  Audacious Poems and Songs That...

  Growing up on a small family farm in the great State of Ohio, brought me close to God, as I saw firsthand His word come to life. The plant life, farm animals, and family relationships all reflected the words of Genesis and His creation as written in His Holy Word. When my father plowed the land, memories still linger as I took off my shoes and socks to feel the cool moist soil against my feet as they sank into the freshly turned earth or the times I sat in the woods on a rainy day, the trees bowing to one another in the wind, raindrops falling from the sky and lighting and thunder putting on a display that no artist could match.I experienced a loving father and mother that taught us hard work, family unity, and faithfulness to God was the foundation of living life as taught in the Bible.As stated in the Bible, God authorized governments the power and authority to carry out the enforcement of civil law to protect its citizens from lawlessness, and to support and show proper respect for authority.God also allowed military buildup that had the authority to defend a nation’s borders, for national security, which brings about patriotism. This encouraged me to enlist and serve my country with pride and honor.It was these life enhancing experiences that shaped my mental and spiritual inner being.It is my sincere hope that as you read these poems you might enter into my world through the power of words, from pen and paper, that will fill your heart and mind and allow you to share in the joys of what the Lord has shown me.Richard Thomas Oberlin

  Here is a father who loves his daughter. You can tell from the way he held her when she was born after a difficult delivery; you can tell from the way he dances with her to her favourite songs; you can tell from the way he will do anything to protect her.
  He's not going to apologise for every other little thing he's ever done. Who knows, you might have done them too…
  Told with unsettling charm, Daughter is a darkly satirical monologue about fatherhood, love and toxic masculinity, by Canadian playwright and performer Adam Lazarus.
  Daughter received its UK premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018, where it became one of the most talked about shows at the festival, before transferring to Battersea Arts Centre, London, in 2020.
  This edition contains the complete text of the play alongside an introduction by the author and essays about the impact of the play and the issues it raises.

  'Magnetic. The audience are unsure whether to give a standing ovation or stage a walk-out' - Guardian
  'Electrifying. A timely portrait of everyday misogyny hiding in plain sight' - Herald

  One night in a small town in County Cork, where everyone knows everyone, things spiral terrifyingly out of control. What will happen now to Emma? To her family? To the others?
  This stage adaptation of Louise O'Neill's devastating novel, Asking for It, shines an unflinching light on the experience of a young woman whose life is changed for ever by a horrific act of violence.
  Adapted by Meadhbh McHugh, in collaboration with its director Annabelle Comyn, the play premiered at the Everyman, Cork, in June 2018, before transferring to the Abbey Theatre, Dublin. It was produced by Landmark Productions and the Everyman, in association with the Abbey Theatre.
  'A genuinely heartbreaking, sickening and truthful examination of society's penchant for victim-blaming, its treatment of women and the concept of rape culture' - Guardian on Louise O'Neill's novel
  'With a script by Meadhbh McHugh that is sharp and also very funny, Asking for It not only stays faithful to the novel, it goes further, raising it up to heaven and down to hell, too. It is worth the hype' - Irish Independent
  'Powerful, provocative, hard-hitting, shocking… a sharply observed and at times wincingly true-to-life portrayal of a family and its disintegration… funny, infuriating and unbearably sad' -
  Irish Examiner

  Much Ado About Nothing

  William Shakespeare

  • 0

  Much Ado about Nothing is generally considered one of Shakespeare's best comedies, because it combines elements of robust hilarity with more serious meditations on honor, shame, and court politics.
  
  The play includes two quite different stories of romantic love. Hero and Claudio fall in love almost at first sight, but an outsider, Don John, strikes out at their happiness. Beatrice and Benedick are kept apart by pride and mutual antagonism until others decide to play Cupid.
  An Author's Republic audio production.
