  'You're a wonder. You're a window into a wide world.'
  Scotland, 1504, seen fresh through the eyes of new arrivals Ellen and Anne, two Moorish women who were expected to take their place at a royal court… but not this one.
  Both women now have to fight to find and keep a place in the dazzling, dangerous world of the Scottish court of James IV. It's a world where war is never far away, words of love and promises of peace are not what they seem, and where poets might turn out to be more dangerous than any assassin.
  Rona Munro continues her journey through an uncharted period of Scottish history with James IV: Queen of the Fight, which was first presented in 2022 by Raw Material and Capital Theatres in association with National Theatre of Scotland, and directed by Laurie Sansom.
  It follows the spectacular success of Munro's plays about James I, II and III, which were first performed by National Theatre of Scotland, transferred to the National Theatre, London, and were named Best New Play at the Evening Standard Awards.

  What if your deepest longing belonged to someone who lived before you? 
  Spanning continents and generations, Love is the Bridge is an epic tale of three love stories—one of forbidden desire, one of sacred surrender, and one of a soul divided across time. 
  From New York’s boardrooms to Rumi’s Konya, from a Berlin haunted by memory to the vanished gardens of Shiraz and Kabul, Arian Nazrani’s journey begins as a search for truth. At the helm of a crumbling tech company, he finds himself unraveling—caught between the demands of a fading world and the stirrings of a deeper call. 
  When he uncovers his uncle Masud’s lost diary—a poetic chronicle of heartbreak and mystical awakening—Arian is drawn into a world where time dissolves, and love transcends lifetimes. 
  In the whirl of sacred rhythm, past and present collapse—and Arian glimpses a love that once lived through Masud, and now lives again through him. 
  This is a story of longing. 
  Of exile and return. 
  Of love that survives death and distance. 
  Because time is an illusion. 
  And love is the bridge.

  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover.
  When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles...
  Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity that hit comedy team Peepolykus is known for, and offering abundant opportunities for riotous comedy and slapstick, The Hound of the Baskervilles will suit any theatre company looking to dust off their deerstalkers for a sublimely funny adaptation of a classic tale.
  It was adapted by Olivier Award nominees Steven Canny and John Nicholson, and first performed by Peepolykus at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, in 2007, before transferring to the West End. It has since become a firm favourite with theatre companies – both professional and amateur – around the world.
  This revised, definitive version of the play was first seen in a revival at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, in 2024, directed by John Nicholson.

  The Language of the Birds - Poems

  Amy Nemecek

  According to legend, the language of the birds was a mystical language God used to talk with Adam and Eve when he walked with them in the garden of Eden. Amy Nemecek listens for this divine dialect as she communes with God on her walks along country roads and creek banks, through forests and hayfields. She observes the world around her with expectation, knowing that God still speaks to us as he is at work making all things new. If we have ears to hear, we can catch snippets of his grace in the watercolor silhouette of a bird, the thrum of a tractor engine, the tang of a grapefruit, the curvature of an ampersand. Amy doesn' t want to miss any of it, so she remains attentive to the smooth grit of beach sand, the tendrils of a nebula, and the steady gaze of a fossil. She delights in the details, and you will too.
  
  
  In this collection of lyric and narrative poems, you are invited to walk with her as she reflects on larger themes of beauty, loss, motherhood, family, and vocation. She contemplates the sacredness of ordinary moments that we usually don' t recognize except in hindsight. Twining through every line is an aching hopefulness that ties together her love of words, her devotion to scripture, and her deep gratitude for each of life' s joys and griefs.
  
  
  " Rub dust on your palms, pluck the ripened sunshine, and taste this poetic grace." — Dwight Baker, president and CEO of Baker Publishing Group
