Eclipse

John Morton

Sinossi

'It's hard to imagine things getting back to normal after this though. I don't suppose they do from now on, not really.' 
In the kitchen of an old Devon rectory, the daughter who stayed and the son who moved away make conversation with their current and former partners, the milkman, the postman, the care workers. They talk about the weather, the roads, the toaster, the bins. About anything except the simmering tensions between them, as their father lies mortally ill in the next room.
Until the unspoken emotions and conflicts of years boil over.
Eclipse is a painfully funny, acute and delicate play about our struggle to communicate, in the face of life and of death – and our infinite capacity for drinking tea. It was first performed in the Minerva Theatre at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2026, written and directed by John Morton.

Mrs Warren's Profession

Bernard Shaw

'I am my mother's daughter. I am like you. But my work is not your work, and my way is not your way.'
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky and a good detective story, and is determined to carve herself a sparkling legal career in an age ruled by men.
Her mother, however, is a part of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter's expensive education – but at what cost?
Bernard Shaw's incendiary moral classic was written in 1893, but, after being banned by the Lord Chamberlain, didn't receive a full public production in London until 1925. This version of the play, edited and introduced by director Dominic Cooke, was produced at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in 2025, starring real-life mother and daughter Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter.

Zion and Me

Peter Brinch

'Zion' is an imaginary place of peace, happiness, and victory. It has been my life's ambition and pursuit. It has been a dream. An unattainable dream. Since Adam bit the poison apple in the Garden of Eden, mankind has been under a curse – to work at the sweat of his brow for his bread. This causes all of humanity to moan in existential pain. We long for meaning and for love. Originally, 'Zion' was the hill in Jerusalem upon which Solomon built his temple. Zion since then, has come to mean the holy city. Zion is the party, should there ever be one after the defeat of evil in the apocalypse. To me, it is something to hope for, to strive for. However, as life's problems obstruct the attainment of such a state, we begin to sink into complacency and misery. There's poverty, heartbreak, and people who want to put you in a cage. After all that - you die. Zion and Me is divided into three parts. 'Haphazard Lines' is mostly Biblical as I had recently converted to Christianity, and includes some speculation on the divine. 'This Lovely Day' is more secular and reflects again on life's melancholia among other lessons to be learned. Finally, 'Love Poems' is self-explanatory and concerns various concepts related to love like longing and sadness. Zion and Me is an attempt to explain the ambiguity that goes with the necessity of discovering life's secrets and to gain insight and wisdom.

Laughing Boy - (stage version)

Stephen Unwin

'So much magic. So much love. So much laughter. So much work. So much rage. And so many tears.'
Connor is, well, Connor. He loves buses, Eddie Stobart and Lego. He also has learning disabilities. When he dies an entirely preventable death in NHS care, his mum, Sara, can't get a straight answer as to how it happened.
But Sara and her family won't stop asking questions and soon an extraordinary campaign emerges. Demanding the truth, it uncovers a scandal of neglect and indifference that goes beyond Connor's death to thousands of others.
Sara Ryan's impassioned, frank and surprisingly funny memoir Justice for Laughing Boy is adapted for the stage by Stephen Unwin. It was first performed at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in 2024, in a co-production with Theatre Royal Bath.

Burritt's Rapids and Beyond

Louis Contant, Wilma Brown

n BURRITT’S RAPIDS AND BEYOND, “whatever flows, remains.” From Winnipeg, Vancouver, Montreal, and rural Ontario, Louis Contant considers his place in the world. Fireflies, whip-poor-wills, squirrels, dragonflies, waterfalls, and the soulful notes of a sonata drift through these meditations on nature, spirituality, writing, love, family, friendship, and music. Louis’ poems inhabit sorrow and suffering yet are rich with praise, delighting in the comforts and joys of ritual and routine alongside brevity and ephemera. Whether considering the “alpine range” of Auden’s contributions to literature, the solitude of the poet, the “molded contours” of friendship, the possibility of life on other planets, or the cedar cottage sweetness of home, Louis reminds us that “what really matters is happening all the time / without us.” 
With humour, wit, and humbleness, Louis confronts his own mortality and celebrates human connection in an age of technology and social unrest. Playful rhymes and uncompromising narratives are accompanied by the poet’s feisty resilience and tuneful undercurrents of grace. 
Published posthumously, and compiled and contextualized by the poet’s wife, Wilma Brown, Burritt’s Rapids and Beyond showcases and pays tribute to the life of one wise and curious man. At its heart, this book asks what it means to truly belong to this world, to live in it with pleasure and reverence, trying not to step on any wildflowers.

The Alchemist

Ben Jonson

Ben Jonson's The Alchemist is a brilliant and biting comedy that stands as one of the finest achievements of Renaissance drama. First performed in 1610, this masterful play delivers a sharp satire of human greed, gullibility, and ambition, exposing the absurd lengths to which people will go in pursuit of wealth, power, and hidden knowledge.

Set in London during a time of widespread fear and opportunism, the story unfolds in a house temporarily abandoned by its master. Seizing the opportunity, a clever servant named Face teams up with the cunning Subtle, a self-proclaimed alchemist, and Dol Common, their equally resourceful accomplice. Together, they orchestrate an elaborate scheme to deceive a series of unsuspecting victims, each lured by promises of riches, transformation, or secret wisdom.

As a parade of eccentric characters arrives—each driven by personal desires such as fortune, status, or enlightenment—the trio manipulates their hopes with increasingly outrageous tricks. From promises of turning base metals into gold to offering access to mystical powers, the con artists exploit the vanity and desperation of their clients. What follows is a fast-paced and intricately plotted comedy of deception, where disguises, misunderstandings, and escalating chaos lead to a brilliantly orchestrated climax.

Jonson's genius lies in his keen observation of human nature and his ability to blend humor with moral insight. Through witty dialogue and exaggerated yet recognizable characters, The Alchemist satirizes not only the practice of alchemy but also the broader human tendency toward self-delusion and blind ambition. The play's enduring relevance stems from its exploration of timeless themes—greed, deception, and the folly of misplaced trust.

The Alchemist remains a cornerstone of English literature, celebrated for its clever structure, lively characters, and incisive social commentary. It is a delightful and thought-provoking work that continues to entertain audiences while offering a humorous yet cautionary look at the enduring weaknesses of human nature.
