Synopsis

'I'm going to answer all your wishes, bubba! Big or small, it'll be me who makes them come true, no one else.'
Leila is happy living at home with Noor, her loving but traditional grandmother. But when Aleena, her fiercely independent mother, returns home from prison determined to deliver a new world of fun and excitement, their calm lives are upended in a blur of nail varnish and sweet treats.
Family secrets come tumbling into the light, and Leila finds the task of deciding on her future more difficult than she first thought.
Ambreen Razia's play Favour is a touching and hopeful family drama about a working-class Muslim family, tackling duty, addiction and the challenge of pulling yourself back together after it all falls apart. It was a Bush Theatre and Clean Break co-production and premiered at the Bush, London, in 2022, directed by Róisín McBrinn and Sophie Dillon Moniram.
Disponible depuis: 07/07/2022.
Longueur d'impression: 120 pages.

    Natures Silken Robes :: Bombyx mandarina 
    This poem was inspired by a program I saw on silkworms and their germination and metamorphosis into the adult moths (which they generally never get to because of the demand for their silk). 
    Domesticated silk moths don't survive the silk process of obtaining their silk. The death of the silk moth is not described in this Poem. The silk worm trade has been going for over 5,000 years and cultivated mainly in Asia. 
    The name the 'Silk Road' came about because of this highly lucrative trade. 
    The domesticated silk worms are called Bombyx mori, 
    and their Wild cousins are called Bombyx mandarina.

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan.  His critical work, especially on Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking culture. He coined many familiar words and phrases, including the celebrated suspension of disbelief. He was a major influence on Emerson, and American transcendentalism.Throughout his adult life, Coleridge suffered from crippling bouts of anxiety and depression; it has been speculated by some that he suffered from bipolar disorder, a condition not identified during his lifetime. Coleridge suffered from poor health that may have stemmed from a bout of rheumatic fever and other childhood illnesses. He was treated for these concerns with laudanum, which fostered a lifelong opium addiction. (Summary from Wikipedia)

As the grandmother reveals the startling story about her family, Viola quickly forgets her own troubles. The dilemma is that things have changed and even if she wanted to help, it might not be possible. Sympathizing with her kidnappers doesn’t exactly solve her problems. Or does it?

    Looking for Angels is a heartfelt collection of spoken word poetry that traces a deeply personal and spiritual journey through life, guided by the quiet presence of angels. In this follow-up to her acclaimed debut Thank God I Had Therapy Yesterday, Deb'bora offers a tender and lyrical tribute to the unseen forces that have offered her protection, comfort, and direction from childhood to adulthood. 
    With raw honesty and a deep sense of gratitude, each poem becomes a love letter to the divine messengers who have walked beside her in both light and darkness. Looking for Angels invites readers to reflect on their own moments of grace, their inner resilience, and the possibility that – even in silence – we are never truly alone.
