  In the shadowed realm where life and death intertwine, an objective crow perches upon the precipice of existence. Its wings bear the weight of countless souls—both animal and human—whose final breaths echo through the void. 
  He Watched chronicles the crow’s solemn duty: to witness the unraveling of mortal threads. From the gnarled roots of ancient forests to the blood-soaked cobblestones of forgotten alleys, it observes without judgment. The grotesque and the sublime converge in a macabre ballet, each demise etched into the crow’s unyielding gaze. 
  But as the seasons turn and the moon waxes, a twist of fate awaits. The crow, once a silent observer, becomes ensnared in a web of treachery. Captured by unseen hands, it faces its own mortality—a revelation that transcends mere poetry. The boundaries blur, and the crow’s wings ache for flight beyond the ink-stained pages. 
  He Watched is a haunting tapestry woven from verses and prose, where the boundary between life and death dissolves. Prepare to be startled, unsettled, and transformed as you journey alongside the crow—a witness turned protagonist—in this enigmatic tale. 
  The crow’s secrets lie hidden within these verses. Will you dare to decipher them?

  1964: Richard Burton, the firebrand Welsh actor, newly married to movie star Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new production of Hamlet under the exacting direction of John Gielgud.
  But as rehearsals progress, the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. One of them is the most famous movie star in the world; the other, a patrician from an earlier age of theatre. The stage is set for two titans to collide.
  Jack Thorne's The Motive and the Cue is a fierce, funny play which offers a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity. This edition was published alongside the West End transfer in 2023, following its world premiere at the National Theatre, London, earlier that year. Originally commissioned and co-produced by Neal Street Productions, it was directed by Sam Mendes, and starred Johnny Flynn as Burton, Mark Gatiss as Gielgud and Tuppence Middleton as Taylor. It was named Best Play at the 2023 Evening Standard Theatre Awards, and Best New Play at the 2024 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards.

  Liam and Fletch grew up together. Born on the same street. Best mates since primary. Inseparable. The only difference was while Fletch was getting suspended from school, Liam was studying. And now he's going to Oxford. But with Liam gone, who's going to keep Fletch out of trouble?
  Sorry, You're Not a Winner explores aspiration, social mobility and getting caught between classes. It asks: if 'making it' means leaving everything you know and everyone you love behind – what's the point?
  This powerful and striking play by Samuel Bailey was first produced in 2022 by Paines Plough and Theatre Royal Plymouth, in association with the University of Plymouth's School of Society and Culture, before touring nationally.
  'An intricate and moving study of social mobility... gripping and nuanced... Bailey continues his development as one of the most socially engaged writers working in theatre today' - Guardian

  Right of the Soil

  Yong Shu Hoong

  The Latin phrase, jus soli (“right of the soil”), is an unconditional right of a person born within the territory of a country to be conferred citizenship. Singapore’s nationality law is based on jus sanguinis (“right of blood”, in which citizenship is determined by that of one or both parents) and a modified form of jus soli (with at least one Singaporean parent). 
   
  A two-time Singapore Literature Prize winner, Yong Shu Hoong contemplates how a person is invariably bound to the land on which he first sets foot. These poems address topics like belongingness and birthright by exploring the intermingling of the four fundamental elements of air, water, fire and earth. 
   
  Expanded from a 2016 chapbook published a year after the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence, this book also attempts to sharpen Yong’s understanding of his relationship with his homeland. A new sequence of poems then plunges readers into Hell, reimagined as Singapore’s third integrated resort that opens underground in the centennial year of 2065, with its concepts inspired by Haw Par Villa’s main attraction, the 10 Courts of Hell. 
   
  Beyond our earthly lives, is it soil – or another element or dimension – that will assert its right to claim us? 
   
  Shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize for Poetry 2020
