Beschreibung

The apprenticeships are only meant to last a year - there were never any guarantees beyond that. For Ava, Liv, Mason and Trent, they're just trying to get through the day. They don't know why there's an endless stream of strangers passing through, but no-one ever tells them anything. In a couple of months they'll be kicked out anyway, and God knows what happens after that. Who's looking out for them?
Scissors is a play about family, heritage and legacy, and is part of Chris Bush's trilogy of plays about a Sheffield manufacturing family, Rock / Paper / Scissors. The three plays were first performed simultaneously with the same cast moving between three theatres in Sheffield – the Crucible, the Lyceum and the Studio – as part of Sheffield Theatres' fiftieth birthday celebrations in 2022.
Verfügbar seit: 07.07.2022.

    The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
    Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
    Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
    as well as debuting some brand-new work.

    Playwright Maurice is on the very verge of having success and notoriety upon the opening of his new play. In fact, he's so elated at his future prospects that he's decided to propose to his mistress, Jeanne  once the evening is over. However, he comes into contact with a femme fatale named Henriette, who so beguiles him with danger and mystery that he doesn't attend his own show and instead spends the entire night with her, forgetting all about his mistress and child. Word spreads throughout France the following morning, and the public utterly shames the impromptu couple for spending the night together, causing the theater to pull Maurice's play, Jeanne to leave Maurice, and Henriette to scheme upon the molding of this now contemptible beast for her own means.... 
     Come see the consequences of actions and the impact of societal expectations in this strange yet unwavering comedy known as "Crime and Crime."

    The Trial of Dr Crippen: A Mr Punch True Crime Drama. 
     
    “…the chilling sentence of Dr Crippen will raise the hairs on the back of your neck” Amazon.com   
    “Mr Punch is going from strength to strength, continuing their good run of classy audio”  Talking Business 
     
    Step back in time to Edwardian London and take a seat in the infamous Courtroom No.1 at the Old Bailey and meet Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen, the mild-mannered physician accused of committing one of the most infamous murders in English history, that he had murdered his wife and gruesomely dismembered her body and buried her remains in the cellar of their home in Hilldrop Crescent, London. 
     
    But that's just the beginning of this astounding story!  
     
    Drawing exclusively from the original trial transcripts, eyewitness accounts and contemporary reports, we join the jury, as they delve into the twisted love affair between Crippen and his lover, Ethel Le Neve, who together attempted a daring escape to Canada, with Ethel disguised as Crippen's own son. And prepare for the dramatic courtroom showdown, where Dr Crippen's unexpected plea of 'Not Guilty!' turns a seemingly straightforward case into a tale of passion and despair, where murder, disguise, and his desperate escape blur the lines between reality and fiction. 
     
    Starring ANDREW SACHS as Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen with Norman Bird, John Baddeley, Robin Welch, Geoffrey Whitehead, Teresa Gallagher, Howard Ward, Robin Welch, Andrew Wincott and full supporting cast. 
     
    Also available as part of the Great British Trials Box Set, a fascinating eight-hour collection of true crime dramas, featuring the trials of Ruth Ellis, Dr Crippen, Timothy Evans & John Reginald Halliday Christie.

    This book is all about the poems I have written on the things surrounding me when I'm lonely vs. being around many people. The book will have poems in a sequence to compare having nothing vs having everything. If you are open to new ideas and revelations, this book is specifically for you. Do not let your personal beliefs affect the book's purpose. Just enjoy and be prepared for a rollercoaster of different quality poems. 
    In a world increasingly cluttered with noise and haste, "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" emerges as a beacon of clarity and insight, delving into the profound realms of words, the beauty of life, and the essence of patience with purpose. This audiobook, narrated with a compelling voice that weaves through the intricacies of human experiences and philosophical musings, invites listeners on a journey that challenges perceptions, enlightens minds, and soothes souls. The narrative begins by exploring the power of words—seemingly simple symbols that can uplift or destroy, enlighten or obscure. 
    "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" eloquently argues that words are not mere communication vehicles, but potent tools that shape our realities, beliefs, and identities. Through captivating stories and thoughtful analyses, the audiobook reveals how the words we choose to use and the narratives we tell ourselves and others construct the edifice of our lives. It emphasizes the responsibility that comes with this power and the transformative potential of mindful communication. 
    As the journey progresses, the audiobook blossoms into celebrating life's beauty. It paints vivid landscapes of the human condition, exploring the depths of sorrow the peaks of joy, and everything in between. 
    "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" does not shy away from the complexities and contradictions inherent in living, but instead embraces them as sources of strength and wisdom.
