Summary

A deeply provocative thriller set in a blighted landscape where nature is fiercely taking its course, Deluge is a gripping drama from the Papatango Prize-winning author of Coolatully.
Winner of the 2014 Eamon Keane Full-Length Play Award
There's something uncanny going on at Joe and Kitty's farm. Precious feed is mysteriously disappearing from the hay shed and prized livestock is being slaughtered at night whilst sinister shadows lurk in the darkness.
With fodder running out and no money left, Joe and Kitty, like their desperate neighbours, will stop at nothing to protect themselves and their cherished land. But at what cost?
Fiona Doyle's Deluge premiered at Hampstead Downstairs, London, in April 2015.

    Christina was born in London in 1830 one of four children who were all to become artists and writers.  Educated at home, her life was filled with the Italian influences of her Father and the wide ranging interests of her mother.  She began to write at age 12 as her Fathers health broke and the family’s descended to near poverty.  She first published aged 18 and over the following decade her writing was to flourish and in 1860 her most famous work Goblin Market was released and her reputation was set.  A sufferer from Graves disease from the 1870’s she also developed breast cancer which subsequently recurred and was to cause her death in 1894.  She is buried in Highgate Cemetery.Our poems are; Christina Georgina Rossetti - An Introduction, A Birthday, A Pause Of Thought, A Study, A Soul, Sonnets Are Full Of Love,  Dreamland; Echo, By The Sea, Ferry Me Across The Water, Frog & Toad, If A Mouse Could Fly, The City Mouse And The Country Mouse, Lambs At Play,  A Spring Carol, In The Willow Shade,  Summer,  Summer Is Ended, If All Were Rain And Never Sun, An October Garden, Christmas Eve, Good Friday, A Years Windfalls, How Many Seconds In A Minute, Who Has Seen The World, Wife To Husband, Bitter For Sweet, If Stars Dropped Out Of Heaven, An Emerald Is As Green As Grass, Is The Moon Tired, Goblin Market, In The Bleak Midwinter, Winter - My Secret, January Cold Desolate, After This The Judgement, After Death, Sappho, Goodbye In Fear Goodbye In Sorrow,  Dead Before Death, Life And Death, Remember & Requiem.

    The Vernal Equinox signals the time when the winter’s cold mantle begins to succumb to the warming influences of the oncoming spring. Fay Inchfawn (nee Elizabeth Rebecca Ward) took the springtime of 1920 as her inspiration for the bright promise of beauty and new life described in Early Spring. LibriVox volunteers bring you eight different readings of this magical work to celebrate the Vernal Equinox. This was the weekly poetry project for the week of March 19, 2006.(Summary by Chip)

    "Where does all the grief go when it's not tugging at your wrist?" Enyegue's debut collection is an ode to girlhood, to Blackness, to generational trauma, sexual assault, and mental health.This collection does not aim to heal anyone who reads it, but instead help them confront their own healing. Rather than sugar-coated bullets that enter you lightly, these poems are designed to hurt. They are for the girls with difficult names, the boys with softness at their core, and the people with neither. They are meant for the people who are Black, and the people who are not—because we are all tethered together by the heaviness of the human experience.

    The present day. A residential street in South East London. The house where reclusive siblings Peppy and Daniel were born is now stuffed full of everything they have ever owned. This hoard, their eccentric appearance and rampant garden hedge, set them conspicuously apart from others on their road.
When young Ben visits from next door he is simply looking for friendship; but what happens next challenges everyone's idea of neighbourliness.
The House They Grew Up In is a tender, dark and funny look at a co-dependent relationship between a brother and a sister, and how they cope when the world bursts in on them. It explores how, in an age of anxiety, we live alongside those different to us.
Premiered at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in July 2017.
