Sinopsis

A stunningly ambitious work from one of the UK's most influential playwrights.  
Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before.  
In this fast-moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know. Premiered at the Royal Court in September 2012.  
'This exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope... What is extraordinary about Churchill is her capacity as a dramatist to go on reinventing the wheel' The Guardian  
'The wit, invention and structural integrity of Churchill's work are remarkable... She never does the same thing twice' The Telegraph  
'A wonderful web of complex emotions, memories, secrets and facts' A Younger Theatre

Goethe - A Very Short Introduction

In 1878 the Victorian critic Matthew Arnold wrote: "Goethe is the greatest poet of modern times . . . because having a very considerable gift for poetry, he was at the same time, in the width, depth, and richness of his criticism of life, by far our greatest modern man."In this Very Short Introduction Ritchie Robertson covers the life and work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832): scientist, administrator, artist, art critic and supreme literary writer in a vast variety of genres. Looking at Goethe's poetry, novels, and drama pieces, as well as his travel writing, autobiography, and essays on art and aesthetics, Robertson analyses some of the key themes in his works: love, nature, religion and tragedy. Dispelling the misconception of Goethe as a sedate Victorian sage, Robertson shows how much of his art was rooted in turbulent personal conflicts, and draws on recent research to present a complete portrait of the scientific work and political activity which accompanied Goethe's writings.

Papua, with its vast regions of unexplored jungles and isolated 
indigenous tribes, is home to a medicinal plant with potent 
curative powers. The plant’s unique ability to regenerate 
human nerves is even more consequential. Neurological  
scientist Ripon Siraj and his research botanist sister, Rava,   
search Papua’s interior rivers for this rare miracle plant when  
they become the target of a scurrilous Asian virologist.  
A co-worker and his girlfriend are mistaken for Rip and Rava 
and are murdered. Rip calls Washington D.C. for help- 
Gar Randolph and his unconventional Grey Hawk International 
team soon intervene to provide support and protection. 
Papua’s jungles run deep with intrigue. The Taritatu River 
reveals breath-taking beauty around every bend but beware. 
Deadly inhabitants lurk in the shadows. Tension poisons 
serenity. Everyone comes under a cloud of danger.
