Synopsis

In Henrik Ibsen's compelling play, "Lady Inger of Ostrat," the intricate interplay of politics, family loyalty, and societal expectations unfolds within the context of 16th-century Norway. Ibsen employs a rich tapestry of dialogues that blend realism with elements of dramatic tension, showcasing his mastery of character development. The play investigates themes of power and autonomy, as Lady Inger strives to reclaim her family's honor amidst the tumult of political intrigue, illustrating the playwright's burgeoning interest in the complexities of individual agency within rigid social structures. Henrik Ibsen, often heralded as the father of modern drama, drew upon his own experiences of social critique and personal conflict when crafting this play. His early life in Norway, marked by financial hardship and cultural upheaval, endowed him with a unique perspective on the constraints of society. "Lady Inger of Ostrat" reflects Ibsen's condemnation of traditional norms, presenting a heroine who navigates the treacherous waters of political and familial obligation, thus foreshadowing the feminist themes that would dominate his later work. For readers and theatre enthusiasts alike, Ibsen's "Lady Inger of Ostrat" offers a profound exploration of human resilience and moral dilemmas, making it a timeless study of the struggle for identity and autonomy. This play is a must-read for those interested in the evolution of modern drama and the enduring questions of personal freedom and societal constraint.

    It's club night and the tracks are spinning. Set against a backdrop of precarious lives in urban London, two headliners crossfade between stories of love, sex, and losing their creative spark.
    Bangers follows the highs and lows of two strangers as they struggle with their own pasts, while hurtling towards each other's futures. All the while, the DJ continues to play, dropping samples and words of wisdom. In the end, it's not the last track that counts, but the one coming up next...
    Featuring original music inspired by early noughties and present-day R&B and Garage, Danusia Samal's exhilarating play was first co-produced by Cardboard Citizens and Soho Theatre, and directed by the former's Artistic Director Chris Sonnex. It toured community venues across London, before a run at Soho Theatre, London, in 2022.

    She was aware of the clatter of her purse as it slipped from her fingers when he pushed her against the large white pillar. He pushed up her dress, reached between her thighs, and groped for her pussy with his fingers. She let it happen. He apparently didn't care about her at all. He was just looking for a pussy to fuck. She wasn't wet, but he didn't care. He turned her to face the pillar and thrust his cock into her from behind. She groaned, but more from pain, because his cock was quite large. While he fucked her from behind, he murmured something in a language she didn't understand. 
    Not suitable for those under 18 years of age.

    This critically-acclaimed "tour-de-force one-man performance" (Falls Church News-Press Entertainment Writer) brings new life to one of Edgar Allan Poe's little known, but significant, stories.  In 1833, as part of a short story writing contest, Poe crafted "MS Found in a Bottle."  This story topped over 100 other entries and earned the 1st place prize of $50 and publication in the Saturday Visiter Newspaper.  This story inspired later writers like Herman Melville and Jules Verne, and, while not his most popular work, it launched his career as a writer.   
    In this production, listeners will be engrossed in the story through classic narration encompassing multiple characters, incredible sound effects to bring you into the ghost ship amongst the zombie-like crew, into the hurricanes and the doldrums, and in the cold winds of Antarctica.

    This is a debut collection of poetry read by the author. 
    The specific beauties of the poems in Judy Katz’s How News Travels have to do with their accounts of actual human living—among family, among friends, in the real world, with its griefs and losses and growth, its immersions in time, hour by hour, day by day, its immersions in consciousness. The other beauty here, the perpetual beauty, is the illumination—the afterglow, the underglow, the aurora—with which the poet cradles and surrounds her world. A clarifying, eloquent distillation of the truth of our experience, and a wonderful book.  
    — Vijay Seshadri  
    By exploring presence and absence and presence in absence, Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. These poems feel both inevitable and surprising, as they invite us into the passage of time. “There is a trail I can follow–– / each of us leaves it, / our light impress…” she writes, and we are transformed by her attention to detail, fresh imagery, and wonder. This is a collection to savor, for “who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.”  
    — Ellen Bass 
    The voice is so alive, often so playful—and again and again, you will find yourself in a dialogue with the unknowable....How News Travels is a stunning book.  
    — D. Nurkse
