  'Every one of us will be here for a different particular reason. I am here because I am passionate about history.'
  It is 2019, the Year of Return, marking four hundred years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in America. We are at a slave castle in Ghana. Samuel is our tour guide. It's his job to give tourists a really, really authentic experience of the castle's dark history, and to do it all with a smile. Thank you, Samuel!
  The tourists are Samuel's guests, and they're on a journey of self-discovery. But they're here, standing on soil, blood and bones, asking for a selfie. They want to buy trinkets from the gift shop. Samuel would never want to hurt the tourists. And they would never want to hurt him.
  Rhianna Ilube's Samuel Takes a Break… in Male Dungeon No. 5 After a Long but Generally Successful Day of Tours is a genre-blending play about colonialism, identity and the attempt to preserve the past. It was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting and the Verity Bargate Award, and was a finalist for the 2024 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It premiered at The Yard Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike.

  Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in.  
   
  In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside. 
   
  Author Bio: 
  Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
   
  Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
   
  The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.

  "The Divine Comedy" is an epic poem by Dante Alighieri, written in the early 14th century. Composed of three parts—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—the poem is an allegorical account of the soul's journey towards God. Dante begins in the dark forest of human sin and error, travels up the mountain of Purgatory where souls are cleansed, and finally arrives in the heavenly spheres of Paradise. Along the way, he encounters various historical and mythological figures, each suffering or rewarded according to God's justice. The work delves into themes of divine justice, eternal damnation, and divine grace, offering a vivid tableau of medieval Christian belief and doctrine.

  'One day this will work. One day we will gift two honest, decent, trusting volunteers a baby. I know this more than anything else in the world. I know it in my soul. We will do that.'
  In 1978, three pioneering doctors changed the world of fertility as we know it. Supported by an army of immensely brave women from all over the UK, Patrick Steptoe, Robert Edwards and Jean Purdy achieved the impossible: they created human life in vitro.
  Faced with fierce criticism and hostility, and hounded by the media for 'playing God', trials had to be kept largely under wraps. But the trio's determination to give hope to the thousands of families struggling to conceive eventually led to the first 'test-tube baby' and the creation of IVF, a procedure which has since supported the birth of over twelve million babies worldwide.
  Gareth Farr's play A Child of Science is a fictionalised account of this true story of ambition and courage, based on extensive research and interviews with embryologists and fertility doctors, as well as those affected by and enabled by IVF. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2024, directed by Matthew Dunster.
