  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

  Little Baby Jesus & Estate Walls...

  Arinzé Kene

  Two plays, both set in contemporary inner-city London, showcasing the remarkable poetic and theatrical imagination of writer/performer Arinzé Kene.
  Little Baby Jesus is a lyrical triptych of three intertwining, colliding monologues about the life-changing moments when three young people 'grew up'. Joanne is dipped in rudeness, rolled in attitude and is fighting to keep her life afloat. Sensitive and mature he may be, yet Kehinde struggles with an obsession for mixed-race girls as he eyes his place on the social ladder. Rugrat is the class clown and playground loudmouth, and just wants to make it past GCSEs.
  Estate Walls is the story of Obi, a young writer who dreams of leaving his estate, but with bad boys Myles and Cain for best friends, there are bound to be setbacks…
  Both plays premiered at Ovalhouse Theatre in south London, directed by Ché Walker, with Estate Walls winning Arinzé the Most Promising Playwright at the Offies (Off West Theatre Awards) in 2011. Little Baby Jesus was revived at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2019, directed by winner of the JMK Young Director Award Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu.
  'An intense, visceral and vivid portrayal of the often-brutal reality of growing up. It feels starkly authentic and cruel, whilst at times is wildly funny and is all the more appealing for it' - Broadway World on Little Baby Jesus
  'A huge groundswell of hormones, mistakes, loneliness and searching. You feel, emotionally, like you know the story and care about these three teenagers and that is why Arinzé Kene is brilliant' - Time Out on Little Baby Jesus
  'The great joy of the play springs from Kene's sharp-eyed, witty observations and the lyricism of his descriptive writing... moves from hysterically funny to tear-jerkingly moving in an instant, with comedy, harsh reality and allegory fitting together seamlessly... rides the highs and lows of the years of teenage discovery and arrives assuredly at a life affirming destination' - The Reviews Hub on Little Baby Jesus
  'Here is a play that will be racing through you, making you laugh and think, long after you've left the theatre... a genre-defying theatrical hybrid – a thrilling combination of performance poetry, standup comedy and good old-fashioned storytelling' - Guardian on Little Baby Jesus
  'Skips majestically between the epic and urban in a story that would feel as comfortable set against a Grecian palace as it does the grimy city wall of its title... Kene's eclectic dialogue is a pleasure to listen to, jumping from poetic to pithy and back again with remarkable ease' - Theatre Workbook on Estate Walls
  'Witty and intelligent... deftly captures and magnifies the poetry of everyday conversation on an estate' - Soul Culture on Estate Walls

  Summer 1860, an elegant country house, a young boy is found dead in an outside privy. All clues point towards the murderer being a member of the grieving household.
  Called to the scene is the most celebrated detective of his day, Jonathan Whicher from Scotland Yard. But this case challenges him in ways he's never been challenged before.
  Over twenty years later, still haunted by the case, Whicher visits the murderer. As they replay the past, they start to question the nature of truth, the desire for certainty, and the possibility of redemption.
  This compelling stage adaptation of Kate Summerscale's gripping bestseller opened at The Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in May 2023.
  This ensemble piece provides rich opportunities for companies looking to intrigue their audiences with a fresh take on a dark Victorian mystery.
  'A true crime classic turned into a tense drama... ingeniously plotted… Kate Summerscale's Victorian potboiler is deftly condensed in a production that brings out the misogyny and class snobbery of the era' - Guardian
  'Taut and magnetic… Alexandra Wood's bold adaptation turns the book's structure on its head… electric' - The Times
  'An utterly transporting piece of storytelling that will keep you gripped as it carefully carries you towards its conclusion' - Broadway World
  'Powerful… a wonderfully concise retelling and reexamination of the facts… The story unfolds with pleasing clarity' - WhatsOnStage
  'Alexandra Wood's dramatisation for the stage intuitively captures the atmosphere of Summerscale's book… keeps the audience on its toes, piecing together fragments of the case and steering toward a remarkable conclusion… exposes the deep-seated, class-ridden misogyny of the Victorian era' - The Stage

  Much Ado About Nothing

  William Shakespeare

  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.
