Synopsis

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.
Disponible depuis: 23/06/2022.
Longueur d'impression: 88 pages.

    A startling psychological drama about the darker side of modern parenthood.
    Behind the shiny door of Hazel Robinson's immaculate London home, things aren't as good as they look. Her plastic surgeon husband, Richard, has embarked on his latest charitable mission to Haiti, leaving the heavily pregnant Hazel to cope with a failing business and a problem son. When a professional nanny arrives unannounced on her doorstep, Hazel finds her home under the shadow of a seemingly perfect stranger, and one who has an agenda of her own. 
    Nancy Harris's play Our New Girl was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2012.

As social isolation has become prolonged due to COVID 19 pendemic , his challenge was how to provide comfort and support to the young generation, plant dreams and hopes in their souls and heal their minds and bodies. So he would like to write a lyrical poems as if he was writing a letter to a lover or friend he miss or as if he was confessing his love and to provide love poems in sensuous language to young readers. In this case he said he tried his best to think outside the widespread emotions for the complicated 'postmoderism' poetry and encourage readers to recover their pure minds. The reason he wrote this collection , was to plant a work that could speak to the souls of readers like a painting or a poems.

    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. 
    For centuries England has always had a leading and admired reputation for its poets and poetry.  In this volume we explore those born in the West Midlands who created such revered, enduring and respected verse.

    M is a writer. M is a mother. M is a woman.
    The triumph of M's hit play is hijacked by motherhood. She is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.
    She wants to tell her story, her way. But everyone keeps giving her their opinions on who she is, who she ought to be, and how she's fucking everything up.
    Fiercely funny and brutally honest, Jane Upton's play (the) Woman shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth and what happens when a woman dares to question the definition of (her)self. It was shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and first performed by New Perspectives on tour of the UK in 2025.
