Sinopse

In these rich and witty poems, we encounter a gallery of characters, voices and situations in various stages of emotional undress and bewilderment, fretting at just the wrong distance from reality in railway stations, ferries, restaurants, war zones and watery dystopias. They are filmic pieces that announce the arrival of an unusually gifted poet, in a short collection much bigger than its size – entertaining, disturbing and despite the odds curiously life-affirming.
Here, the poet makes the seemingly mundane scenes and interactions extraordinary, with stunning language and unforgettable images. Whether the poet talks about 'My cousin with the sensitive ears / winces as he unbuckles his memory / listens to wallpaper peeling' or a Nativity play where 'Straw lies about as if someone has detonated a scarecrow', the poet showcases remarkable skills in exploring deep, human relationships. – Romalyn Ante, co-judge of the International Book & Pamphlet Competition

"Paradise Lost" by John Milton is an epic poem that delves into the biblical story of the Fall of Man, deftly exploring themes of temptation, sin, and redemption. With majestic language and sweeping imagery, Milton recounts the rebellious uprising of Satan and his angels against God, their subsequent exile to Hell, and Satan's sinister plot leading to the downfall of Adam and Eve in Eden. This monumental work not only illuminates the human condition but also wrestles with questions of free will, divine justice, and the struggle between good and evil.

Saturated with locutions lifted from the late 19th century, The Day-Breakers deeply conceives of what African Canadian soldiers experienced before, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War.
		 
“It is not wise to waste the life / Against a stubborn will. / Yet would we die as some have done. / Beating a way for the rising sun” wrote Arna Bontemps. In The Day-Breakers, poet Michael Fraser imagines the selflessness of Black soldiers who fought for the Union during the American Civil War, of whom hundreds were African-Canadian, fighting for the freedom of their brethren and the dawning of a new day. Brilliantly capturing the rhythms of their voices and the era in which they lived and fought, Fraser’s The Day-Breakers is an homage to their sacrifice and an unforgettable act of reclamation: the restoration of a language, and a powerful new perspective on Black history and experience.

Coburn with MALAPROP Theatre was first staged at the 2017 Dublin Fringe Festival, where it won the Georganne Aldrich Heller Award for a standout Irish artist or company that demonstrates innovation and connects with audiences.

An endearing young man, Drew lands in his life and claims it's all a lie. 
Every moment scripted, every movement monitored, Sage finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy. Trusted allies become potential enemies and he starts to sense that everyone is keeping a bigger secret from him, even Drew. 
He must use his wit to discern friend from foe and to read between the lines of his scripted world before the people in control realize he knows 
in order to break free in  
The 15th of Finality.
