Sinopsis

'Exclude the impossible and what is left, however improbable, must be the truth.'
Harry Houdini is the greatest illusionist the world has ever known. Arthur Conan Doyle is the creator of literature's most brilliant detective, Sherlock Holmes. 
When their mutual admiration blossoms into a profound friendship, they discover a shared obsession with spiritualism. But while Conan Doyle believes fervently in the psychic world and the promise of reunion with his dead son, Houdini is determined to demonstrate it's a cruel fraud. Which of them will be proved right: the genius writer of fiction or the master magician?
Based on extraordinary historical events, David Haig's play Magic asks what we're prepared to believe, and why. It was first performed at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2026, directed by Lucy Bailey and starring Hadley Fraser as Houdini and Haig himself as Conan Doyle.
Disponible desde: 07/05/2026.

    With a Pen in my Hand is a book of poetry about being at the center of the world and understanding it. Often, we are surrounded by so much that we just rush through everything to get to the next step. We have to understand the world through knowledge, wisdom, and hope. To me, poetry reveals the mystery of the mind. That’s when writing comes into place. With a pen in your hand, you start to say things you didn't even know existed in your mind. Free verse and lyric poetry are the best ways to let go of what the ink is holding. I hope you enjoy these creative and new poems that are included in this book! Xoxo always, Bethany

    "All the world’s a stage"—but are the men and women merely players, or actors in a heavenly drama?  In God on Stage, renowned author and professor Peter Kreeft explores fifteen great dramas, and within them, five great themes: life, death, suffering, religion, and damnation. From classics like Oedipus the King and Hamlet to modern plays like Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons and Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Kreeft draws vivid lessons on the big questions we all ask ourselves.  Like the plays it takes up, God on Stage invites readers to smile and frown, ponder and fall in love, and sit back in awe and wonder—at art, God, and the art of God that is man.

    'You weren't moving. Your hair was soaked. We saw you.'
    Alice and Michael met six years ago. Three years later their daughter Lily was born. Now, in a Yorkshire meadow, just past midnight, they're having an argument. Because Alice is cold, she's tired, and Michael won't stop telling her that she died twelve hours ago.
    A poignant exploration of what it means to say goodbye, Liam Borrett's play This is Living was first performed in a critically acclaimed and award-winning production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014. It had its London premiere at Trafalgar Studios, in 2016.

    This intimate collection of poetry and prose dives deep into the not-so-gentle and unruly art of becoming. It speaks to the thoughts that stir in the stillness of the night, where exhilaration flirts with the agony of despair and where fierceness smoulders in both grace and anger.
    
    Through these lyrical verses, I find myself adrift, seeking solitude, perseverance, heat, and a safe haven—wherever it may be found. Somehow, amidst it all, the chaotic fire of love unfolds in all its tender and raw forms.
    
    I am full of contradictory wounds, scars that ache to heal. But if they don't, maybe it's time to just learn to dance with my demons, once and for all.
    
    Open the pages and get lost in this wondrous journey titled
    
    My Love is Mine.
