    But tonight I am super-charged, alive, looking into the eyes of / men . . . 
    In this intimate and vital debut, Richard Scott looks into the places not everyone sees or chooses to see. Against the backdrop of London's Soho, he creates an uncompromising portrait of love and shame, questioning our sense of the permissible and the perverse. Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine.  
    The collection crescendos to the title-poem, "Soho!," where a night stroll under the street lamps becomes a search for 'true lineage', a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.

    "Twas the Night Before Christmas," was originally published anonymously in 1823 as "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Perhaps the most famous Christmas poem of all time, it relates the story of a father awoken from his sleep on Christmas Eve by Santa Claus - St. Nick in the poem - who lands with his sleigh and "eight tiny reindeer" on the roof of the house, comes down the chimney and delivers toys to the family. He then departs, calling out as he flies away the famous closing line: "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"   A Christmas classic for two centuries, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" was claimed by author Clement C. Moore in 1837 and is presented here in its original and unabridged form.

    A chilling double-feature from two of the most celebrated writers of all time!  
     
    In Charles Dickens' The Signalman, the titular character (played by Sylvester McCoy of Doctor Who and The Hobbit) recounts to a traveling writer (Anthony D.P. Mann) the terrifying tale of a ghostly spectre who forewarns of death and tragedy.  
     
    Meanwhile, in a lively adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado, a despicable rival of the noble Claudio Montressor gets his just desserts in this darkly comedic tale of revenge and murder.

    Nadia wants to remain in the house she grew up in. For her sister, Reem, it is filled with painful memories. Are their differences over the future of the house irreconcilable?
    The House, by Lebanese writer Arzé Khodr, is taken from Plays from the Arab World, a collection of five extraordinary plays exploring and reflecting contemporary life across the Near East and North Africa, now available as individual ebooks.
    The full collection also includes:
    
    
    - Withdrawal by Mohammad Al Attar (Syria)
    - 603 by Imad Farajin (Palestine)
    - Egyptian Products by Laila Soliman (Egypt)
    - Damage by Kamal Khalladi (Morocco)
    In 2007 the Royal Court Theatre's International Department and the British Council embarked on an ambitious project working with twenty-one writers from across the Near East and North Africa. Seven of the resultant plays received rehearsed readings at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2008. Plays from the Arab World, introduced by Laila Hourani of the British Council, collects five of these unique new voices, each posing different but equally urgent questions.
