Summary

In May 1926, Britain grinds to a halt, as workers down tools for the General Strike.
With the printing presses shut down, the only sources of news are the government's British Gazette, edited by Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill, and the independent, fledgling British Broadcasting Company, led by John Reith. The stage is set for a fierce battle over control of the news and who gets to define the truth.
Jack Thorne's When Winston Went To War With The Wireless is a gripping play about the birth of a great British institution and its efforts to stay impartial. It premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in June 2023, directed by Katy Rudd, with Stephen Campbell Moore as Reith, Adrian Scarborough as Churchill, and Haydn Gwynne as Stanley Baldwin.

Arlo Miller was born a victim, raised as his father’s punching bag and his mother’s scapegoat. Dimitri was his only protection, and they took him away. 
As children, they clung to each other. As adults, they pretend neither remembers, while both harbor secret crushes on the other. Dimitri hides his feelings behind a mask of indifference. Arlo hides his by falling for very bad men. 
When one of those men confronts Dimitri, this time it's Arlo who commits a felony. Murder. But Dimitri won’t allow Arlo to take the fall. With the help of Dimitri’s mother and seven psychopaths, they now have twenty-four hours to fake an alibi, hide a body, and confess their true feelings for each other, once and for all. 
Which is harder? Falling in love or getting away with murder?

Anthony wouldn't let anything stand in his way. 
 
His career as an operatic tenor was finally taking off, and he would be damned if he let some stalker keep him from his dreams. But he had made the mistake of telling his uncle about the threatening letters the creep had been leaving. Now he was saddled with a muscle-bound bodyguard who was seriously cramping his love life. No matter what Anthony did, he couldn't get rid of the stubborn Brit. Freddie just didn't fit in with his glamorous life. And how did the man never sleep? 
 
Freddie was there to do a job. 
 
Or maybe a few. He had been content as head of security for the Hughes vampire coven in London. But now he'd been sent to America to keep his coven master's nephew safe. Anthony couldn't find out about the existence of vampires, and he certainly couldn't find out that Freddie was one. Plus, he had to manage Anthony's demanding personality. And he absolutely had to keep himself from hooking up with the overbearing American. 
 
When friction erupts into steamy passion, can Freddie and Anthony forge a relationship together? Or will Freddie's secrets and the deadly vampires of the Azarian coven tear them apart?

Public Relations expert Emery Bates has exactly one problem she's willing to admit, and it's that she doesn't have a girlfriend to take as her date to a wedding. Not because she needs a girlfriend, but because she needs an easier way to come out to college friends that she hasn't seen in five years. Her job is about controlling the narrative, and as she sees it, there's no reason why that can't extend to her personal life. When her next door neighbor ends up single a few weeks before the wedding, problem solver Emery realizes inviting Jordan along and faking romance for a week in Hawaii could be perfect for both of them. 
 
 
 
Jordan Davis doesn't worry about much, especially what will happen tomorrow. Life's too short to plan every second, and it usually doesn't work out anyway. When Emery invites her on an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii, it's not a hard sell. She'll get to enjoy a tropical vacation with one of her closest friends, and she'll get to spend more time with Emery, away from Emery's hectic work schedule back in Austin. But, there's more to the request than Emery's letting on, and there's more to Jordan's willingness to help than she wants to admit. Faking it is all about the spin, but when lines begin to blur, both women have to decide if falling in love for real is worth the jump.
