Beschreibung

Rainbow Gold; Poems Old and New Selected for Boys and Girls is an exquisite anthology that traverses the rich and varied landscape of English poetry, offering a curated collection that spans different centuries and styles. This collection brings together the whimsy of Romanticism, the explorative nature of Gothic themes, and the timeless elegance of Elizabethan verse. With selections engaging to younger readers, it fosters a love for the poetic form through a vibrant tapestry of moods and motifs. Noteworthy compositions offer insights into universal themes such as nature, love, and the human experience, making it an invaluable resource for introducing young readers to the power of verse. The anthology boasts contributions from some of the most influential poets in the English language, including the haunting lyres of Edgar Allan Poe and the introspective musings of William Wordsworth. Each poet within this collection mirrors the social and literary movements of their time, from the stylized dramas of William Shakespeare to the Romantic fervor of Percy Bysshe Shelley. This fusion of poetic giants creates a diverse conversation about the human condition, illustrating how poetry serves as both a reflection and a catalyst of change throughout history. Rainbow Gold provides a remarkable opportunity to explore a vast array of poetic voices in a single volume. Each poem, selected to ignite the imaginations of young readers, serves as a gateway to understanding the beauty and complexity of language. Whether for educational use or personal exploration, this collection invokes a dialogue between the ages, making it an essential addition to any literary collection aimed at nurturing the love of poetry across generations.

    Annabel Lee is the last complete poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Like many of Poe's poems, it explores the theme of the death of a beautiful woman. 
    The narrator, who fell in love with Annabel Lee when they were young, has a love for her so strong that even angels are jealous. He retains his love for her even after her death. 
    There has been debate over who - if anyone - was the inspiration for Annabel Lee. Though many women have been suggested, Poe's wife Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe is one of the more credible candidates.

    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.

    A group of teenagers, their lives shaped by billions of seemingly random events going back to before they were born, come together onstage to share stories about their past, their present, and what might lie ahead.
    When This Is Over is a uniquely personal, theatrical celebration of hope, possibility and imagination. It's about how we can work with chaos, and embrace our collective imagination as we prepare for a deeply uncertain future – together.
    Originally conceived by Company Three – and developed alongside more than fifty other youth theatres across the UK – When This Is Over is a play designed to be created and performed by teenage casts, drawing directly on their own life experiences and the stories they want to tell. As with Company Three's widely performed youth-theatre play Brainstorm, the script is a blueprint for an amazing theatrical adventure.
    This published edition contains a series of exercises and activities for schools, youth-theatre groups and community companies to create and perform their own unique productions, and also features the complete script of Company Three's version, which was performed at The Yard, London, in 2022.
    When This Is Over was named Community Project of the Year at The Stage Awards, and Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards.
