Beschreibung

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov's "The Sea-Gull," written in 1895, is a poignant exploration of the complexities of artistic aspiration and human relationships. This play is characterized by Chekhov's distinctive literary style, which combines realism with a delicate blend of humor and melancholy. Set in a Russian estate, the narrative reveals the tensions between the characters—writers, actors, and lovers—through their intricate dialogues and intersecting dreams. The play's themes of unrequited love, disillusionment, and the nature of art resonate deeply within the context of late 19th-century Russian literature, marking a shift from conventional melodrama towards a more nuanced portrayal of the inner lives of individuals. Chekhov, a physician by profession and a playwright by passion, drew upon his own experiences and observations of society to craft this masterpiece. His understanding of human psychology and his keen insight into the artistic struggle were instrumental in shaping the characters' poignant dilemmas. Chekhov's commitment to realism and his departure from traditional theatrical conventions underscore his belief in the complexity of human emotions and motivations. "The Sea-Gull" is highly recommended for readers keen on delving into the intricacies of human relationships and artistic expression. Chekhov's masterful dialogue and rich character development make this play a timeless exploration of the human condition.

    Trauma takes up real space within us, and it can be so difficult to hold. How do we access that place of longing and loss, of fragmented memory and grief? How do we carry it as we walk in the world? There’s no map for this, no clear path through the internal landscape it reshapes, no easy way to make meaning of our lives in that disoriented state. Mariella Saavedra Carquin confronts hard truths in this powerful debut collection, pushing through layered complexities of immigration, race, and identity to find a way forward.

    '"O, Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!"
    
    And so was I, which plainly signified
    
    That I should snarl and bite, play the dog.'
    Henry VI, Part 3
    Christopher Marlowe – rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and notorious spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined. William Shakespeare – jobbing actor and promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.
    When the pair meet in the backroom of a pub to collaborate on a cycle of history plays, tensions rise as they navigate the perils of art under an oppressive regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose…
    An explosively entertaining duel of wits, words and powerplay, Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of the relationship between two literary icons. The play was first performed in Houston, Texas, in 2022, where it won several major awards. In 2025, it received its European premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, produced by Playful Productions, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Grain of Sand Productions, directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans, and starring Ncuti Gatwa as Kit and Edward Bluemel as Will.

    The beating heart, the drumbeat, the very force of life.  What then when we say ‘it breaks’? ‘I’m heart-broken’? Few of us escape a life without some measure of heartache and the pain it causes.   
     
    In this volume we give full rein to our classic poets across the centuries from Shakespeare and Aphra Behn to Rupert Brooke, Edna St Vincent Millay, A E Housman and continue through Radclyffe Hall, Emily Dickinson and Oscar Wilde. 
     
    It is a journey through feelings, thoughts and expressions in words that we instantly understand, claim as our own and yet reveal other layers, other avenues of thought. 
     
    Whether to soothe the soul, to reconcile with a different perhaps fractured reality, and come to terms with dejection, rejection or vent with bitterness, rage and seek revenge, our poets have words and lines of verse to help balm, repair and better understand these emotional times.

    Sally, a beautiful young pregnant woman, came to the hospital supposedly for pre-term labor pains but delivered a fully mature, healthy boy. Her face, smiling with relief after the stress of delivery, quickly changed to apprehension.  
    “Doctor, what will you tell my husband and family? Can you please tell them that the baby is premature?” She asked. 
    “How can I?” Dr. Thomas replied helplessly. “The baby is fully grown and mature, as anyone can see.” 
    “You mean to say that there is nothing wrong with the child, Doctor?” Johnykutty, her husband, asked in dismay and anguish. “But we’ve been married for just seven months!” 
    Her husband and his family go away, leaving Sally and the illegitimate child. 
    What will be her future? 
    What fate awaits the unwanted child? 
    This book is an enchanting story of a young doctor couple who ventured into a remote, rural forested village to re-open a defunct hospital, their involvement in the mysteries and conflicts of their patients, the daunting challenges - both nonmedical and medical, the agony of failures, and the ecstasy of triumphs.
