Sinopsis

'Shall we have a real conversation? I am ready to stop pretending if you are.'
Peace didn't know what she needed when her father died. Then she found Bolu, her halfbrother from Nigeria, whom she didn't know existed. Filled with grief and a thousand questions, Peace ignores her mother's concerns, and invites Bolu to England. His arrival feels like something clicking into place.
But questions about this stranger's intentions and his mysterious past hang heavy in the air. Desperate to keep her fractured family – and herself – together, Peace must face the fact that the answers she desperately seeks might just lead to everything falling apart.
Faith Omole's play My Father's Fable is a gripping story of grief, belonging, and a family on the edge. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Rebekah Murrell.

And I'd lose my like funsense and stuff... But, I don't know if it's just my class in particular but we really haven't matured at all... I don't want to be the serious adult and have serious children and have serious future in a serious house and serious everything.'

    Meticulously documented and researched, based on facts LEGACY OF TERROR – AUSCHWITZ SEX SLAVE tells the story of 33-year-old beauty Eliza who goes from con artist on the French Riviera to soul-searching survivor in the bowels of the Nazi-created hell on earth, Auschwitz. This is a saga never before told in literature or feature films. 
    Eliza’s Auschwitz journal becomes a must read for a German woman – Anna, who’s on a mission for her son Wolfgang shortly after 1967’s 6-Day War in Israel. Anna hopes to clear him of accusations of being a war criminal while performing his duty as an SS officer during WWII. 
    Containing elements of a thriller, a petrifying war saga and an unconventional romance, this heart-searing novel evolves into a tapestry of brokenheartedness, self-reproach, and perhaps resilience and stalwart acceptance. What must these women do to keep their humanity intact? Its intended audience is any historical fiction lover who wishes to delve deep into the psyches of those who are able to survive this unimaginable hell at all costs.

    ‘I used to want a black enamel farmhouse sink. Now, I just want shelter.’
      
       
    From acclaimed playwright Karen Hines come two darkly comic meditations on security, safety, and shelter.
      
       
    Crawlspace is a comic, Kafkaesque monologue about the darker side of home ownership that moves past ‘cautionary’ as it snakes through the brutal battleground of Toronto real estate, decorative twig orbs, and the state of the human soul.
      
       
    All the Little Animals I Have Eaten explores questions surrounding existence, death, and salvation through the perspectives of one sleep-deprived young woman, the ghosts of brilliant authors, some well-heeled professionals, meth-curious lambs, a puppet in a beatnik onesie, tiny vertebrates, glowing arthropods, and other unexpected voices.
      
       
    Praise for the Videofag production of Crawlspace:
      
       
    ‘Karen Hines’s macabre monologue about a real-estate nightmare – and a dead animal stuck in a crawlspace – was all the more terrifying for being true. This was Hines at her most horrifyingly hilarious.’
      
       
    – Globe and Mail
      
       
    ‘Hines’s clever script, alternately savagely funny and disturbing, is full of facts the author keeps amending, underlining the bait-and-switch nature of the real estate swindle.’
      
       
    – NOW magazine
      
       
    ‘The kind of story you want to talk about as soon as you get home. Horrifying and enlightening.’
