J.M. Barrie

Sinossi

'All children grow up, except one.'
Chasing his runaway shadow, a mischievous young boy who will never grow up crash lands through an open window and meets a headstrong young girl who is desperate to be an adult.
With a sprinkle of fairy dust, they take flight on a whirlwind voyage over pirate ships, through mermaid lagoons and into the heart of Neverland.

Barrie's perennial favourite, this enchanting new version by Evan Placey, with songs by Vikki Stone, premiered in 2023 at Rose Theatre, Kingston upon Thames, directed by Lucy Morrell.

The Merchant of Venice

William Shakespeare

Antonio, a wealthy and popular merchant, is in financial difficulty. He approaches a Jewish money lender, Shylock, who agrees to provide 3000 ducats, with a very curious bond – a pound of the merchant’s flesh, to be levied if Antonio fails to make a timely repayment. Feeling confident that his argosies will arrive in time to cover the debt, Antonio agrees to this bizarre transaction.
Meanwhile, a wealthy gentlewoman, Portia, must choose a suitor using a curious ritual mandated by her father’s will. Applicants must choose from three locked caskets, one of which contains a picture of Portia. He who chooses the casket with the picture will wed Portia immediately; the unsuccessful applicants will cease courting not only Portia, but all prospective partners. Portia’s preferred suitor is a young Venetian, Bassanio, who is a close friend of Antonio.
Antonio’s ships fail to arrive in time to satisfy his debt to Shylock and Antonio is hauled into court. In a male disguise, Portia appears in court to represent Antonio. Will her skillful representation free Antonio from Shylock’s demands?
Written between 1596 and 1598 and published in 1600, The Merchant of Venice most notably touches on the troubling subject of antisemitism. While critical debate rages about Shakespeare’s actual attitudes toward Jewish culture, it is difficult to deny that the eventual fate of Shylock is not in accord with today’s view of social justice.
Featuring the voices of Denis Daly, Catherina Bilson, Alexandra Lee Smith, Gary D. Macfadden, Blaise Doran, Graham Scott, Roberta Jackson, Josh Innerst, Simon Paxton, Alan Weyman, Emma Faye and Marty Krz.

The Madman

Kahlil Gibran

The Madman: His Parables and Poems by Kahlil Gibran is a collection of symbolic parables and poetic prose that explores the deeper truths of human identity, freedom, and self-expression. Written in a bold and imaginative voice, the book presents the figure of the “madman” as one who sees beyond social masks and conventions, speaking truths that ordinary reason often hides. Through irony, allegory, and spiritual insight, Gibran reflects on love, pain, joy, faith, and the nature of the self. Both provocative and contemplative, The Madman invites readers to question appearances, shed false identities, and discover a more authentic inner life.

Celestial Fragments - On light...

Javier García Sánchez

Celestial Fragments is an audio and ebook collection of poems by artist Javier García Sánchez, recorded and edited by Emmy-winning storyteller Nil Tiberi.  
A collection of poetic meditations born in the in-between places—between longing and letting go, breaking and becoming, the personal and the divine.  
Written over years of inner transformation, these fragments arrived like visitors: notes from dreams, lines whispered in temples, reflections from seasons when life fell apart and re-formed in unexpected ways. Each piece is a small offering, a reminder that we are always becoming—and that clarity often emerges from the very moments we resist.  
These poems are prayers, thresholds, mirrors. For anyone seeking meaning, healing, or a hand to hold in the dark, Celestial Fragments invites you to find the sacred woven through the ordinary.

This is Living

Liam Borrett

'You weren't moving. Your hair was soaked. We saw you.'
Alice and Michael met six years ago. Three years later their daughter Lily was born. Now, in a Yorkshire meadow, just past midnight, they're having an argument. Because Alice is cold, she's tired, and Michael won't stop telling her that she died twelve hours ago.
A poignant exploration of what it means to say goodbye, Liam Borrett's play This is Living was first performed in a critically acclaimed and award-winning production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014. It had its London premiere at Trafalgar Studios, in 2016.
