Sinopse

'She scrubs desperately. Fervently. Furiously. The filth is in the walls and she can feel it in her bones and under her skin.'
As the stench in their building intensifies and infestations spread, a group of lonely tenants starts to ask questions.
The housing association will barely lift a finger and pest control 'don't deal with maggots', so the neighbours are left to grapple with their suspicions and fears alone – blurring the boundaries of their usually private lives in the process.
Farah Najib's play Maggots explores loneliness, systemic failure and what it means to build community. It was first performed in this version at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Jess Barton and produced by Jessie Anand Productions.

    Notes from a Stressed-out Teen

    How does one navigate life? This is a question asked by most teenagers on the planet, as they step on the edge of being an adult. This is a question I've asked myself for the longest time, as I traversed breakups and fought exams, questioned the very existence of my meaning, which I then expressed in these poems and extracts from my diary.
    
    The pages inside this book are windows into my soul. Little cries for help from the past couple of years. The paper these poems were written on listened to me when no one else was there.
    
    And now, I hope the words on the paper speak to people, help them realise they're not alone, promote them to seek help and possibly inspire them to live more.
    
    These poems are not just poems. They're words from my soul.

    'I'm awake. I'm alive. Everything's real and I love you.'
    Lin, an astronaut, speeds towards a distant planet. He's on a pioneering solo mission to create a new home for humankind.
    His only human contact is an exchange of voice messages with his lover, Silas, back on Earth. But thanks to the laws of relativity, Silas is ageing so much faster than Lin. Days for the astronaut will be decades for the lover left behind.
    As disaster befalls the spacecraft and planet Earth falls apart, Silas and Lin's love is tested to the limit.
    Timothy X Atack's DELAY is a love story. A suspenseful, heartwrenching yet hopeful queer sci-fi stage play about saying what you mean and saying goodbye. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2025.

    A lyrical wilderness of power, wealth, leisure and desire, the poems of Country Club freewheel across state lines with panache and flagrant feeling. In this bold debut from Andy McGuire, all passions – even unpleasant ones – stare down the barrel of a world in which freedom is the fifty-first state, and love is the eleventh province.
      
       
    The manatee wades out of the water and roars at the sightseersThat one of them owes him a drink.From the beach below the boardwalk, cock-a-doodle-do!What about a Christmas bowlcut over by the mangrove manatees!Because in Florida there are FloridiansAnd they are born Floridians at large.Every motionCan’t stop its own ocean.The oceans' motions make mistakes.Some of the dying are unspeakableIn their thinness, poorly disguised meat mannequins.The mosquitoes are so bigThey bleed you like a pig.Being eaten alive is an acquired taste.
