Sinopsis

"The Other Vaccine" is a captivating Colombian drama in three acts, masterfully penned by Diego Hidalgo-Oñate, adapting the essence of Juan Camilo Betancur's novel "La mujer Agapanto". Set amidst the backdrop of the Colombian armed conflict, this narrative unveils the enduring presence of goodness and beauty amidst a seemingly unyielding atmosphere of violence.

The play introduces us to a rich array of characters, each bearing their own struggles and aspirations. At its core is The Gardener, a gentle soul who cultivates both the earth's produce and the poetry within his heart. His best friend, Mario, adds a layer of lightheartedness to the narrative, a sharp contrast to the looming shadows of conflict and fear.

Central to the tale is Agapanthus, the enigmatic woman who bewitches The Gardener's heart. Her mysterious aura and connection to the agapanthus flower, symbolizing hope and resilience, infuse the play with a sense of wonder and enchantment. Their burgeoning connection unfolds against the backdrop of danger and uncertainty brought forth by the guerrillas, epitomized by the menacing Guerrilla Fighter.

As the drama unfolds, we witness the intertwining of love, loss, and perseverance. The delicate growth of a budding romance between The Gardener and Agapanthus is set against the harsh realities of their conflict-ridden world. The destruction and heartache they endure serve to illuminate the beauty of human resilience and the profound impact of love in the face of adversity.

The play reaches its pinnacle in a moment of both revelation and tragedy, echoing the enduring power of love and the poignant beauty of life's impermanence. The profound and resonant words of Teófilo Méndez capture the bittersweet essence of the human experience, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts of the audience.

"The Other Vaccine" stands as a poignant testament to the enduring human spirit, the fragility of love, and the transformative power of hope amidst the darkness of conflict. Through poetic dialogues and compelling characters, it brings forth a timeless tale that echoes beyond the stage, leaving a lasting impact on its audience.

    'Something is shifting between you – again.
    Something terrifying
    and comforting.'
    Dre and Des. Young. Gifted. Black. He stayed. She left.

With the clock counting down until Des has to leave again, memories of their past collide with their present and they're forced to question if destiny has brought them back together for a reason.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore the poets and poetry of that short poetry movement; The Georgians.  In a handful of years, they forged their careers and expressed themselves in ways that illuminate and discover both themselves and the world around them.

    Lewis Sinclaire’s earliest memory is that wherein his mother kisses him on the forehead and wishes him a happy birthday on the very day that she abandoned him. He never saw her again, but the memory is a happy one, nonetheless. But is a memory a true facsimile of what actually happened? 
    During the lockdown of Spring 2020, Lewis, a restauranteur by trade, is forced to isolate with his dying father in the family home that he has despised all of his life. He is determined to use the time wisely, and over a game of chess and fuelled by a strong Irish Whiskey, he discovers that a memory is not the truth. He discovers precisely what went on between his mother and his father at the family villa in Le Marche, Italy, in nineteen-eighty-four, and why his mother had to abandon him. Then, at his father’s ‘lockdown’ funeral, a stranger appears, who changes his mind completely…..
