  "Let me tell you a story," she begins. "Because tonight, I am hurting, and I need you to listen. Tonight, I need you to see me again." 
  Losing Time is captivating exploration of love, loss, and healing inspired by autobiographical elements where the echoes of a past love still resonate. Like a modern-day Scheherazade, the woman, cloaked by the foreboding night in the stillness of time, beckons her lost lover to hear her voice once more. In poetic prose and evocative poetry, she weaves their story through the tapestry of pain and emotional turmoil, seeking solace in shared experiences and a path toward closure. 
  As the narrative moves between Europe, India, and Abu Dhabi, it gathers fragments of the events, revealing the elusive nature of time in moments of anguish. Narrative progression is not the goal of this story, which resembles a Borgesian labyrinth of emotion: the heroine wanders amongst her past, continuously reinterpreting the same events, observing them like snowflakes slowly spinning in a snow globe. The text is dense with symbolism as her memories and feelings converge, blurring the lines between reality and dreams, and eventually solidifying into complex artifacts of emotional experience. It is in this reliving of the past that she finds herself "losing time," yet paradoxically discovering new revelations. 
  Losing Time touches upon themes of intercultural romance, temptation, loyalty, and the profound significance of rediscovering one's voice. This book is a must-listen for those who crave an atmospheric and ephemeral narrative with a rich emotional undercurrent that seamlessly blends melancholic and meditative poetry with literary fiction.

  – Every man for himself.
  – I'd say we're better off sticking together.
  In a mysterious dystopia, against a backdrop of war, a life raft filled with children is adrift at sea – their passenger liner sunk by an unknown and unseen enemy.
  As darkness falls and their rations dwindle, fear, superstition and madness start to take hold. Hours turn into days, and it becomes clear that not all of them will make it back to dry land alive...
  Life Raft is a thrilling contemporary adaptation of The Raft of the Medusa, Georg Kaiser's 1945 play, written during his exile from Nazi Germany, and inspired by a terrifying true story.
  Written by Fin Kennedy in collaboration with Bristol Old Vic's acclaimed Young Company, and originally performed by them under the direction of Melly Still, this large-cast play for young actors is a dark study in the psychology of survival – and an urgent allegory for our times.
  This definitive edition of the play is accompanied by a series of interactive games specially created by award-winning games designer Tassos Stevens, allowing young people a deeper exploration of the play's themes, and the opportunity to create their own new stories inspired by the scenario.
