  “Be seen, not heard,” is what her Mother said. However, for this poet, her Mother’s words fell on deaf ears. K.L. Loveley is a woman unleashed and her words will be heard. 
   Love, romance, pleasure, desire, loss, betrayal, anger, and pain. K.L. Loveley explores her changing and sometimes camouflaged emotions within her debut poetry collection. 
  “Go places, seek pleasure, wine, dine, and dance. Defer gratification for a fine romance. Blend into the crowd, not noticed, not seen. Camouflage complete; a chameleon’s dream.”

  Women in Love - And Other...

  Screenplays and scripts from the playwright of The Normal Heart. “A valuable showcase of an important writer’s early career.”—The Bay Area Reporter   Larry Kramer has been described by Susan Sontag as “one of America’s most valuable troublemakers.” As Frank Rich writes in his Foreword to this collection of writings for the screen and stage, “his plays are almost journalistic in their observation of the fine-grained documentary details of life . . . that may well prove timeless.” The title work, the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Women in Love, is a movie “as sensuous as anything you’ve probably ever seen on film” (The New York Times). The screenplay is accompanied by Kramer’s reflections on the history of the production, sure to be of interest to any student of film. This volume also includes several early plays, Sissies’ Scrapbook, A Minor Dark Age, and the political farce Just Say No, illuminating the development of one of our most important literary figures. “Since his screenplay for Women in Love, Kramer has been a prophet of psychic health and catastrophe among us.” (from The American Academy of Arts and Letters citation).    Women in Love   “A visual stunner and very likely the most sensual film ever made.”—New York Daily News   “Throughout Larry Kramer’s literate scenario, the Lawrentian themes blaze and gutter. The sooty mind-crushing coal mines that Lawrence knew like the back of his hand are re-created in all their malignance. The annealing quality of sex is exhibited in the most erotic—and tasteful—lust scenes anywhere in contemporary film.”—Time

  Ex-lovers argue about when they were happiest, police officers rewrite history, and Rasputin dances like no one's watching. Oh, and also the Queen is there.
  We're going to feed the present to the past. It's a kind of ritual. A kind of sacrifice. Memory always is.
  Everything Not Saved by Carys D. Coburn with MALAPROP Theatre was first staged at the 2017 Dublin Fringe Festival, where it won the Georganne Aldrich Heller Award for a standout Irish artist or company that demonstrates innovation and connects with audiences. It was subsequently staged at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
  'Malaprop Theatre play mind tricks on us… Everything Not Saved interrogates ideas about faking history, questioning absolute certainty and curating cultural memory… the company's deeply layered meta-theatricality dances a step ahead of the audience, teasing and probing' - Guardian
