Summary

'All children grow up, except one.'
Chasing his runaway shadow, a mischievous young boy who will never grow up crash lands through an open window and meets a headstrong young girl who is desperate to be an adult.
With a sprinkle of fairy dust, they take flight on a whirlwind voyage over pirate ships, through mermaid lagoons and into the heart of Neverland.
Adapted from J.M. Barrie's perennial favourite, this enchanting new version by Evan Placey, with songs by Vikki Stone, premiered in 2023 at Rose Theatre, Kingston upon Thames, directed by Lucy Morrell. It was commissioned by the Rose to be performed by twenty members of the Rose Youth Theatre alongside four professional adult actors. It offers rich opportunities for other theatre companies who want to keep their audiences hooked with a magical, musical classic.

    Top 10 Poets The - Died in World...

    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. 
 
It is at first difficult to comprehend that the carnage and slaughter of War could yield some of our greatest poetry.  Harder still that in four years of horror humanity was able to destroy and create on such a scale.  These 10 poets and their verses speak for everyone.

    Dive into the heart-wrenching world of Voices of New Belarus, a searing documentary drama by renowned Belarusian playwright-in-exile Andrei Kureichik. This powerful work captures the harrowing events of the 2020 Belarusian revolution through the deeply personal accounts of 16 political prisoners. Each monologue reveals a distinct story, a unique truth, and together they create an unflinching mosaic of resistance, sacrifice, and hope.First presented at Yale University and the Oslo Freedom Forum—the world’s foremost human rights festival—these testimonies come to life through the voices of the Yale School of Drama’s finest actors and prominent intellectuals: historian Timothy Snyder, intellectual history professor Marci Shore, fascism scholar Jason Stanley, and the visionary theatre director Jura Kordonsky. They embody the words of Belarusian heroes, including imprisoned Nobel laureate Ales Bialiatsky, revolutionary icon Maria Kolesnikova, and many others—politicians, journalists, priests, and ordinary citizens—who stood up against the brutal regime of dictator Alexander Lukashenko.This audiobook is not just a performance—it’s a testament to truth that refuses to be silenced. Half of the proceeds will directly support funds aiding political prisoners and their families, making each listen a contribution to justice. Prepare for an emotional journey that will challenge your understanding of freedom—and leave your soul forever changed.

    Things That Happen - And Other...

    Bhaskar Chakrabarti

    Bhaskar Chakrabarti's poetry is synonymous with the romantic melancholia inherent to Calcutta. His trenchant poetic voice was one of the most significant to emerge in the 1960s and '70s-perhaps the most prolific period of modern Bengali poetry. Spanning the rise of militant leftism, the spread of crippling poverty across India, the war in Bangladesh, the influx of millions of refugees, the dark, dictatorial days of Indira Gandhi's reign, and the disillusionment of communist rule in Bengal, Chakrabarti's poems plumb the depths of urban angst, expressing the spirit of sadness and alienation in delicate metaphors wrapped in deceptively lucid language.

In this first-ever comprehensive translation of Chakrabarti's work, award-winning translator Arunava Sinha masterfully articulates that clarity of vision, retaining the unique cadence and idioms of the Bengali language. Presenting verses and prose poems from all of Chakrabarti's life-from his first volume, When Will Winter Come, published in 1971, to his last, The Language of Giraffes, published just before his death in 2005, and collecting several unpublished works as well-Things That Happen and Other Poems introduces the world to a brilliant and universal poetic voice of urban life.
