Sinopse

1917: World War One is raging in Europe. In Britain, Sterling Ladies – known as the Dagenham Invincibles – are playing to win. For two whirlwind seasons, they never lose a game. Yet once peace is restored, the factory girls must hang up their boots and see triumph fade into obscurity.
2023: Injured footballer Maya follows England's progress through the Women's World Cup. The world has changed, yet the roar of the Lionesses echoes the Invincibles' war-cry. Watching at home, Maya fears she'll never play again – but as she loses herself in the present, she hears the call of the past and finds fresh hope for the future.
Amanda Whittington's play The Invincibles celebrates two generations of inspirational women, and their adventures on the football pitch a century apart. It was premiered at Queen's Theatre Hornchurch in 2023, and offers rich opportunities for other theatre companies looking to score a hit with their audiences.

    Metamorphosis explores generational trauma, heartbreak, shadow work, and ultimately coming to truth, self-love, and wholeness. 
    Metamorphosis is divided into three chapters, each diving deeper into a different phase of the metamorphosis. As you listen, you will go through the journey of healing with me—bearing witness to my state of mind, thoughts, and feelings. You will be submerged into my world as I transform from a caterpillar to butterfly, experiencing pain, healing, death, and rebirth. 
    My hope is that Metamorphosis can serve as a healing tool for you, as a catalyst guiding you to explore your own depths honestly and bravely so that you too can emerge anew.

    In the deeply personal Decade of the Brain, Janine Joseph writes of a newly-naturalized American citizen who suffers from post-concussive memory loss after a major auto accident.The collection is an odyssey of what it means to recover—physically and mentally—in the aftermath of trauma and traumatic brain injury, charting when “before” crosses into “after.” Through connected poems, buckling and expansive syntax, ekphrasis, and conjoined poetic forms, Decade of the Brain remembers and misremembers hospital visits, violence and bodily injury, intimate memories, immigration status, family members, and the self.  
    After the accident I turned outall of the lights in the room while I watched, 
    concussed, from the mirror. I edged like a feverwith nothing on the tip of my tongue.

Daily acts of violence and persecution are commonplace in a once-prosperous realm.For twenty-year-old Aetna Vespiri, daughter of a revered Sicilian knight, survival has become second nature.

Now, standing at the forefront of an accelerating people’s rebellion, Aetna finds herself fighting not only for a nation she believes in but also for the meaning of family. In her darkest hour, this dauntless Sicilian woman steps out of obscurity and into the pages of history.The legend of Siciliana is born.Set amid bustling Arab markets and brooding Norman fortresses, Siciliana will envelop readers in the sights, sounds, and dangers lurking around every corner of medieval Sicily.
