Sinopse

'After thousands of years, I have a mouth… So if you don't mind, Mum, Dad, I'm going to speak. I'm going to shout. When I become a human I'm going to use some words. Can you still hear me? Is my microphone on?'
Young people have inherited a burning world. In Jordan Tannahill's urgent and lyrical play, they reckon with the generations who have come before them, questioning the choices that have been made, and the ones that they will yet be forced to make.
In Is My Microphone On? an ensemble of young performers hold the audience to account, and invite them to experience the world together anew.
The play was commissioned by the Theater der Welt festival in Germany, premiered in English by Canadian Stage, Toronto, in 2021, and performed by youth theatres across the UK as part of the 2023 National Theatre Connections Festival. It offers opportunities for a large, flexible cast of any size or mix of genders, and can incorporate chorus work, movement and music.

Unmeaningable welcomes you to the freak show, where the monster on display is a culture that stigmatizes sickness and a system that shames the sufferer. Behold the wonder of the ages, a human mind in a human body, dissected and displayed for entertainment. Witness the ritual of surgical sacrifice! Observe the indignity of institutionalization! Be astounded by the indifference of ableism and ignorance! This uncanny collection of “crippled” sonnets features a thrilling display of cannibals, chimeras, and the crucial question: What meaning can be made of a life lived in pain and isolation?

'I like having things. I like having lots of things. It reminds me that I'm... Y'know? A person.'
Alice is done with fast fashion. Ben can't stop buying trainers. And Charlie just wants to sell out… one organ at a time.
Billie Collins's play Peak Stuff is a fast-paced, funny, fearless deep-dive into consumer culture. In an age of retail therapy, climate crisis and click and collect - how does our 'stuff' define us? And have we reached peak stuff?
The play was commissioned by ThickSkin and Lawrence Batley Theatre, was a winner of the New Play Commission Scheme, and was first presented on tour of the UK in 2024.

Quirky but connected, All Appears Ordinary invites us to look again at the day-to-day aspects of our lives. Big themes of relationships, the environment and childhood are handled lightly, maintaining a pervasive hopefulness. These poems are fearless in their desire to face everything wrong in the world and still say, 'Let me love this existence a little while longer'.
Extraordinary and illuminating, Freya Bantiff's All Appears Ordinary is a winner of the 2023 New Poets' Prize.

Inspired by the positive reaction to our earlier bilingual Welsh/English poetry anthology about a Welsh road, A470 Poems for the Road/Cerddi'r Ffordd; we expanded our scope to Welsh rivers - any of them. with over 600 to choose from this proved a rich seam of invention for our Welsh poets, and a wide geographical range within Wales too. Our poets range from novices to luminaries of the Welsh Poetry scene. The outcome - 50 poems in their original language, whether that was English or Welsh, next to a translation, celebrating everything about Welsh rivers, from source to estuary, fresh and clean or culverted and polluted, childhood memory to recent flooding.

I am divine, 
sitting upon my throne, 
time’s pedestal, 
waiting – baiting. 
My venomous tales 
tear at life’s seams, 
desecrating freedom. 
Your illusions awaken. 
Your eyes grace my design. 
I am madness. 
Journey into the shadows of the soul, where darkness and light intertwine in a dance of raw emotion and profound revelation. Divine Madness: A Dark Poetry Collection beckons you into the depths of the human psyche, inviting you to explore the turbulent landscapes of the mind and embrace the haunting allure of poetic madness.
