renowned Burns Supper speaker, provides an afterword that speaks to Burns' continuing legacy. Illustrated throughout with original line drawings by top political satirist Bob Dewar, The Luath Kilmarnock Edition makes a beautiful gift for any Burns enthusiast. "This special illustrated edition celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, probably the world's favourite poet. Poems Cheifly in the Scottish Dialect, the only book of his poetry published in his short lifetime, is probably the most significant book ever published from Scotland. Kilmarnock saw that first edition of a young man's poems published in 1786 and Burns has not beeen out of print for a single day since. We are still reading, reciting and enjoying these poems... the writing, life and character of this Ayrshire ploughman inspire deep human emotion around the globe. - FROM THE AFTERWORD BY CLARK McGINN

    A play by the multitalented actor: “[Eisenberg] has a wry ear and a knack for unsentimental poignancy that keeps The Revisionist emotionally compelling.”—USA Today 
     
    Though he first became known for his acting in films ranging from The Squid and the Whale to The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg has also emerged as an acclaimed literary talent—a regular contributor to the New Yorker and a highly praised playwright. 
     
     
    In The Revisionist, his second play, young writer David arrives in Poland with a crippling case of writer’s block and a desire to be left alone. His seventy-five-year-old second cousin, Maria, welcomes him with a fervent need to connect with her distant American relative. As their relationship develops, she will reveal details about her postwar past that test their ideas of what it means to be a family. 
     
    This “tightly structured, deeply human play about the truthful mess of human experience” (Exeunt Magazine) had its world premiere at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York in spring 2013, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Vanessa Redgrave and directed by Kip Fagan. 
     
     
    “A rewarding account of cultural collision that yields unexpected reflections on the centrality of family in our lives—whether we idealize them or take them for granted…As a playwright, Eisenberg’s intentions seem clear. He takes a critical swipe at himself, and by extension, his entitled generation.”—Hollywood Reporter

Imé Corkery's brave narrative not only explores the trials and tribulations of living with Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD), a rare and excruciating chronic illness, but also delves deep into the essence of love, both human and mythological. As you embark on this medical journey alongside our resilient heroine, you'll witness the escalating trials, the strengthening of drugs, and the profound descent into a world of myth. Persephone's Pancreas is a profound exploration of love, pain, and the intricate dance between the two. If you've ever experienced the rawness of human emotions, this poetic masterpiece is a must-read, offering solace and inspiration to all who seek the light in the darkest of times. 
    Harrowing, sharp-witted, tender, raw and necessary, this is an indelible account from a poet with the sheer nerve to keep testifying, even when ‘pain is at its zenith.’ Persephone’s Pancreas is a collection from a writer who deserves the title heroine. - Tracey Slaughter  
    Persephone's Pancreas draws us skin to skin with chronic pain...sensory detail, myth and the everyday, to find the things needed to survive the liminal and lost zones of a long ‘sick girl summer.’- Aimee-Jane Anderson-O’Connor
