Sinopsis

"When We Dead Awaken" is the final play of Henrik Ibsen, encapsulating his profound exploration of existential themes and the human condition. Written in 1899, this poignant work employs a symbolist style, blending realism with allegorical elements to investigate the complexities of identity, art, and the inevitability of mortality. Centered around the encounter between a sculptor and the women in his life, Ibsen crafts a narrative steeped in metaphysical inquiry, prompting readers to reflect upon the nature of awakening and the consequences of creative endeavor in a world fraught with societal constraints. Henrik Ibsen, often hailed as the father of modern drama, drew from his own experiences and societal observations when crafting his plays. His struggles with personal identity and the moral dilemmas of artistic expression in a rapidly changing world profoundly influenced his later works. Ibsen's own conflicts with societal expectations and his longing for authenticity resonate through the characters and themes of "When We Dead Awaken," reflecting a culmination of his philosophical and artistic journey. This remarkable play is highly recommended for those exploring the intersections of art, identity, and mortality. Ibsen's rich characterizations and thought-provoking dialogue make it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of modern literature alike, inviting readers to confront their own awakenings as they navigate the intricacies of life.

    Does Lieutenant Vera Backland lust for her suspect? Has she plotted revenge for her lover? 
    Go on a journey through this story to find out who might've been the actual killer and who might've been manipulated to think that they're the murderer. 
    On the night of January 20, Lieutenant Vera Backland visits her favorite bar and sees a man who attracts her in an unusual way. A few hours later she visits a strange crime scene, in Sleepy Hollow. But Vera is not at her best; the disappearance of someone close to her has wreaked havoc on her psyche and she knows she's not one hundred percent ready to lead the new Complex Crimes Bureau in New York City. 
    Along with her partner Luke Faller, she must find the murderer before he continues to claim more victims, guided by the play The Divine Comedy and by the classification he has made of sinners. 
    Vera doubts everything and everyone. Even from herself, and for this she asks for help from her psychiatrist Alan Holt and her former tutor Clarence Perkins. She must not only understand the killer's mind but her own. With a vast criminal imagination and a new erotic imagination, Vera must come to terms with the shadows she carries before the shadows consume her.

    The apprenticeships are only meant to last a year - there were never any guarantees beyond that. For Ava, Liv, Mason and Trent, they're just trying to get through the day.

In a couple of months they'll be kicked out anyway, and God knows what happens after that. Who's looking out for them?
    Scissors is a play about family, heritage and legacy, and is part of Chris Bush's trilogy of plays about a Sheffield manufacturing family, Rock / Paper / Scissors.

    'This house. It's called "Sea View". It's just I've looked out of every window, and you can't. You can't see the sea.'
    Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in two hundred years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.
    When memories from their youth come flooding back, the sisters must confront their past and untangle a web of secrets, betrayals and profound emotional bonds.
    Jez Butterworth's play The Hills of California was first performed at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2024, directed by Sam Mendes, and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions and Neal Street. This edition features the revised and definitive version of the play performed during its acclaimed Broadway transfer later that year.

    “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, 
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 
    "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door - 
    Only this, and nothing more." 
     
    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, 
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 
    Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had tried to borrow 
    From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - 
    For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore, 
    Nameless here for evermore.” 
     
    These are the first two verses of ‘The Raven’, a poem full of dark and disturbing images, rife with tension, fear, paranoia, terror and a yearning for a lost love that has returned to this earth as a ghost. As a poem ‘The Raven’ is without doubt more famous and widely known than the troubled author who penned it. His name was Edgar Allan Poe, and his work was directly responsible for shaping the modern horror industry as we know it. He was the Godfather of Gore, the Father of Fear, the Master of the Macabre, and the Guardian of the Gruesome. Poe was also one of the best mystery writers of all time, however the most fascinating puzzle he left us was that of his own life, and in this journal, we will follow in the great man’s footsteps to turn detective. 
     
    Edgar Allan Poe was born early in the 19th Century, yet still his legacy lives on. Throughout this celebration of his life and work, you’ll also get the opportunity to read extracts from his poetry and prose, some of which will be very familiar but just as terrifying all the same!
