  A rich and thought-provoking blend of comedy and drama, The Merchant of Venice is one of William Shakespeare's most complex and compelling plays. Set in the vibrant trading world of Renaissance Venice, the story weaves together themes of mercy and justice, love and loyalty, prejudice and forgiveness.
  
  At the center of the play is Antonio, a Venetian merchant whose fortunes are tied to ships sailing distant seas. When his dear friend Bassanio seeks financial help to court the wealthy heiress Portia, Antonio agrees to secure a loan on his behalf. The money comes from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender who harbors deep resentment toward Antonio. As collateral, Shylock demands a shocking bond: if the loan is not repaid on time, he may claim a pound of Antonio's flesh.
  
  While Bassanio travels to Belmont to win Portia's hand through a test of character and wisdom, Antonio's ships are reported lost, placing him at the mercy of Shylock's unforgiving contract. What follows is one of the most famous courtroom scenes in literature—a tense confrontation where the meaning of justice, mercy, and humanity is fiercely debated.
  
  Through its vivid characters and powerful dialogue, The Merchant of Venice explores enduring moral questions. The play examines the consequences of vengeance, the complexities of religious and cultural conflict, and the transformative power of compassion. Portia's intelligence and courage stand at the heart of the resolution, offering a plea for mercy that resonates far beyond the confines of the stage.
  
  Balancing romance, wit, and high drama, Shakespeare creates a story that challenges audiences to reflect on fairness, tolerance, and the price of rigid justice. Both entertaining and provocative, The Merchant of Venice remains a cornerstone of world literature—a work that continues to spark discussion and interpretation across generations.
  
  Layered, dramatic, and emotionally charged, this timeless play endures as a powerful exploration of human motives and moral choice in a world shaped by commerce, law, and love.

  'We should've seen this coming. We did. We did see this coming. The world will not be kind to us because we haven't given it a reason to be.'
  On his fifteenth birthday, Noble transforms into a bird. Thousands of miles away, his sister Cleo is stationed on a remote island with the British Antarctic Survey.
  But the birds have disappeared and Noble needs to reach her. Lying low until it's safe to take flight, he finds solace in misfit Ellis, while his mum desperately tries to stop their home from falling apart.
  The world turns. Dark clouds gather. Chaos is on the horizon...
  Billie Collins's play Too Much World at Once is an urgent coming-of-age story for our times – and a lyrical, theatrical journey that spans continents and lives. It was premiered at HOME, Manchester, in March 2023 by Box of Tricks Theatre before a UK tour.

  Transcendence

  What lies behind this sunlit world?…Something too deep for thought,…Open only to prayer.
   
  These poems reflect moments when one experiences something more than what one  sees and hears, feelings of the sublime, the holy, the transcendent.
   
  …When meditating by a Wiltshire stream, or walking alone through an African forest, observed by a thousand unseen eyes and ears, from giant cats to tremulous snakes.
   
  …Feelings of going beyond oneself, beyond anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, losing oneself in the great chain of being.
   
  …The healing experience of being part of nature, losing the fear of death.
   
  From  intimations of transcendence in nature, this book moves on to the magic of ancient churches where so many have offered up their sorrows and joys and then to meditations and prayers, as well as the consolations offered by ancient rituals, by the rhythm of the church’s seasons, from the magic of Christmas through the penitence of Lent to the glories of Easter.
   
  The final section explores the tragic lockdowns caused by Covid-19.
