  'Fereydoun Farrokhzad is invisible to everyone apart from, mostly, Iranians, because nobody apart from them ever has to think about him.'
  It's the 1970s, and Fereydoun Farrokhzad's star is blazing bright – he's a sex symbol and chart-topping pop singer. Imagine an Iranian Tom Jones. A decade on and he's living in political exile in Germany, though still selling out the Royal Albert Hall. Then, on 7 August 1992, he's found brutally murdered. The neighbours said his dogs had been barking for two nights. The case has never been solved.
  Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World is an investigation into the nature of investigation; part free-wheeling lecture, part podcast and part play. It is a thrilling ride down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia and true-crime podcasts, sorting through the tangle of information available online to reveal the limits of the search engines in solving a decades-old cold case.
  Originally produced by The Javaad Alipoor Company in 2022, this witty, fast-paced and cutting-edge play, by Javaad Alipoor with Chris Thorpe, was co-commissioned by HOME and the National Theatre of Parramatta. It has toured worldwide, including a run at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, during the 2023 Festival Fringe.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
  In this volume we discover poets whose storied verse has captured breath and imagination during its relatively short history as a nation.   Words, themes and subjects are melded together in unique and inspiring ways, stretched across its peoples, landscapes and history in ways that only Americans can.

  The year is 2043, and Reem and her husband Sayeed are going to share a 'Serious Play about Palestine'. Things are tense. People are on the edge. The Fifth Intifada is right around the corner. But on a contested piece of land near their village of Beit al-Qadir, Reem and Sayeed are about to go dogging. Don't worry, you're allowed to laugh.
  Sami Ibrahim's play two Palestinians go dogging uses the lens of humour to explore how the everyday becomes political and the political becomes everyday in a conflict zone.
  The play won the Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award in 2019 and was premiered in May 2022 at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Upstairs, London, directed by Omar Elerian.

  GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. 
  (Harmony-Join Book 4) 
  Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. 
  I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt 
  any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there - truly awful. 
  This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides 
  of the Political spectrum. 
  I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war 
  is horrific. 
  Regardless of who did what to who, and who did it first etc, it should be focused on the humanitarian side 
  in any conflict lest we lose sight of what we maybe fighting for - I think the focus on humanity has been totally 
  lost. 
  Are we to Turn Our Back on these people. The West should push for extreme Sanctions to reign in the seemingly 
  unstoppable gungho aggression of the combatants - There is a Geneva convention you know. 
  It can only mean something if it is enforced... 
  Footnote: This Poem is all about the kids in this conflict. Whose right and whose wrong, shouldn't come into it 
  on the humanitarian field of view.
