Synopsis

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grosmont.
This motley crew was assembled for a daring mission: to erect a plaque honouring the legendary Whitby whaler and explorer Captain William Scoresby Senior on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland. The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the plan... unhinged.
A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination, Bea Roberts's play The Whitby Rebels premiered at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 2024, directed by Paul Robinson.

    I had been wearing my blue jeans at home and when we were around family, but hadn’t really gone out in public yet, until that day… 
    As I put my jeans on that morning, I kept telling myself, “Wearing jeans is not a sin and I should be able to wear them anywhere I want.” I knew though that if anyone from “the church” saw me, to them it would only confirm that I had backslid and was on my way to hell. Some of them thought that already, simply because we had left the church we had been attending since 2001 and were now going to an Assembly of God. But I had to take this first step for myself.

    Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, 
          Ere the sorrow comes with years ? 
    They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, — 
          And that cannot stop their tears.

    Alexander Woollcott called Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "the man who wrote the most enchanting nonsense in the English language." Besides his many stories, Lewis Carroll wrote nonsensical poems. Eleven of his poems appear here, the most famous of which being Jabberwocky, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and The Hunting of the Snark. Narrator Griffin Rogers recorded Jabberwocky as a Christmas present for his son before spending the next several years recording additional nonsense whenever he was able to find an unlocked window and sneak into a recording studio. (If that sounds like a lot of nonsense to you, you will love this audiobook - and so will your children.)

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
     
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
     
    It is at first difficult to comprehend that the carnage and slaughter of War could yield some of our greatest poetry.  Harder still that in four years of horror humanity was able to destroy and create on such a scale.  These 10 poets and their verses speak for everyone.
