An Interrogation

Jamie Armitage

Summary

'I don't seem like the type to do this sort of thing. Do I?'

The Prophet

Kahlil Gibran

"You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts."

In the city of Orphalese, the people gather to say farewell to Al-Mustafa, the "Chosen and the Beloved." Before he departs, they ask him to speak his truth on the fundamental experiences of human life. Through a series of lyrical and profound dialogues, Al-Mustafa provides timeless insights into love, pain, work, friendship, and death. Gibran's work transcends religion and culture, offering a blueprint for a life lived with meaning, compassion, and spiritual freedom.

The Art of Living: Gibran does not offer rigid rules but rather a philosophy of balance. He teaches that joy and sorrow are inseparable, that work is "love made visible," and that true friendship is a field "which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving." His words act as a mirror, reflecting the reader's own inner wisdom.

A Global Phenomenon: Since its publication, The Prophet has never been out of print. Its popularity lies in its simplicity and its ability to speak directly to the human heart. It has served as a guide for millions during life's most significant transitions—from weddings and births to the finality of death.

A Synthesis of East and West: As a Lebanese-American artist, Gibran blended the mysticism of the East with the Romanticism of the West. This unique perspective allowed him to create a work that feels both ancient and modern, providing a sanctuary of peace in an increasingly chaotic world.

Silica to Quartz - Whispers of...

Johanita Viljoen

O Reader, so special and dear!  
Perhaps, in a corner, you sit today,  
spirit broken, tears rolled, you sway.  
A grain of sand, swept off, só confused;  
struggling, searching, your heart suffered, bruised!  
Many uncertainties weigh on your soul-  
unexpected illness, violence, death a toll.  
May poetic words ease your heart's silent plea-  
heavenly comfort to help you be free!  
To relax and smile through both joy and despair,  
read Isaiah 43, find solace in prayer!  
And may that tiny grain of silica becomes bright,  
unfolding like quartz, bringing beauty and light!  
Wishes from my heart, 
Johanita

Farm Hall

Katherine Moar

'It was never about the Reich or the war. It was about physics.'
Summer 1945. Hitler is dead, but the war in the Pacific rages on. When six of Germany's top nuclear scientists – including three Nobel Prize winners – are detained by Allied forces at a stately home in the Cambridgeshire countryside, they find themselves shut off from the outside world. Their only distractions are board games, a broken piano and a copy of Blithe Spirit. But as the months go by, their attention turns to the ongoing war and thoughts of their broken homeland.
The scientists' tranquil summer is shattered by the inconceivable news that the Americans have succeeded where the Germans have failed: the United States has not only built an atomic bomb, but they have used one against Japan.
Katherine Moar's captivating debut play Farm Hall dramatises the true story recorded inside the bugged walls of the actual Farm Hall between July 1945 and January 1946. It was premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in March 2023, before transferring to the Theatre Royal Bath, directed by Stephen Unwin. It transferred to the West End's Theatre Royal, Haymarket, in 2024.

The Odyssey - Books 9 & 10

Homer

From the glittering halls of the Phaeacians to the darkest enchanted forests, Odysseus recounts his most iconic trials in Books 9 and 10 of Homer’s Odyssey. In Samuel Butler’s lucid, fast-moving prose, performed with gripping clarity by William Johnston, hear the harrowing clash with Polyphemus the Cyclops and the audacious “Nobody” ruse; the dreamy peril of the Lotus-Eaters; Aeolus’s fateful gift of the winds and the crew’s disastrous curiosity; the cannibal Laestrygonians who shatter the fleet; and the sorceress Circe, whose spellbound isle turns men to swine—until Hermes’s moly and Odysseus’s iron will break the curse.  
 
This vivid, self-contained segment brims with momentum, danger, wit, and heart—leadership tested, loyalty strained, and homecoming deferred. Johnston’s narration captures roaring seas, monstrous fury, and the intimate ache of loss, while Butler’s translation delivers the tale with modern immediacy and classical grandeur. Whether you’re discovering Homer for the first time or revisiting a cornerstone of world literature, this performance offers an unforgettable journey through cunning, temptation, and resilience—setting the stage for the voyage to the underworld to come.
