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.

    The father of Ulysses, The Dublineers, and Finnegan's Wake (James Joyce) was also an avidly prolific poet. As of recently, most of his poems entered the public domain, so let us continue with this season's overarching theme of reading early twentieth century Irish Literature, and do a deep dive on the poems of one of Ireland's greatest literary giants--poems of love, life, happiness, sorrow, and rebuttal... but most of all, love.

    Quietly reflective, the beautifully written poems in this slim volume offer a welcome respite from the noisy insistence of modern life. The language, now simple and direct, now rich in associations, double-meanings, and imagery, has its own natural rhythm and appeal regardless of subject and rhyme. Intriguing, absorbing, thought-provoking, the poems are innovative and fresh and the intensity of the verses in places will undoubtedly strike a chord with readers of all kinds - both established readers of poetry, those who read poetry now and again, and those 
turning to poetry for the first time. Largely relating one person's take on how it is to be in the world, the poems address such aspects of life as time, being, loss, culture, and contingency. The collection is divided into three sections - non-rhyming poems, rhyming poems, and a 
concluding section of lighter, more humorous verses, with each of two additional poems serving as foreword and afterword.

    Quantum is a channeled poetry book about manifesting a new reality for ourselves, and the planet.  
This poetry book is for those who are ready to attract, manifest, and magnetize all that they desire. 
It’s time to create 
A new reality

How to create and manifest 
All that you believe 
So that you can allow yourself

All that you wish for 
And all that you desire 
Will come to you 
In the sacred fire 
Allow yourself 
To illuminate the night 
And shine like the stars 
With your infinite light 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by the quantum queen, who helped me write a brand new dream. 
If it’s time for you to attract, manifest, and magnetize all your desires, allow Quantum A New Reality to help you anchor the vibration of a new reality!

    Against the turbulent backdrop of declared martial law in South Carolina, a stunning light-skinned beauty, Vanessa, lives in a Catholic orphanage for Blacks. After a series of racial traumas, Vanessa obtains the birth certificate of a deceased white baby and uses this document to assume the child's identity. She moves to California and enrolls at UC Berkeley under her newly acquired name. 
Vanessa marries into one of California's wealthiest families. Her charmed life abruptly ends eighteen months after the birth of her first child who is diagnosed with sickle cell trait. Discovering that the woman he married is Black, as is his toddler son, Vanessa's ruthless husband plots his revenge but they both survive. The police investigation that follows seems pretty clear-cut until a curious, young detective uncovers some clues to her private life where nothing is as it appears. The aftermath of the discovery brings down a pillar of San Francisco society.
