  Lines Off - Poetry

  Catching a sudden look of defiance from his granddaughter inspires Hugo Williams to take up his pen and write this deeply moving new collection of poetry - the first since I Knew the Bride (2014), shortlisted for the Forward and T. S. Eliot prizes. He navigates assuredly from thoughtful reminiscences of childhood and accounts of the war, through various climes and sensitively drawn relationships, to grim humour in the hospital ward and growing older with its attendant doubts and disappearances. The collection retains the same mischief, frankness and joie-de-vivre that have earned Williams so much praise and readership.

  An electrifying drama about what happens to personal identity in an age of ubiquitous technology and social media.
  John is a twenty-seven-year-old teacher 'who probably wasn't allowed to teach at an all-girls' school' and Mark is his sixteen-year-old 'Olympic porn-watching' pupil. A normal week in their normal lives - school, eat, TV, sleep, repeat.
  Except in an age of twisted technology and unfettered profiles, the life Mark really wants is only a click away' but what happens when that life already belongs to John? By Friday, the shit really is going to hit the fan.
  Two interlinking monologues, WINK examines two lives veering dangerously close to collision, asking us what separates the man from the boy.
  WINK, Phoebe Eclair-Powell's debut play, was first produced by Tara Finney Productions and Theatre503, and premiered at Theatre503, London, in March 2015.

  They don't seem an obvious match. Joanne is spiky, defensive, a survivor; Paul is quiet, considered – and hiding profound grief for his father. But the pleasure he takes in cooking – and the astonishing food he prepares – creates a bond between them.
  When the hotel where they both work closes and they start to spiral into poverty, it throws everything up in the air – first their plans for a cookbook and a restaurant, and, eventually, even their dreams of a future together…
  Gareth Farr's play Biscuits for Breakfast is a tender, heartfelt drama about families – the ones we inherit and the ones we create – and the struggle to survive when times get tough. It opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in May 2023, directed by Tessa Walker.
  'Sparks fly in a foodie love story… Gareth Farr's two-hander has energy and passion and fire' - The Times
  'Powerful… a stirring two-hander about love of food and lack of food' - The Stage
  'Compassionate and heartbreaking' - WhatsOnStage
  'A deeply touching, yet defiantly unromantic relationship drama… paints a picture of a society in which ambitions are thwarted and ordinary working people are driven into poverty… Everything about Farr's play rings true and it should serve as a wake up call to anyone who is prone to taking comfortable lifestyles for granted' - Reviews Hub
