  'We're children of God, sister. No hunk of metal could replace any one of us.'
  Behind the crumbling walls of St Grace's Convent, an exhausted order of nuns needs resurrecting. As Easter approaches, Mother Elizabeth has just the thing.
  Behold 'Mary', a council-funded robot. Practical and surprisingly funny, for some a blessing, for others a curse – could she be the revelation they have all been praying for?
  Electric Rosary is a sharp, timely and gloriously funny play by Tim Foley, asking what faith really means in the age of artificial intelligence and what it is to be human in tomorrow's world. It was a Judges' Award winner in the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2022.

  My Ariel

  A poem-by-poem engagement with Sylvia Plath's Ariel and the towering mythology surrounding it.
    When I am a bitch I feel in such good company.
    Nice girls never gave me anything but trouble,
    Eating the ground out from under me, then waving
    As I fall. Pity one has to die to see how liberating
    Bad can be. But what news had I of my own self?
    Words landed like razors, hours tinkled, suitors arrived.
    Listen, you'll think otherwise, but I tell you, betrayal
    Is your Get Out of Jail Free card. Take it,
    Don't look back. Of course you will. Look back.
    We always do, we who adore the muscle
    Of our cashmere cells, a cock that makes
    Our knees weak. Darlings, don't be sweet,
    Or serviceable. Don't accommodate,
    Write in blood or don't bother ...
    
    Where were you when you first read Ariel? Who were you? What has changed in your life? In the lives of women? In My Ariel, Sina Queyras barges into one of the iconic texts of the twentieth century, with her own family baggage in tow, exploring and exploding the cultural norms, forms, and procedures that frame and contain the lives of women.

  Self-Portrait With Family

  In Self-Portrait With Family, Amaan Hyder traces a personal history of family and queerness. With poems that focus on coming out, the collection depicts the relationship between a son and his parents, and an immigrant family and its community in the diaspora. Featuring snapshots of conversations across dinner tables and phone lines, Hyder's striking and beautifully precise poems bring into relief what is said and not said, the retreat from speech and the longing to hear from another.
  By turns tender and skilfully observed, this collection also looks from the family home to the individual experience of the brown queer man in public spaces, searching for intimate connection whilst experiencing discrimination. Self-Portrait With Family distinctively frames such narratives of closeness and distance, exploring a range of poetic forms to draw together intergenerational familial and gay relationships, English and Urdu, the world of the family home and the world outside of it.
