Synopsis

A startling and darkly comic drama about childhood, family and fantasy. Winner of the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and adapted into a BAFTA-winning six-part BBC television drama, Just Act Normal.
Siblings Tiana, Tionne and Tanika have found themselves home alone. Tiana's keeping it all together by taking charge of housework and homework.
But Tionne's experiments are getting stranger and Tanika's starting to act up. As the outside world begins to press in, the three will do anything to keep their secret safe from the adults who come to call.
Janice Okoh's play Three Birds won the 2011 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and was first performed at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2013 before transferring to the Bush Theatre, London.
It was later adapted into a six-part television drama for BBC3, Just Act Normal. First broadcast in 2025, it won Janice Okoh the Emerging Talent: Fiction award at the 2026 BAFTA Television Craft Awards.
'A play that is as humane as it is savage... as funny as it is alarming. It is written with as much warmth as it is with truth. It's funny and theatrical and alert and alive. It's terrific.' Simon Stephens, playwright and Chair of the Judges for the 2011 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting

    Crossing Continents of Seasons is a luminous collection of poems tracing one soul's passage from confinement to freedom, from silence to belonging, from loss to love. Through vivid imagery and quiet honesty, Amer Malas explores the borders we inherit and the ones we create—the emotional geographies of exile, memory, and renewal. 
    These poems move through childhood's small boxes, the ache of displacement, and the slow awakening of the heart. Blending spiritual reflection and lyrical storytelling, the book invites readers to walk beside the author through landscapes of shadow and light, where grief softens into understanding and stillness becomes home. 
    For those standing between worlds or learning to begin again, Crossing Continents of Seasons is both a mirror and a lantern—an offering of presence, healing, and hope.

    In the second Domesticated instalment, East Anglian punk poet, James Domestic, is once again taking potshots at work, so-called-punk-rock, outdoor and indoor pursuits, aging, right wing lunatics, politics, feet, and himself. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also find his trademark surrealism, sarcasm, and quintessentially British whimsy applied to animals, emails, food, and the power of music, alongside his idiosyncratic illustrations, and photographs from his murky past. 
      
    A man in too many bands to count, a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, and a punk. James Domestic failed miserably at school through the distractions of music, alcohol, and girls, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD. A square peg in life’s round hole. A face that never fitted. He couldn’t care less. Come along for the ride. 
      
    “A sardonic, sarcastic wit, a penchant for the surreal, and a dynamic pace” (Nathan Brown, Louder Than War) 
      
    “Words that bite, belch, and bleed in their brilliance” (Mark Grist, multi-award-winning poet and battle rapper) 
      
    “A unique collection of poetic ventures into the human condition, with humour, anger, and a canny use of language: inspired and inspiring!” (Dick Lucas, Subhumans, Culture Shock etc.) 
      
    “Relentless” (Attila the Stockbroker, social surrealist poet and songwriter).
