  As You Like It

  William Shakespeare

  “All the world's a stage, 
  And all the men and women merely players; 
  They have their exits and their entrances; 
  And one man in his time plays many parts, 
  His acts being seven ages.” 
  As You Like It follows the lives of men and women who have been banished from their home after ruler, Duke Senior, was usurped by his younger brother. Duke Senior’s companions begin living in the forest outside of the duchy, where they encounter a man named Orlando, who has been secretly in love with the Duke’s daughter Rosalind. 
  Orlando journeys to win Rosalind’s heart, while not knowing where Rosalind actually is in the aftermath of the usurpation. Rosalind, her best friend (who is also the daughter of the Duke’s younger brother), and the court’s jester have also resigned to the forest, but are fully disguised to keep their identities hidden. They encounter interesting characters of all sorts, such as a melancholy man named Jacques, a shepherdess who accidentally falls in love with Rosalind’s male disguise, and many more. 
  Obviously, this play is centered on a cast that keeps secrets, subtly deceives one another, dons disguises of all sorts, and above all else desires to find true love in the forest. This play is well known for the cast of entertaining characters, as well as being the origin of some of Shakespeare’s most well-known passages.

  'You're a wonder. You're a window into a wide world.'
  Scotland, 1504, seen fresh through the eyes of new arrivals Ellen and Anne, two Moorish women who were expected to take their place at a royal court… but not this one.
  Both women now have to fight to find and keep a place in the dazzling, dangerous world of the Scottish court of James IV. It's a world where war is never far away, words of love and promises of peace are not what they seem, and where poets might turn out to be more dangerous than any assassin.
  Rona Munro continues her journey through an uncharted period of Scottish history with James IV: Queen of the Fight, which was first presented in 2022 by Raw Material and Capital Theatres in association with National Theatre of Scotland, and directed by Laurie Sansom.
  It follows the spectacular success of Munro's plays about James I, II and III, which were first performed by National Theatre of Scotland, transferred to the National Theatre, London, and were named Best New Play at the Evening Standard Awards.

  When the British Government turn down a revolutionary weapons system in favour of the new Euro fighter they don't realise the wrath their decision will cause. The only radar system capable of detecting the new Thor's Hammer is the experimental Spyglass system being transported on a cruise liner commanded by ex-Navy Captain Eric Swanson. Martin Westfarland, designer of Thor's Hammer, decides to teach the British Government a lesson by sinking the liner and destroying Spyglass before passing Thor's Hammer onto the Iraqis who plan to use it to deliver a deadly bio-weapon to the west. Through a series of action-filled events, Swanson and Squadron Leader Gerry Denton are brought together to thwart the terrorist attack, while the SAS are assigned to locate and destroy the chemical lab in the Syrian Desert, which created the virus. Unfortunately the virus has already been loaded onto Thor's Hammer. Thus it falls to Denton to fly the Typhoon Euro fighter against the faster and stealthier Thor's Hammer before it can deliver its deadly payload.

  GAZA Today - Would You Turn Your...

  GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. 
  (Harmony-Join Book 4) 
  Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. 
  I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt 
  any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there - truly awful. 
  This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides 
  of the Political spectrum. 
  I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war 
  is horrific. 
  Regardless of who did what to who, and who did it first etc, it should be focused on the humanitarian side 
  in any conflict lest we lose sight of what we maybe fighting for - I think the focus on humanity has been totally 
  lost. 
  Are we to Turn Our Back on these people. The West should push for extreme Sanctions to reign in the seemingly 
  unstoppable gungho aggression of the combatants - There is a Geneva convention you know. 
  It can only mean something if it is enforced... 
  Footnote: This Poem is all about the kids in this conflict. Whose right and whose wrong, shouldn't come into it 
  on the humanitarian field of view.

  Songs of Innocence and Experience is a poetry collection by Blake. It contrasts childhood innocence (joy, wonder) with the harsher realities of adulthood (injustice, disillusionment). Imagine two sides of the same coin: one bright, one shadowed.
