A-Typical Rainbow

JJ Green

Sinossi

'I can change colours of objects by looking at them, hear the symphonies of household simplicities, taste the emotions in a room like sweet or bitter wine, and feel life's every heartbeat breaking through my ribcage in glorious technicolour. Just don't ask me to make eye contact.'
An imaginative child's glorious fantasies – of dolphins and dragonflies, gingerbread houses and chocolate rivers – offer him an escape from hostile reality.
When reality dictates he has to conform to the 'real world', he has to make a choice. Should he live authentically and risk stigma, or can he continue to hide?
Based on real events from the perspective of the writer and the autistic community, JJ Green's A-Typical Rainbow is an uplifting play about the experience of growing up neurodivergent and queer in early 2000s Britain.
It premiered at London's Turbine Theatre in June 2022, produced by Aria Entertainment, directed by Bronagh Lagan, and starring playwright JJ Green, who is a passionate advocate for autistic artists like himself.
This edition includes the full text of the play along with contributions from the largely – and proudly – neurodivergent cast and creative team.

His Compass

Con Riley

Tom has one rule: don't sleep with the crew. A second chance with a younger, gorgeous deckhand tempts him to break it. 
 
 
 
After a busy season as a charter-hire skipper, Tom yearns for some downtime. His lonely heart also aches for adventure with someone special, but paying his bills has to come first. A surprise sailing contract and huge bonus offer his first glimpse of freedom for years. There's only one catch: he must crew with Nick, a deckhand who jumped ship once already. 
 
 
 
Nick's as young and untested as the new yacht they're contracted to sail, and he's just as gorgeous. Forced to spend a month as Nick's captain, Tom discovers depths he hadn't noticed. He's captivated, and happier sailing with Nick than he's been in forever. However, their voyage is finite, and both men keep soul-deep secrets. 
 
 
 
As the contract draws to an end, they must get honest about what's in their hearts if they want to share a life at sea, and love, forever.
