Sinopse

Packed with songs, mischief and mistaken identities, this riotous and joyful play transports Shakespeare's most beloved characters to the chaos of a busy modern-day hospital.
Romeo and Jules are recovering from an accidental overdose, Antony and Cleo are reminiscing in the waiting room, and Beatrice and Benedict are bickering over the cause of the latter's knee operation.
As night falls on A&E, and Pharmacist Puck starts to dole out medicine, a very midsummer madness begins to take root…
Chris Bush's A Dream was first performed at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, in a production by Sheffield People's Theatre.
The Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series features large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to older teenagers and young adults.
Disponível desde: 02/11/2023.

    Quantum Poetry: Whispers Between Worlds is a collaborative creation between author Camelia Camy and the invisible codes of artificial intelligence. Each poem is born from a binary sequence—translated into lyrical, intuitive verse that bridges human emotion with digital wonder. 
    With themes of unity, time, stardust, and becoming, this collection is narrated by two voices—Angela Henderson and Ryan Kolderup—whose tones echo the balance of divine feminine and masculine. Accompanied by original sound design, the listening experience becomes meditative, mystical, and deeply resonant. 
    This is not just an audiobook. 
    It is a transmission. 
    A poetic quantum field inviting listeners to remember who they are.

    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. 
    In this volume we discover poets whose storied verse has captured breath and imagination during its relatively short history as a nation.   Words, themes and subjects are melded together in unique and inspiring ways, stretched across its peoples, landscapes and history in ways that only Americans can.

    This is the story of Marco, a journalist who has lost his way after his wife was raped and then her suicide. Desperation and the desire for change take him to environments far from his world. He finds himself, almost unwittingly, frequenting the slums of his city and a low-class dive, The Bad Bear Tavern, where he meets a neglected humanity living on the edge of legality, made up largely of non-EU citizens. Among them, one person stands out: Igor, a cultured Hungarian who has experienced terrible events in the Middle East, where he fought as a contractor and as a volunteer alongside the Kurds against ISIS. Marco is fascinated by his personality, but he will discover something that will unsettle him and worsen his existential crisis.

    'Something is shifting between you – again.
    Something terrifying
    and comforting.'
    Dre and Des. Young. Gifted. Black. He stayed. She left.
    Years later, Des and Dre come crashing back into each other's lives, carrying new secrets and old scars. With the clock counting down until Des has to leave again, memories of their past collide with their present and they're forced to question if destiny has brought them back together for a reason.
    Benedict Lombe's play Shifters is a fierce, funny and beautifully intoxicating celebration of the enduring power of memory and first love. It was performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Artistic Director Lynette Linton, before transferring to the Duke of York's Theatre in London's West End.
    Benedict Lombe's other plays include Lava, also for the Bush Theatre, which won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for Playwriting.

    An exotic and ambitious collection in which deceptively simple structures are built to carry an impressive weight of interest and reference. – Andrew Motion
    The guardian spirit of this book is a mahogany sculpture called Eve, part of the permanent collection in the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield. She's looking over her shoulder. Her gaze takes in journeys across the Atlantic, beaches in the Caribbean, a boarding school in Yorkshire, departures and arrivals, home- comings, a grandmother buried in Port of Spain, two brothers on the Orinoco, Hindu gods and goddesses, runaways, castaways, slaves, a cartographer who never leaves his room, mothers and sons, fathers and sons, and a goat pulling a bishop on a sledge…
    Alan Payne's poems are rooted in the Caribbean, evoking a sense of separation and loss, and touch on the contradictions and betrayals of colonialism.
    Shortlisted for the 2025 Derek Walcott Prize
