There are moments in life when one finds oneself unexpectedly surrounded. Young Bingo would describe it as fate. Others might use stronger language. In Clustering Round Young Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse gathers the usual elements of civilized disaster: romantic enthusiasm, social overreaction, and the looming shadow of Aunt Dahlia's magazine enterprise. Bingo, whose emotional decisions tend to arrive faster than his reasoning, becomes the centre of an intricate social arrangement involving a highly questionable article and a domestic crisis that even the finest French chef cannot resolve. What emerges is a finely balanced mechanism: affection expressed as confusion, and dignity maintained only through collective effort and selective amnesia. Elegant, chaotic, and impeccably pointless in the most entertaining way.Zum Buch

A haunting confession unfolds in solitude. From her deathbed, Mathilda tells the story she has carried in silence—one marked by love, loss, and a devastating truth that reshaped her life forever. Orphaned young and raised in emotional distance, she is reunited with her father only to face a revelation so profound it fractures their bond and drives him toward irreversible despair. In the aftermath, Mathilda retreats into isolation, burdened by grief and guilt, seeking meaning in a world that feels irreparably altered. Her only connection comes through Woodville, a compassionate poet whose presence offers brief solace but cannot reach the depths of her inner turmoil. Written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley during a period of personal tragedy, Mathilda is an intimate Gothic novella that examines the psychological weight of forbidden emotion, the fragility of human connection, and the quiet unraveling of a soul in retreat from the world. Narrated with emotional clarity by Liz Leafloor, this production brings Shelley's deeply personal and rarely discussed work to life with sensitivity and restraint.Zum Buch
