  'The sky turns the colour of a jay's eye. The sea turns a deep royal purple. The mist lifts in quick, lithe ribbons, like a conjuring trick. Before us lies the island…'
  It's 1935, and an eccentric English family – four children, their widowed mother, and Roger the dog – arrives on the sun-soaked shores of Corfu to start a new life.
  For eleven-year-old Gerry Durrell, the extraordinary landscape provides the perfect playground. Its exotic fauna inspires a life-long fascination with the animal kingdom – and his much-loved memoir My Family and Other Animals.
  Janys Chambers' acclaimed stage adaptation was first seen at York Theatre Royal, and invites other theatre companies to make ingenious and inventive decisions, bringing to life all the inhabitants of Durrell's cherished island – whether they walk and talk, fly and squawk, crawl or swim or slither.

  Transform your acting performance by mastering the authentic German accent. Whether you're preparing for a role or expanding your skillset, learning how to deliver a natural German-accented English can set you apart in auditions and on set. This immersive audio course guides you step by step, helping you sound confident, precise, and believable — without slipping into stereotypes. 
  You'll learn how the German language shapes sound, rhythm, and melody, giving your speech a distinctive yet natural quality. The course breaks down the essential elements of the accent, from crisp consonant shifts to the subtle inflections that make a character feel alive. With carefully designed listening and speaking exercises, you'll train your ear and voice simultaneously, building your skills from the ground up. 
  This method goes beyond surface-level imitation. You'll explore how native German speakers structure their sentences and how those patterns influence the way they speak English. By understanding the accent from the inside out, you'll be able to deliver performances that feel authentic and fully embodied — not just performed. 
  Every lesson is designed with actors in mind, focusing on practical tools that translate directly to your craft. Dialogue drills and practice scripts help you apply what you've learned in context, so you can step into any role with confidence. The flexible audio format fits seamlessly into your routine, letting you practice whenever and wherever you want. 
  With the right training, a German accent becomes more than just a voice — it becomes a doorway into character. Mastering this skill will give you the edge to stand out and bring layered, believable performances to life.

  Glut

  Ramona Herdman's Glut is a lush, entertaining, and bittersweet collection of poems about how we live together and find meaning through rules and rituals around food, family, alcohol, work, nature, sex and love. These vividly-realised, nimble poems probe at the delicate balancing acts we – our bodies and our minds – perform in life: between power and trust, between convention and rebellion, and between what is enough and what is too much.
  All the time, Herdman's spry poetry keeps a gimlet eye on our impulse to make sense of it all – of how we live and work together, and what strategies will help us to navigate our way through the tangled undergrowth of negotiation and misunderstanding. Glut is a lustrous, darkly funny, open-hearted book on the distance between people, on satisfying appetites, and on seeking both pleasure and consolation.

  Mishkât Al-Anwar (The Niche For...

  Al- Ghazzali, WHT Gairdner

  The classic work of Sufi mystical thinking from 1100CE, available in audiobook for the first time. It is also known as A Niche of Lamps. In the middle ages, Sufi scholars reconciled rationality and faith, both of which were ascendant in the empires of the time. This is one of the great philosophical and theological works from that period, and shows another side to Islam than the doctrinaire version that is more commonly spoken of. Al-Ghazali is often called "the proof of Islam" (hujjat al-islam), because he tried to bridge inquiry, legislation and mystical practice. One could call al-Ghazali the prototype Muslim intellectual.This translation was done in 1823 by WHT Gairdner, who also includes a commentary upon the ideas that Al-Ghazzali presents.The Niche of Lights, written near the end of his life, is about the need for balance between the authority of the divine and reason, seeing both as essential to real spiritual development.
