Sinopsis

One morning, he woke to find himself transformed.
In one of the most striking opening scenes in world literature, Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, awakens to discover he has inexplicably transformed into a gigantic insect. As he grapples with his new reality, Gregor's relationships with his family unravel, revealing the fragility of compassion and the cruelty that can emerge from fear and shame.

First published in 1915, The Metamorphosis is Franz Kafka's defining work, blending surrealism, psychological depth, and biting social commentary. This haunting novella explores themes of alienation, identity, and the often-unspoken burdens of family obligation.

"A disturbing yet deeply human masterpiece."
– The New York Times

"Kafka's genius lies in making the absurd utterly believable—and painfully relatable."
– The Guardian

    'What use is a boy who can't say his own name?'
    Sonny is twelve. He stammers and is finding his way in a world ruled by vicious vowels, confusing consonants, and the biggest beast of all – small talk. His only escape is with a comic-book hero of his own creation, who helps Sonny soar above his reality.
    But when he's cast by the headteacher in the school production of Hamlet, he soon discovers that language is power – and the real heroes are closer than he thinks.
    Ross Willis's play Wonder Boy is a 'boundingly imaginative' (The Times) drama about the power of finding your own voice. It was first directed by Sally Cookson, performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2022, named Best Play at the 2023 Writers' Guild Awards, and revived for a UK tour in 2024.

    Four writers.

    One long-distance writing affair. 
     
    The passing of the mother together with memories of other losses and absences come together in Lost Bodies, a meditation on the transience of time and love and an invitation to get away—physically or spiritually—from worldly concerns to explore a different history, a different culture, a different light, laced with dreamy scents and the faint calls of fado.

    Cutting Room both describes and pushes against the anxious hum of the technologically saturated present. Sarah Pinder's poems navigate domestic and 'natural' spaces as landscapes charged with possible violence and desire. Using hyper-focus and the long gaze, they draw the eye to the corners and seams of these spaces, slowing us down, shifting our focus to worn detail, asking us to seek pattern and possibility in a hyper-paced present tense. Theseare little ominous films, documenting the minutiae around us that can be our undoing.
