Summary

James Boswell's 'No Abolition of Slavery' is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the institution of slavery in the 18th century. Through a series of meticulous accounts and detailed observations, Boswell sheds light on the harsh realities faced by slaves and the moral implications of their treatment. The book is written in a candid and straightforward style, making it accessible to readers of all backgrounds, while still maintaining a scholarly approach to the subject matter. In the literary context of the time, Boswell's work stands out for its unflinching look at the complexities of slavery and the resistance to its abolition. James Boswell, known for his biographical works, drew inspiration from his own experiences and interactions with individuals involved in the slave trade. His firsthand accounts and deep empathy for the plight of slaves give 'No Abolition of Slavery' a sense of authenticity and emotional depth. Boswell's dedication to truth and justice shines through in his passionate writing. I highly recommend 'No Abolition of Slavery' to readers interested in delving into the historical and moral dimensions of slavery. Boswell's unique perspective and insightful analysis make this book a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation about human rights and social justice.

    A vivid telling of the chaotic story of the partition that shaped the modern world.
London, 1947. Summoned by the Prime Minister from the court where he is presiding judge, Cyril Radcliffe is given an unlikely mission. He is to travel to India, a country he has never visited, and, with limited survey information, no expert support and no knowledge of cartography, he is to draw the border which will divide the Indian sub-continent into two new Sovereign Dominions. To make matters even more challenging, he has only six weeks to complete the task.
Wholly unsuited to his role, Radcliffe is unprepared for the dangerous whirlpool of political intrigue and passion into which he is plunged - untold consequences may even result from the illicit liaison between the Leader of the Congress Party and the Viceroy's wife' As he begins to break under the pressure he comes to realise that he holds in his hands the fate of millions of people.
Drawing the Line premiered at the Hampstead Theatre, London in December 2013.

    A play about the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland, The Last Witch explores the psychological rifts that can divide close communities and drive families apart.
Dornoch, northern Scotland, 1727. In the claustrophobic heat of summer, a woman's apparent ability to manipulate the power of land and sea stirs suspicion. Janet Horne can cure beasts, call the wind and charm fish out of the sea. Or can she? Her refusal to deny the charge of witchcraft puts her in dangerous opposition to the new sheriff. Her defiance threatens not only her own life but that of her daughter...
Rona Munro's play The Last Witch is based on the historical account of Janet Horne, the last woman to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland.
The play was commissioned by Edinburgh International Festival and co-produced by the Festival and the Traverse Theatre Company. It opened at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2009.
