Summary

What you have here is a whole bunch of new plays written by the teenaged playwright. Writing for teens can be difficult if you're no longer of a "certain age." And as much as I pride myself into thinking that I am young and hip and cool . . . the fact of the matter is, I'm not sixteen anymore. That's probably a good thing. But to write material for this age group can be challenging. So I went to the source. The plays found here are written by playwrights fourteen to twenty years old. The subject matters are diverse, the voices are distinct, and the eclectic genres will provide considerable challenges for young actors.
Available since: 03/30/2007.

    - Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot prize
    - A Poetry Society Recommendation
    - A Guardian Poetry Book of the Year
    - One of The Telegraph's Best Poetry Books of 2019A knife is pulled. An Uber driver is racially abused on the day of the Brexit referendum. A father bathes his son in ice water. A schoolboy drives a drawing pin into a map of the world. The threat of violence is never far away in Anthony Anaxagorou's breakthrough collection After the Formalities. Technically achieved, emotionally transformative and razor-sharp, these are poems that confront and contradict; poems in which the scholarly synthesises with the streetwise, and global histories are told through the lens of one family.
    Anaxagorou 'speaks against the darkness', tracking the male body under pressure from political and historical forces, and celebrates the precarious joy of parenthood. The title poem is a meditation on racism and race science that draws on the poet's Cypriot heritage and is as uncomfortable as it is virtuosic. Elsewhere, in a sequence of prose poems that shimmer with lyric grace, he writes, 'I'm your father & the only person keeping you alive.'

    William Collins Books and Decca Records are proud to present ARGO Classics, a historic catalogue of classic prose and verse read by some of the world’s most renowned voices. Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly remastered stories are now available to download for the first time. 
    ‘He eats nothing but doves, love, and that breeds hot blood, and hot blood beget hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love.’ 
    Shakespeare’s epic tale of war, love and loss 
    Trojan prince Troilus falls in love with Cressida, as war rages around them. After vowing to be faithful, Cressida is traded to the Greek camp, where she then agrees to see another man. Troilus witnesses Cressida's unfaithfulness and vows to put more effort into the war. The play ends after further deaths on both sides, and with no resolution in sight. 
    All of the Shakespeare plays within the ARGO Classics catalogue are performed by the Marlowe Dramatic Society and Professional Players. The Marlowe was founded in 1907 with a mission to focus on effective delivery of verse, respect the integrity of texts, and rescue neglected plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries and the less performed plays of Shakespeare himself. The Marlowe has performed annually at Cambridge Arts Theatre since its opening in 1936 and continues to produce some of the finest actors of their generations. 
    Thurston Dart, Professor of Music at London University and a Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge, directed the music for this production. 
    The full cast includes:John Sheppard; Gary Watson; Anthony White; Julian Pettifer; John Barton; David Gibson; Clive Swift; Donald Beves; John Wilders; Noel Annan; James Taylor‑Whitehead; Tony Church; George Rylands; John Barton; John Arnott; David Buck; Peter Woodthorpe; Anthony Jacobs; Wendy Gifford; Christine Baker; Dorothy Mulcahy; Irene Worth. 
    This top performing piece of European theatre, brought to life by the best in the field, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes. The intricate dance of love, betrayal, and war in Troilus and Cressida remains as poignant today as it was in Shakespeare's time. 
    For fans of Richard Parsons (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide), and Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy).

    The Poetry of Stephen Vincent Benét

    Benét was born on 22nd July in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. His father was a serving Army colonel and his first decade dictated that family life and education was centered at the base his father was serving from.  
     
    From ten it became a little more stable when he was dispatched for a traumatic year to the Hitchcock Military Academy in San Rafael, California before graduating from the Summerville Academy in Augusta, Georgia and thence to Yale University, at age 17, where he quickly established himself in its deep literary traditions.  He edited as well as contributed a selection of light verse to the campus humor magazine, The Yale Record, and gave freely and generously of his time thereafter to keep Yale producing new literary talents.  
     
    Prodigiously his first book was published at 17 and for he obtained his M.A. in English when he submitted a poetry volume as his thesis. 
     
    Whilst travelling in France, in the early 20s, he met and quickly married a fellow writer and poet, Rosemary Carr.  She would also collaborate with him on several works.  In Paris he wrote the book-length narrative poem of the American Civil War ‘John Brown's Body’, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. 
     
    Benét was immensely gifted. A mere glance at his literary CV dazzles with literary gems.  Some of his poems seem to foretell both the rise of machines and of Fascism.  He won the O’Henry Award on three occasions, for his short stories as well as an incredible four Pulitzers; two for poetry and two for short stories.  Add in his several novels, speech-writing, radio scripts and various other pursuits and you have some measure of the man.  
     
    In 1930, Benét was hit with debilitating attacks of arthritis of the spine which made the rest of his life one of much pain and discomfort. 
     
    Stephen Vincent Benét died in his wife’s arms on 13th March 1943 of a heart attack in New York City. He was 44.  
     
    He was awarded a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for Western Star, an ambitious and projected five, six or nine book narrative poem (there are various accounts of its projected length) on the settling of the United States, for which he only finished the first book.
