Sinopse

'A nation that devours another will one day devour itself.'
Set when the Great Devouring comes home, England & Son is a kaleidoscopic odyssey, where disaster capitalism, empire, Thatcherite politics, stolen youth and stolen wealth merge into the tale of a working-class boy who just wants his dad to smile at him.
With some deep, dark laughs – and some deep, dark love – England & Son is a one-man play by Ed Edwards, first performed by the celebrated political comedian Mark Thomas.
It was first produced by HOME Manchester and Tin Cat Entertainment, and premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Cressida Brown, where it won a Fringe First Award. It went on to win the New Writing Award at the OffFest Theatre Festival Awards in 2024.
This edition also features an illuminating essay by the author, 'Writing the End of Empire'.
Disponível desde: 10/08/2023.

    Hamlet is commonly regarded as one of the greatest plays ever written. Drawing on Danish chronicles and the Elizabethan vogue for revenge tragedy, Shakespeare created a play that is at once a philosophic treatise, a family drama, and a supernatural thriller. In the wake of his father's death, Prince Hamlet finds that his Uncle Claudius has swiftly taken the throne and married his mother, Queen Gertrude. The ghost of the dead king then appears and charges Claudius with 'murder most foul.' Hamlet is called to revenge his father's death: but will he be able to act before it is too late?

    We need lights in our lives to continue living and have a good time. Lights can be in the form of contentment, which can be derived from a real love or a happy life. Searching for Lights is a book of poems and short stories that will take you on a journey of discovering different kinds of love: soothing love, secret love, unspoken love, and real love. In this book, you are going to see how life is rich in both happiness and sadness, regrets and hopes. There you could be lost and struggle for love which can take you on ups and downs, humps and turbulences. Somehow fantasy is not discounted in this book. Two short stories will drag you into a world of thrills and excitement. Nevertheless, this book carries lots of meaningful, moving sentences that can be used as quotes and deep posts. And not to mention the meaningful drawings that accompanied each poem in order to deepen the meaning and clarify the message of the poem. Dear reader, you may find your story or a situation that has happened to you previously in this book –  this life is a set of experiences that we have lived, even if the details differ. I hope you enjoy your journey 'Searching for Lights'.
