  Two Belfast lads, Mojo and Mickybo, relive the summer of 1970, when they were growing up in the city, playing headers, building huts and re-enacting cowboy movies.
  At first, their friendship is immune to the sectarian violence taking place around them. But nobody is safe from it forever...
  
  Owen McCafferty's play Mojo Mickybo is an unsentimental portrayal of innocence betrayed by communal hatred. It was first performed at Andrews Lane Studio, Dublin, in October 1998.
  The production subsequently toured in Ireland and Scotland in 1998 and 1999.
  A feature film version, Mickybo and Me, was released in 2004, adapted and directed by Terry Loane, with Julie Walters, Ciarán Hinds and Gina McKee in supporting roles.
  The play was revived at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2007, afterwards transferring to the Trafalgar Studios in the West End.
  'Mojo Mickybo marries the polished ferocity of Howie the Rookie with the chirpy candour of Disco Pigs... This play is an energising reminder of the fact that all you need for truly magical theatre is a writer inspired by the thought of the stories that can be made on the stage' - Scotsman
  'A glorious, vivid little play full of verbal swagger... creates vast emotional ripples... small but lethal' - Guardian

  Enjoy this captivating journey into the life and poetry of Robert Frost, as his dear friend and farmhand, Carl Burell, shares stories about Rob with the people of Derry, New Hampshire at the Derry Centennial Celebration of 1927. 
  This fictional reenactment provides an enlightening and entertaining look inside the early years of Robert Frost through the eyes of his childhood friend, farming mentor and hired hand. Carl’s intimate view provides a unique perspective on Frost’s life as a novice farmer among the people of Derry, whom Frost freely appropriated in much of his poetry. As he reflects, Carl muses on his own appearance in some of Frost’s poems, and the manner in which the poet transformed his experiences on a hardscrabble New England farm into revered, monetized literature. Along the way, Carl also reads many of his favorite Frost poems, masterfully capturing the transcendent power of these enduring masterpieces in his native voice. 
  For lovers of poetry, Frost enthusiasts, teachers and students, The Rob I Knew is a unique and absorbing way to explore and appreciate one of our great American poets. 
  Eric Copenhaver, author and performer of this compelling audiobook, is a displaced New Hampshire native and lifelong Frost devotee—who is delighted to be channeling the colorful Carl Burell.

  One long-distance writing affair. 
   
  The passing of the mother together with memories of other losses and absences come together in Lost Bodies, a meditation on the transience of time and love and an invitation to get away—physically or spiritually—from worldly concerns to explore a different history, a different culture, a different light, laced with dreamy scents and the faint calls of fado.

  "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting ..."
  
  Written by Edgar Allan Poe and published in 1845, The Raven is one of the most famous poems in American literature. This gothic narrative poem follows a grieving scholar's descent into madness after a mysterious raven enters his study and answers his tormenting questions with the single, haunting word, "Nevermore".
  Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic known for his dark, atmospheric tales and haunting poetry. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in American literature, Poe helped shape the horror and science-fiction genres and is widely credited with inventing detective fiction in his 1841 short story, Murders in the Rue Morgue. Despite a life marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship, Poe produced a number of enduring classics such as TheRaven, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Fall of the House of Usher, and since his somewhat mysterious death, he and his writings have had a wide-ranging influence in popular culture. In 1946, the Mystery Writers of America established the annual Edgar award, which honour the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction and film
