  Helen Edmundson's gripping play tells the little-known story of a monarch caught between friendship and duty.
  1702. William III is on the throne and England is on the verge of war.
  Princess Anne is soon to become Queen, and her advisors vie for influence over the future monarch. Who can Anne turn to when even her most trusted friends seem bent on pursuing power?
  Contending with deceit and blackmail, Anne must decide where her allegiances lie, and whether to sacrifice her closest relationships for the sake of the country.
  Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Queen Anne premiered at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in November 2015, and was revived at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, in 2017.
  'Fascinating... Edmundson is particularly good on the intricacies of court politics... it is invigorating to see a play that shows women exercising power'- Guardian
  'enthralling... provides two absolutely terrific female roles'- WhatsOnStage
  'a richly textured, modern history play... a truly compelling drama'- The Stage

  From the author of the award-winning Tap Out – “a gritty, insightful debut” (Washington Post) – Edgar Kunz’s second poetry collection propels the reader across the shifting terrain of late-capitalist America.  
   Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry. The virtuosic central sequence explores the untimely death of the poet’s estranged father, a handyman and addict, and the brothers left to sort through the detritus of a life long lost to them. Through lyrical, darkly humorous vignettes, Kunz asks what it costs to build a home and a love that not only lasts but sustains.

  Against all odds, recent graduate Sofia gets a job as PA to one of the wealthiest bankers in the country. But her mother questions whether she gave more than a good interview to get it.
  While the unapologetic bankers get rich, others are losing everything they've worked for. Just what will they be driven to? Suicide? Murder? In a subtle game of cat and mouse, split loyalties and conflicting morals, Alexandra Wood's thrilling and darkly funny new play looks at the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship, the growing gap between rich and poor, and a young woman stuck in between.
  Alexandra Wood's previous plays include an adaptation of Jung Chang's Wild Swans (Young Vic/American Repertory Theater); The Initiate (Paines Plough); The Empty Quarter (Hampstead Theatre) and The Eleventh Capital (Royal Court).
