The Song of Roland is a book of poems by an anonymous author. It depicts a gory French tale of war, where General Charlemagne was ambushed in a remote Pyrenean pass, showcasing a symbolic struggle between Christianity and Islam.
Camelot is in trouble. If King Arthur doesn't turn things around soon, his reign will be remembered as nothing more than a rather dull period in British history. Enter three hapless squires with a plan... and a legend is born. This hilarious retelling of the Arthurian legends brings to life King Arthur (obvs), the lovely Guinevere, the enigmatic Merlin, the Lady of the Lake and the Lady of Shalott, the evil Morgana and her troublesome son Mordred, and more Knights than you can fit round an oblong table. Following in the hoofsteps of Le Navet Bete's previous hit adaptations, Dracula: The Bloody Truth, The Three Musketeers and Treasure Island, all co-created with John Nicholson (The Hound of the Baskervilles), it toured the UK in 2023 and 2024. Originally performed by three actors playing several dozen characters, King Arthur offers rich opportunities for any theatre company, drama group or Round Table to create their own legendary production and a spectacular knight to remember.Ver libro
Over a decade, Fishamble commissioned and called for submissions of tiny plays that reflected major changes in Irish society from 2011-2021. Inviting playwrights to submit plays of less than 600 words, the company produced 50 tiny plays in Tiny Plays for Ireland, 10 tiny plays in Tiny Plays 24/7, and 10 tiny plays in partnership with ESB in Tiny Plays for a Brighter Future. These productions of tiny plays created a patchwork quilt of theatre to reflect the times through which we were living. They were performed in Project Arts Centre Dublin, Irish Arts Center New York, and Kennedy Center Washington DC, as well as shared online. This anthology publishes all 70 tiny plays, providing an invaluable resource of four-minute plays for actors, directors, students, and teachers.Ver libro
The meeting, the courtship, the wedding and the honeymoon have all now been completed. Having got this far the real journey lays before every married couple seeking the love, stability, support and joys of a long-term relationship. The state of the newly-weds is now at hand. The meeting of minds and the living together can become a source of friction or ignition to a deeper understanding. Physically the very first blush of lust and desire is replaced by an understanding that life and our own biological and emotional clocks, for some, may now require that children be brought into the mix and families raised. Yes, that interlude when the bliss of being a newly-wed – announced and seen as such to a wider society – really doesn’t last that long. Time to savour the days and nights of love’s sweet wonder. Our classic poets, of course, have much to say and advise on. With the storied likes of Christopher Marlowe, Khalil Gibran, Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and even George Orwell then the listener is in wise and knowing hands. 01 - Poems for Newly-Weds - An Introduction 02 - On Marriage by Khalil Gibran 03 - I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale 04 - Love is Not All (Sonnet XXX) by Edna St Vincent Millay 05 - A Bridal Toast by James Madison Bell 06 - Wedding Song by Jehudah Halevi 07 - Epithalamion by James Elroy Flecker 08 - Epithalamion by Gerard Manley Hopkins 09 - Wedding Day by Edith Nesbit 10 - Rose of All the World by D H Lawrence 11 - Wedded by Isaac Rosenberg 12 - He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven by W B Yeats 13 - A Bridal Song by John Ford 14 - To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet 15 - An Extract of the Wife's Will by Charlotte Bronte 16 - Sonnet to My Wife by Thomas Hood 17 - To a Husband by Anne Kingsmill Finch 18 - On Love by Khalil Gibran 19 - Two Lovers by George Eliot 20 - Love's Unity by Alfred Austin 21 - Spiritual Love by Alfred Austin 22 - The Definition of Love by Andrew Marvell 23 - Sonnet 116 - Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds by William Shakespeare 24 - To The Beloved by Alice Meynell 25 - Beloved by Hafiz 26 - Vice Vearsa by Ambrose Bierce 27 - Romance by George Orwell 28 - Mutual Forebearance.

'Every winner might be the one who loses the next day.' Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and winning. But an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law, where the burden of proof and morality diverge. Prima Facie by Suzie Miller is an award-winning play for a solo actor, taking us deep into a world where emotion and integrity are in conflict with the rules of the game. After several acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, the play received its European premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in April 2022. It was produced by Empire Street Productions, directed by Justin Martin, and starred Jodie Comer, the Emmy and Bafta Award-winning star of TV's Killing Eve, making her West End debut. It won Best New Play at both the Olivier Awards and the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2023.Ver libro
The Shangri LaTitudes of the title are not some imaginary abodes in the clouds, above and beyond ordinary reality. These latitudes are the ones which lie where the paths of Truth and Beauty cross, forming quadrants where each sub-subject comingles to form fresh ruminations, not unlike those from Rumi, not unlike Four Quartets by Eliot, though using forms unfamiliar to either poet. There are four rooms in the human heart, each one its own experiential zone where passions move around, up down and around within the stream of consciousness, as well as stirring the subconsciousness. Perhaps the latter ruminations form the greater portion of the poems in this selection. This is a book of brief poems deliberately constructed for easy reading, brief pieces that can be picked up and put down within a few moments. One or two poems may take longer to digest, but hopefully the same intensity of feeling will be there, like a bonsai arriving at your coffee table, all trim, newly in flower.Ver libro
The Flame of Her Will is an erasure of the Malleus Maleficarum, a text long used to justify witch-hunts. The poems in this collection invert and subvert the original text, paring away the misogyny and hatred until what is left is a lost woman's voice, challenging a history that requires her silence.Ver libro
