  Once more the year begins.  The first month of the Gregorian calendar. Cold winds howl, the landscape shivers, frost, snow, ice are the many blankets for the land.  Daylight is thin, it arrives late and leaves early ceding the hours to shadow and the ink of night.

  Helen is forty when she loses her husband. Her daughter Becca is fifteen when her dad dies. Now it's just the two of them… what do they do next?
  Unfolding through snapshots of a relationship over forty years, Helen explores the threads which bind mother and daughter together, how they damage each other, and how they come to each other's rescue.
  A play for two actors – about love, grief, and getting ashes stuck to your trouser leg – Helen by Maureen Lennon was shortlisted for the 2020 Theatre503 International Playwriting Award. It was first produced at Theatre503, London, in 2023, in a co-production with Terrain, a company dedicated to promoting Northern artists and the stories they tell.
  'Powerful… wrenchingly sad… successfully captures that dislocating out-of-body feeling that can accompany profound grief, and there are some truthful moments of humour and tenderness, too' - The Stage
  'Feels real… the dialogue is strong and natural… poignant with touches of humour' - Reviews Hub
  'Brisk, intense and with a strong emotional hit' - London Pub Theatres
  'A deeply poignant and profound look at how grief can impact a life… beautifully written… hugely recommended' - There Ought To Be Clowns

  An old castle, a courageous knight, a beautiful princess, a sacred icon, an evil wizard and two little sparrows: these are some of the exciting things in store for you in Edward Kurtz’s latest magical story entitled, “Knight Adventure.” 
  The fast-paced story is set in medieval times and recounts the quest of the Silver Knight as he attempts to recover the icon that has been stolen from the castle. 
  You’ll be taken on a wild ride and learn: 
  • who stole the icon from the chapel in the castle; 
  • why the princess is suffering from a long illness and what will heal her; 
  • why the king and queen ask the brave knight to undertake a dangerous journey, and what his reward will be if he succeeds in his mission; 
  • who lives in a thatched cottage in the middle of the dark forest; 
  • why the icon is hidden deep in a well, who hid it there, and how it is found; 
  • why the two little brown sparrows are so important to the story and how they help the knight; 
  • and, finally, what happens when the knight returns to the castle. 
  Readers of all ages will enjoy this chivalrous tale of adventure – “Knight Adventure.” 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  In the Downing Street Press Office an emergency meeting has been called. The Prime Minister has been ad-libbing on live TV (again) and his words are going viral.
  There is a flurry of accusations, and demands for an apology; but as his team debate what to do next, it's already too late. His words have found their way to dinner parties, bus journeys and newspaper columns across the nation – and not everyone is angry.
  Rabiah Hussain's play Word-Play explores how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far-reaching consequences that will last for generations. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London, in July 2023, directed by Nimmo Ismail.
