  Francis Ledwidge - Selected Poems

  Born in poverty in Slane, County Meath, Ledwidge worked as a farm hand, copper miner and road labourer. In his twenties he would become a rising star in the Irish literary scene, although he lived only to see one collection of his verse in print, receiving his author's copy while freezing and on starvation rations in Serbia. Although a staunch Irish Nationalist, he chose to fight in the First World War, where he died just short of his thirtieth birthday – in the inhuman nightmare that was the Third Battle of Ypres.
  This selection of Francis Ledwidge's poems, edited by Dermot Bolger, celebrates a remarkably gifted poet who, one hundred years after his tragic death in Ypres, is perhaps best known for the poetic brilliance of much of his work as well as the circumstances of his death. Introduced by Seamus Heaney and with an extended afterword by Dermot Bolger, this volume captures the depth and lyric grace of Ledwidge's finest poems and conjures a moving portrait of an eventful life cut tragically short.

  The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who in three distinct and significant life events feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been…a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman; a Resurrected Woman! Additionally, this beautifully written and beautifully designed memoir allows the reader to find connections in some of the poems through Personal Reflection opportunities if desired. 
  Rosebud spent all of her younger years, from birth to undergraduate school in Florida. Since then she has resided in Charlotte, North Carolina where she and her husband raised three children and established enriching careers.Due to diabetic issues in her mid-50’s, Rosebud permanently lost her sight, but did not lose her will and determination to continue her zest for living.  Rosebud has said many times, “God has given me several talents and gifts, and blindness will not restrict me from using them.”  As proof of this belief, Rosebud Turner wrote her first and second children’s books “Through Talen’s Eyes” as well as her memoir “The Other Woman” after sight loss.

  Two unflinching plays from exciting new writer and performer, Izzy Tennyson.
  Grotty is a dark and savage exploration of the London lesbian scene. A couple of little sad old basements that drip with sweat and piss, with second-hand noise pulsating from some gay-boy night upstairs. The women sit there in their uniformed black… and they are looking at you. They are not nice girls. But Grotty is not a nice story.
  The piece was premiered by Damsel Productions at The Bunker, London, in May 2018.
  Solo show Brute tells the true story of a rather twisted schoolgirl. Poppy's just started at an all-girls state school in a provincial English town, where there are rules with no logic, sadistic jokes that aren't actually funny, and the most sinister games played out of boredom.
  Brute won the 2015 IdeasTap Underbelly Award, had a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and transferred to Soho Theatre with Damsel Productions in 2016.
