  "We are such stuff as dreams are made on."
  
  Transport yourself to a remote, enchanted island in William Shakespeare's final masterpiece, The Tempest. Prospero, the usurped Duke of Milan, has spent twelve years in exile, mastering the occult arts and commanding the spirits of the isle. When a magical storm brings his treacherous enemies to his shores, Prospero finally has the chance to settle the score.
  
  The play is a breathtaking blend of spectacle and soul-searching. Guided by the ethereal spirit Ariel and hindered by the earthy, resentful Caliban, Prospero orchestrates a series of illusions to confront his brother's betrayal. Yet, amid the schemes of revenge, a tender romance blossoms between his daughter, Miranda, and the shipwrecked Prince Ferdinand.
  
  A profound meditation on the nature of authority, the bond of family, and the power of mercy, The Tempest is often seen as Shakespeare's farewell to the stage. This definitive edition captures the play's unique atmospheric beauty and its timeless message of reconciliation.
  
  Surrender to the magic of the isle. Buy "The Tempest" today and experience the Bard's final, visionary work.

  'I wonder what I have to do for people to recognise me as a threat. Do I have to smash a glass over the head of every single man I come into contact with, just so I leave a mark?'
  Irina takes erotic photos of average-looking men. Always behind the lens, she watches, she moulds, and she stalks. These boys are putty in her hands, just the way she likes it.
  When the opportunity to show her photographs in a fashionable London gallery coincides with a new boy to obsess over, cracks begin to appear. How far can she push her new prey for the perfect shot, or has she already gone too far?
  Based on the critically acclaimed debut novel by Eliza Clark, which was a finalist for the Women's Prize Futures Award, Boy Parts is a pitch-black psychological thriller that subverts the erotic gaze and asks what happens when our need for connection gets twisted.
  This stage adaptation for one actor by Gillian Greer was premiered in 2023 at Soho Theatre, London, in a co-production between Metal Rabbit Productions and Soho Theatre, and directed by Sara Joyce.

  'Boundaries are for breaking and if anyone can crash through and reinterpret the fear of our time, Eliza Clark can'Mslexia
  'Hallucinogenic, electric and sharp' Jessica Andrews

  'Smart, stylish, and very funny' Lara Williams
  'Explores the darkest corners of artistic practice, sexuality and violence with bold wit and fearlessness. A dazzling, horrifying debut'Irish Times

  John Davidson was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire on 11th April 1857.  
  In 1862 his family moved to Greenock and there he began his education at Highlanders' Academy.  Davidson would now spend many years at school and the beginnings of a career in various industries before gaining employment in various schools. 
  By now literature was a large part of his activities and his first published work was ‘Bruce, A Chronicle Play’ in 1886. Four other plays quickly followed including the somewhat brilliant pantomimic ‘Scaramouch in Naxos’ (1889). 
  With his reputation gradually providing an income he was also able to explore his true medium; Verse.  ‘In a Music Hall and Other Poems’ (1891) together with ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (1893) were ample proof that he possessed a quite rare, genuine and distinctive poetic gift.   
  Davidson now turned further and further towards verse. In 1894 he published his most popular volume, ‘Ballads and Songs’ (1894), and this was followed by a further ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (Second Series) (1896) and by ‘New Ballads’ (1897) and ‘The Last Ballad’ (1899). 
  As the new century dawned Davidson was hard at work on a series of ‘Testaments’, in which he gave definite expression to his philosophy and were published over a seven year period; ‘The Testament of a Vivisector’ (1901), ‘The Testament of a Man Forbid’ (1901), ‘The Testament of an Empire Builder’ (1902), and ‘The Testament of John Davidson’ (1908).  
  However, on 23rd March 1909, with his finances in ruins, the onset of cancer and profound hopelessness and clinical depression he left his house for the last time.  His body was only found on September 18th by some local fishermen.
