Sinossi

'Beauty, to us physicists, means something we've never seen before.'
An existential PhD student hunting dark matter collides with:

- A disillusioned illusionist
- A teenage medium with a secret
- A murdered mathematician
- A trailblazing astronomer 
Together, they shed new light on the greatest unsolved mystery of the universe. 
Witty, ingenious and daringly theatrical, Emma Howlett's Aether explores physics, faith and magic in a play that tracks humanity's insatiable fascination with the unknown.
Aether was first performed at Summerhall during the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It received widespread critical acclaim and was named Best Theatre Show of the Fringe by the Telegraph. It transferred to Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in 2026.

    "Grimm Tales Made Gay" by Guy Wetmore Carryl is a collection of humorous adaptations of classic Grimm fairy tales, written in the early 20th century. This book showcases Carryl's playful reinterpretation of well-known stories, employing a lighthearted and satirical tone. The author crafts verses that provide a modern twist to tales like "Cinderella," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "Rumpelstiltskin," making it an engaging read for those who appreciate clever and whimsical poetry. Within this collection, each tale is told through witty rhymes and acute observations, exploring themes of virtue, folly, and the quirks of human nature. Carryl's narratives often include humorous morals that satirize the original stories and the human condition. For instance, in a retelling of "Cinderella," the character outshines her vain sisters, only to end up marrying a prince for her beauty rather than her intelligence. Each tale is a stand-alone poem, revealing absurdities and truths about the original characters while inviting readers to reflect on the timeless nature of their messages through a lens of comedy and satire.

    'Nothing is any longer one thing.'
    From a teenage encounter with Elizabeth I, through infatuations, voyages and even a change of gender, Orlando lives out five centuries of life and love before they finally find the courage to truly be themselves.
    Neil Bartlett's sparkling adaptation of Virginia Woolf's famous fantasy finds powerful contemporary relevance in her vision of equal rights to love for bodies of every kind – and brings it to life on the stage with a kaleidoscope of theatrical styles, overseen by the haunting figure of Woolf herself.
    It premiered at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in November 2022, in a production directed by Michael Grandage and starring Emma Corrin in the title role. Written for a diverse ensemble of nine or more actors, this adaptation will appeal to any theatre or company looking to entertain their audiences with a bold new take on this iconic tale of love and transformation.

    This book will be different, but unique. 
    For my poetry is real and somewhat sheik. 
    They’re all short stories about my past. 
    Family, loved ones, and dreams that couldn’t last. 
      
    Freedom of speech {so called} I am blunt. 
    I can write about anything and everything I want. 
    Fighting for life, children, and my rights has been a hassle. 
    Throughout my life it’s been a long battle. 
      
    Reading these poems are pieces of me. 
    Funny, sad, about love, and eternity. 
    Opening to others is new for me as well. 
    Hopefully, guide, or give you relief, time will tell. 
      
    Thank you to those who gave me the chance. 
    Thanks to my Family and Kids for the influence. 
    Thanks to my Husband for dealing with my crap. 
    Thanks to God for getting me out of those traps.
