  Herding Cats (NHB Modern Plays)

  Lucinda Coxon

  A chillingly funny play that freeze-frames a generation negotiating intimacy and independence in the twenty-first century.
  Meeting the demands of twenty-first-century life is as impossible as herding cats for Justine, Michael and Saddo.
  Justine has an infuriating new boss, Michael chats to strangers for a living, Saddo is one of them. All three are living a comic fiction in an attempt to avoid the facts. And now Christmas is coming... ready or not.
  'the polished black shards of humour and ripples of queasy horror make for a compelling cackle into the void' - Time Out
  'Lucinda Coxon's brutal but icily funny three-hander is the dramatic equivalent of a triple shot of something bitter and delicious... fine theatre' - Evening Standard
  'Unforgettable' - The Times
  'A cool gaze on the disconnectedness of contemporary life which lets nobody off the hook... So brutal, you almost forget to breathe' - Guardian

  Icecream - an unsettling look at British attitudes to America, and vice versa
  Mad Forest - Churchill's response to the Romanian Revolution The Skriker - a 'spellbinding' piece combining English folk tales with modern urban life
  Thyestes - a 'bleakly eloquent new translation of Seneca's Roman tragedy' (Sunday Times).
  Plus two collaborative pieces combining word and dance:
  Lives of the Great Poisoners - a libretto to music by Orlando Gough and choreography by Ian Spink
  A Mouthful of Birds - written with David Lan

  Butchers On The Moon

  Jack Norton

  Butchers On The Moon was originally published as a 40 page manifesto of sorts from an impossibly young poet, songwriter and filmmaker from Minnesota named Jack Norton. Sold mostly at his concerts, only one copy of the original chapbook is known to exist today and can be found in the archives at the University of Mississippi in Oxford. 
  Jack burned all writings (poems, songs, short stories and a novel) he worked on before 2008, so these lost gems are a true treasure. 
  This expanded edition includes several additional poems written in the same period but not included in the original publication. An unpublished chapbook manuscript - The Well Ran Dry - was recently found in the archives of the editor of Fugawee Bird Press, publisher of the original Butchers On The Moon chapbook. These are also included within this edition.

  Early dramatic works—plus two essays—by the author of Lolita and Pale Fire.   Including The Man from the USSR, The Event, The Pole, and The Grand-dad, this volume collects works for the theater written during Vladimir Nabokov’s émigré years, before his writings in English earned him worldwide fame and made him a seven-time National Book Award finalist. Also included are two of his essays on drama: “Playwriting” and “The Tragedy of Tragedy.”   Translated and with introductions by Dmitri Nabokov, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the work of the novelist, one of the twentieth century’s acknowledged literary geniuses.
