  A tender and funny tale about our secret selves, No Romance is a play about our search for connection in a fractured world. It received the Stewart Parker Trust Award in 2012.
  Laura has a secret. Joe's has been revealed. Peg's been keeping hers for years.
  Rich with the absurdities, hypocrisies and vulnerabilities that course through our lives, Nancy Harris's No Romance playfully observes the longings, fears and desires we reveal - and don't reveal - in our closest relationships.
  No Romance was first staged at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2011.
  'Great comedy, keen sympathy and lingering poignancy... Harris's writing is bracingly witty, alert and incisive' - Irish Times
  'It's safe to say that we are witnessing the emergence of a major talent... extraordinarily sure-footed writing and a depth of compassion and sly humour that bond into a dazzling debut' - Sunday Independent, Ireland
  'Poignant, tragic and laugh out loud funny... Strong new writing like this breathes fresh life into Irish theatre' - Irish Post

  The Raven, by Edgar Alan Poe, is one of the most famous poems ever written. First published in 1845, it was soon reprinted, illustrated, emulated, becoming one of the icons of American literature and giving its author immediate and lasting fame. Its popularity is represented in this collection, that brings together the original poem and a series of translations by various translators, who tried to bring the musicality, theme and atmosphere of "The Raven" to their native languages.

  How Love is Spelt (NHB Modern...

  Peta is new in town and ready for whatever London has to throw at her. She's looking for romance, for friendship, for exciting people to lead her on big adventures. But being an independent woman in the new millennium isn't easy, especially when there's a constant reminder of the life you're trying to escape.
  With each new encounter, Peta flirts with what might have been, but has the journey to London put enough distance between her and her past?
  Chloë Moss's play How Love Is Spelt is a fascinating and funny play, which premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2004. It was revived by Brickdust and Project One at Southwark Playhouse in 2019.
  'She wanted spontaneity, adventure… I said I can be spontaneous… I just need a little bit of time to plan.'
  'The finest and most assured writing to be found outside the National Theatre this year... a moving and mature study of love, loneliness and the need to define one's identity... One of the year's undoubted highlights' - Evening Standard
  'Moss's writing evokes these nocturnal collisions beautifully, using silence as powerfully as words, and brittle comedy as deftly as tremendous sadness' - Guardian
  'A remarkably assured new talent. I can't remember a play in recent years that so adroitly captured the difficulty of being young and alone in the capital or did so with such refreshing humour...There's nothing loud or brash about this drama of youthful disillusion, but it's well worth shouting about' - Daily Telegraph
