Borrow's style is characterized by its romanticism and vivid imagery, reflecting the beauty and complexity of the natural landscape as well as the human experience. The work resonates with themes of longing and cultural heritage, echoing the Victorian fascination with the pastoral and the primitive, while simultaneously showcasing Borrow's affinity for the supernatural elements inherent in folk traditions. George Borrow was a prolific writer and philologist, deeply engaged with the cultures he encountered during his travels throughout England and Wales.

The Contingency Plan (2022...

Steve Waters

A double bill of plays from the frontline of climate change – an epic portrait of Britain in the grip of unprecedented and catastrophic floods.
In On the Beach, glaciologist Will has followed in his father's footsteps, dedicating himself to studying climate change. Back from Antarctica, he visits his parents on the Norfolk coast. With catastrophic flooding growing more likely by the day, he has news that forces long-submerged secrets to rise to the surface.
In Resilience, Will, freshly appointed as a scientific advisor, is in Westminster and he's out of his depth. Surrounded by ministers manoeuvring to impress, and with the threat of environmental disaster, can he get them to listen before it's too late?
Impressive in scale and chilling as a prediction of our immediate future, the two plays are complementary but can also stand alone.
Steve Waters' The Contingency Plan was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2009, and shortlisted for the John Whiting Award. It was revived, in this fully revised and updated version, at Sheffield Theatres in 2022, directed by Caroline Steinbeis and Chelsea Walker.
'An urgent wake-up call... for sheer emotional intensity, has no rival on the London stage... Waters' massive achievement is to have made the most important issue of our times into engrossing theatre' - Guardian
'A triumph' - Evening Standard
'Thrilling... masterly... a stunning theatrical knock-out' - Daily Telegraph
'The first and best British play on climate change' - Time Out

Martyrology Book 5

bp Nichol

'All of Nichol's work is stamped by his desire to create texts that are engaging in themselves as well as in context, and to use indirect structural and textual devices to carry meaning. In The Martyrology different ways of speaking testify to a journey through different ways of being. Language is both the poet’s instructor and, through its various permutations, the dominant 'image' of the poem. The [nine] books of The Martyrology document a poet’s quest for insight into himself and his writing through scrupulous attention to the messages hidden in the morphology of his own speech.' - Frank Davey
