Sinopse

'We should've seen this coming. We did. We did see this coming. The world will not be kind to us because we haven't given it a reason to be.'
On his fifteenth birthday, Noble transforms into a bird. Thousands of miles away, his sister Cleo is stationed on a remote island with the British Antarctic Survey.
But the birds have disappeared and Noble needs to reach her. Lying low until it's safe to take flight, he finds solace in misfit Ellis, while his mum desperately tries to stop their home from falling apart.
The world turns. Dark clouds gather. Chaos is on the horizon...
Billie Collins's play Too Much World at Once is an urgent coming-of-age story for our times – and a lyrical, theatrical journey that spans continents and lives. It was premiered at HOME, Manchester, in March 2023 by Box of Tricks Theatre before a UK tour.

Finding Freedom in the Face of Grief: A journey of Family and Self-Discovery. Ayse is incredible and she is not even aware of it. 
Ayse Balkos's first book, Come To Tower, is the poetry collection of a fresh voice of a renegade woman, angry, hopeful, strong, confused, clear and vulnerable. The poems are accompanied by Ash Gray’s beautiful tones of Hummingbird Gibson acoustic guitar, dazzlingly honest, unpretentious and real journey of a soul. 
A goodbye letter and a fresh new journey. Her voice is elegant, unique and original. This is what a new poetry bursting from raw heart sounds like. 
Ayse's untamed words and Ash’s melodies will take you on a journey to a different reality. 
She was born with a sense of void and that void taught her how to listen to her feelings. We are grateful for that sense and pain she had to go through to write these verses. 
This audio book is an hour long.

Come join me in reading the one of Oscar Wilde's only remaining tragedies, based on one of the most notorious recollections of the Bible. A story of gruesome ends for gruesome desires that shocked many of the theater goers in the late 1800's. 
Salomé, the daughter of Herodious, has become utterly smitten with John the Baptist due to his rebuke of her advances. This causes her to desire him and only him, even unto death. ... His Death. 
Come listen to the play that was the inspiration for the opera of the same name written by Richard Strauss, and one of the very first embodiments of the femme fatale.

'I'm the one who's left behind. I'm the one to tell the tale. I knew them both, knew how they lived and how she died.'
Ella Grey and her friends are ordinary kids from ordinary families in an ordinary world. They fall in and out of love, play music, stare at the stars, yearn for excitement, and have parties on the beautiful beaches of Northumberland. One day a stranger – a musician called Orpheus – appears on the beach, entrancing them all, but particularly Ella. Where have they come from and what path will Ella follow?
A Song for Ella Grey is a version of the myth of Orpheus that sings of the madness of youth, the ache of love, and the near-impossibility of grasping death. Zoe Cooper's stage adaptation of David Almond's award-winning novel was first produced in 2024 by Pilot Theatre, in association with Northern Stage and York Theatre Royal.
This edition includes the full text of the play along with a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.
Praise for the novel:
'Infused with lyricism and with the fire and oddness of adolescence. Fresh, involving and lucid, it is a song in itself and teens will find it fills them with poignant longing and joy' Telegraph
'The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is retold against a wild Northumbrian landscape: life, death, love and myths. Just wonderful' Bookseller
'Extraordinary' Metro
'Spell-binding… impossible to resist' Herald

The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
In this volume we gather together those men who, with the touch of a Royal sword, are elevated from mere men to a distinction and elite class that nothing else can offer.  Their talents as poets too are also beyond the ability of almost all other men.
