Ashes & Ambers

Ishika Chaterjee

Sinossi

This collection doesn’t ask you to be okay—it simply sits with you in the ruins, whispering gently to your wounds. These poems hold the ache, the grief, and the quiet strength it takes to keep choosing yourself, even on the days when it feels impossible. They don’t promise light, but they remind you it still exists, somewhere beyond the dark.
 
This is where healing begins—not in perfection, but in presence. In the staying. In the softness that survives.

Scenes from a Repatriation

Joel Tan

'All of human history? It's basically people taking things from each other.'
A thousand-year-old statue of the Bodhisattva Guanyin lives in the British Museum. When it emerges that the statue was stolen from its original home, the museum attempts to deflect both the public response and controversial repatriation claims from the Chinese government.
As statesmen scheme and grease their palms, beneath the statue, witches dance, a cleaner prays, and spirits weep.
Joel Tan's daring, shape-shifting play unfolds the statue's journey from China to Britain and back again, stirring up age-old ghosts and asking who can claim cultural artefacts – and why?
Scenes from a Repatriation was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by experimental theatre-makers emma + pj.

Ivy Tiller: Vicar's Daughter...

Bea Roberts

Entrenched in her picturesque Devonshire village, Ivy Tiller is preparing to wage a war.
Her target: the invasive grey squirrel. Her goal: to oust the invaders and restore the native red squirrels as the 'rightful' inhabitants. Galvanised by her important mission, Ivy's determination swells to uncomfortable heights.
Bea Roberts' blackly comic play Ivy Tiller: Vicar's Daughter, Squirrel Killer challenges our assumptions about who belongs and who thrives, and exposes the dark side of the rural idyll.
