Synopsis

In "Rubáiyát of Doc Sifers," James Whitcomb Riley presents a mesmerizing blend of whimsical and profound verse, echoing the stylistic elegance of Persian poetry while rooting it in the American literary tradition. This notable work employs a series of quatrains to explore themes of existence, nature, and human emotion, showcasing Riley's unique ability to marry folk simplicity with philosophical depth. The book stands out in the late 19th-century literary landscape, reflecting the growing influence of Eastern poetics amid American literary nationalism, all infused with Riley's trademark humor and tenderness. James Whitcomb Riley, often referred to as the "Poet of the People," cultivated a deep connection with rural life and its quintessential characters, such as Doc Sifers. This work arose from Riley's experiential understanding of Midwestern vernacular speech and his fascination with life's deeper musings, likely inspired by a desire to capture the everyday wisdom and oral traditions present in his community. His career as a storyteller and performer profoundly informed his poetic voice, enabling him to engage readers with authenticity. Readers seeking a contemplative yet accessible entry into the world of poetry will find "Rubáiyát of Doc Sifers" a delightful and enriching experience. Riley's blending of humor and poignancy invites reflection and joy, making it a must-read for both poetry enthusiasts and those new to the genre.

    The Pulitzer Prize-finalist play that “speaks to the fractious, frightened American moment" through the lives two couples and their strained friendship (Charles Isherwood, The New York Times).In a "first ring" suburb of a midsize American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who've moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold that newly unemployed Ben and burgeoning alcoholic Mary have on their way of life—with unexpected comic consequences. Detroit is a fresh, offbeat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new. After premiering at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre to rave reviews, Lisa D'Amour's brilliant and timely play won the 2013 Obie Award, as well as becoming a finalist for the Pulitzer and Susan Smith Blackburn Awards.

    'I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Apprise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, he's a human fucking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!'
    A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And a chance to make amends…
    It's the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won't die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
    Inspired by real events, Mark Rosenblatt's debut play Giant offers a nuanced portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon – and explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
    The play was first performed to great acclaim at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Nicholas Hytner with a cast including John Lithgow as Dahl. It transferred to the West End the following year, and won the Olivier and Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Play.
