Sinopsis

The Bothie of Tober-Na-Vuolich is an exemplary narrative poem that intricately weaves themes of romantic idealism, social critique, and the quest for spiritual truth. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, Clough employs a conversational and contemplative literary style, reflecting on the lives of a group of students and their interactions with the world around them. The poem's rich imagery and fluid structure invite readers to ponder the dichotomy between nature and society, while Clough's nuanced characterizations bring to life the struggles between personal aspiration and collective obligation, making this work a significant commentary on Victorian values. Arthur Hugh Clough, a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene, is often seen as a precursor to later modernist poets. His unique educational background at Oxford and exposure to transcendentalist ideas inspired his explorations of doubt and faith, evident in The Bothie. Clough's struggles with conventional religious beliefs and his commitment to social reform deeply influenced his writing, allowing him to articulate the inherent tensions between individual desires and societal limitations. This compelling poem is highly recommended for readers who wish to explore the complexities of Victorian thought and the human condition. Its lyrical beauty and philosophical depth make it a valuable addition to the canon of English literature, appealing to those interested in romanticism, social commentary, and the interplay between nature and humanity.

When Yasmin and her guide, Tshering, return from a perilous expedition to Everest without a member of their party, they have a lot of questions to answer. Where is Yasmin's husband Charlie? What happened on the mountain? Why do Yasmin and Tshering's accounts differ so drastically?
As private investigator Connie tries to distinguish hallucination from reality, and fact from delusion, it's clear that someone, somewhere, is not telling the truth.
Set at an altitude where life hangs by a thread, Carmen Nasr's play The Climbers is a thrilling exploration of the lure of the mountains, the drive to conquer and the price of staying alive. It was first performed in June 2022 at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, directed by Guy Jones.

'We're children of God, sister. No hunk of metal could replace any one of us.'
Behind the crumbling walls of St Grace's Convent, an exhausted order of nuns needs resurrecting. As Easter approaches, Mother Elizabeth has just the thing.
Behold 'Mary', a council-funded robot. Practical and surprisingly funny, for some a blessing, for others a curse – could she be the revelation they have all been praying for?
Electric Rosary is a sharp, timely and gloriously funny play by Tim Foley, asking what faith really means in the age of artificial intelligence and what it is to be human in tomorrow's world. It was a Judges' Award winner in the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2022.
