  The One Girl Gremlin

  Phoebe Stuckes

  • 0

  • 0

  Her first pamphlet since her debut full collection Platinum Blonde sees Phoebe Stuckes' trademark poems of high humour and hubris take on a dreamier, more abstract, quality. Perhaps the 'wise-cracking party girl' of her earlier work is sensing that, for a while at least, the party is postponed. There isn't much worth staying up late for any more in these poems. Instead, our character lies awake in bed long into the night or wakes up into a pre-dawn world they barely recognise. And the strange new rural setting they wake to is inviting and also threatening and therefore not to be trusted.
  Phoebe Stuckes remains one of the most exciting horrifying hilarious unsettling poets writing today. The One Girl Gremlin is of course an absolute triumph!

  Johann Mobius, the world’s greatest physicist, is locked away in a madhouse along with two other scientists.  Why?  Because he is haunted by recurring visions of King Solomon, and the other two are convinced they are Einstein and Newton.   But are these three actually mad?  Or are they playing a murdererous game with the world at stake?  This darkly comic satire probes the cost of sanity among men of science and whether it is the mad who are the truly sane.An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Anne Gee Byrd, Matthew Patrick Davis, Bruce Davison, John de Lancie, Matt Gaydos, Harry Groener, Christopher Guilmet, Melinda Page Hamilton, Gregory Itzin, Roma Maffia and Missy Yager.The Physicists is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Major funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to enhance public understanding of science and technology in the modern world.

  William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the world’s most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time. 
  ‘We are such stuff 
  As dreams are made on; and our little life 
  Is rounded with a sleep.’ 
  Magical and dreamlike in its tone, Shakespeare’s The Tempest begins with a storm of epic proportions and a shipwreck. Banished from Italy, Prospero lives on a remote island with his daughter. Using his magic, he vows to seek revenge on the injustice dealt to him by his brother, but in doing so, Shakespeare questions the difficulty of distinguishing ‘men’ from ‘monsters’, and the realities of justice. 
  All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself. The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. 
  Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. 
  The full cast includes: Terrence Hardiman; Ian Lang; Michael Hordern; Denis McCarthy; Ian Lang; Denys Robertson; Derek Jacobi; Patrick Wymark; Philip Strick; Clive Swift; Natasha Parry; Miles Malleson; Margaret Field-Hyde; Jill Daltry; Margaretta Scott; Ena Mitchell. 
  This top performing piece of European theatre, short in length but best in quality, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes and unforgettable characters. The Tempest, a testament to Shakespeare's genius, remains a cornerstone in the world of drama. 
  For fans of Richard Parsons (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide), and Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy).

  A striking version of Chekhov's classic play by Charlotte Pyke, John Kerr and Joseph Blatchley, restoring to the play the cuts demanded by the Russian censor in 1896.
  In nineteenth-century rural Russia, an anxious young writer prepares the first performance of his new play for the two women in his life. The consequences are devastating, with everybody in love with the wrong person, and death hovering close by.
  Through both comedy and tragedy, Seagull explores lives that are precariously balanced between love and indifference, success and failure, hope and despair.
  This version of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull was first performed at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2011.
  'absorbingly vibrant - a Seagull that soars.' - The Times
  'wonderfully nimble... the play feels fresh and vital... full of warmth and wit' - Stage
  'new translation brings an immediacy and a vibrancy to the play that does it a world of good' - Whatsonstage.com
