  A darkly comic debut play about confession and the gravity of young love.
  Ramona is fifteen, hates bananas, and she's totally cool. Honestly. She's completely cool.
  It's 1998, and Ramona, of Englandshire, is on a wet, midge-riddled geography field trip, deep in the Scottish Highlands. There she meets Jim, a local laddie obsessed with hermit crabs, rock erosion and spider plants.
  When Ramona falls for Jim's awkward charm, she gets caught in a scandal that will haunt her for years to come.
  Sophie Wu's Ramona Tells Jim was commissioned by and first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in September 2017.
  'Sophie Wu has a knack for nifty dialogue. Her debut play is an engaging, quirky 80-minute piece about the kinship of oddballs and the disruptiveness of innocence' - Guardian

  The Bard of the Yukon ~ Banker, Hobo, and Klondike Poet 
  A downloadable PDF of Klondike Gold Rush illustrations is available on the Resources page at https://BookHip.com/FTCLVRT 
  Robert William Service was born in Lancashire, Engand in 1874. His mother was an heiress and his father a bank cashier. He was the eldest of 10 children. 
  When Service was 4 years old, he was sent to his grandfather and his 3 aunts in Scotland to live. He wrote his first poem two years later. 
  He was, it seemed, destined to be a poet and a wanderer. 
  In a 1958 CBC television interview, Canadian journalist Pierre Berton asked then 84 year old Robert Service why he had left Scotland and immigrated to Canada. 
  "I wanted freedom," said Service. "I wanted adventure. I got the idea, I want to be a hobo." 
  By the time the Klondike gold rush began, Robert Service was in San Francisco, carrying a hobo's bundle tied to his bindle stick. He used to stand in the street watching the gold prospectors marching off with their sacks, but he never dreamed of going himself. 
  "I was just a bindle stick," he told Burton. "How could I? I had no money." 
  Service wandered from California to British Columbia. He arrived in the Yukon in 1905 as a bank clerk and it was there where, surrounded by veterans of the gold rush, he began writing verses about the Yukon. 
  His first book of verses, Songs of the Sourdough, was published to acclaim in 1907, and was reprinted 10 times within the first year. Before his death in 1958, he had published over 1,000 poems and 45 verse collections. 
  The 2-room cabin in Dawson City where Robert Service lived from 1908 until his departure from the Yukon in 1912 is maintained as a Klondike National Historic Site by Parks Canada in honor of the Bard of the Yukon.

  Outwitting his captors, the Maniac dupes them into performing a farcical recreation of the incident, exposing the absurd corruption and terrifying idiocy at the heart of the system.
  Dario Fo and Franca Rame's riotous satire, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, has been widely performed around the world since its premiere in 1970. Tom Basden's hilarious, bang-up-to-date adaptation was first performed at Sheffield Theatres in September 2022.
