    "Beowulf", a sprawling, fantastical tale of bravery, heroism, and Anglo-Saxon heraldry, is the most celebrated epic poem in the English language.  The story of the great Geatish fighter Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the beleagued Hrothgar and his men, this poem relates three epic battles: Beowulf's fight with the monster Grendel, his face-off with Grendel's vengeful mother and, after serving as King for 50 years, Beowulf's fateful clash with a fire-breathing dragon.  Francis B. Gummere's translation of this ancient text has been hailed for over a century and is here brought back to life with a summary of the poem by the English scholar Dr. J.L. Hall.

    They were happy once and everything was perfect. A man and a woman and a little girl. Lots of money and an American dream life. Jake was an actor, Jane was a nurse, and Sara, their little girl, was nothing short of perfect. For years, they were a happy family, until reality came crashing down. 
    Jake tried his best to raise Sara after her mother left; but she was destined to fall into her mother’s footsteps and follow her way of life. 
    You never realize how much you have, until it is gone. 
    Jake tries to move on, after they left him; but finds it impossible to see the sunshine any more. 
    Listen as Jake recounts his best memories with the girls and tries his hardest to have a second chance at their life together. But is it too late, and has it been too long? 
    Others think he’s crazy for trying to relive a memory; but he has never let go of the life and love they wants shared. 
    This story speaks to anyone who has ever loved, and lost, in many different ways. 
    Are you crazy to not let go; even years later? Does Jake realize that he can never have it back, that they have left for good or will he continue to try, all while being alone?

    This Must Be the Place is a play comprising two short ballads about migration, missed connections, and life on the edge of respectability.
    Two friends, fugitives from their problems, try and start again in the big smoke but find themselves waiting on the margins still. A man in the midst of crisis tries for a clean break from technology, connectivity and the pressures of city life.
    Brad Birch and Kenny Emson's This Must Be the Place was first performed at Latitude Festival in July 2016, before transferring to the 2017 VAULT Festival, London, where it was named Show of the Year.
    'A very modern tale of very modern detachment, written with humour and vigour... observant, angry, compelling, oh, and it's funny too. Very funny.' - LondonTheatre1
    'A dynamic piece of new writing… freshly biting and crisply unsentimental' - Exeunt Magazine

    Patricia has spent a year recovering from an abusive relationship. But when she bumps into her ex on the street, she accidentally agrees to go to dinner with him that night.
    Now she's got some big decisions to make. What to wear? What to say? And... whether or not to go?
    Martha Watson Allpress's Patricia Gets Ready (for a date with the man that used to hit her) is a play for one actor that was first seen at VAULT Festival 2020, directed by Kaleya Baxe and performed by Angelina Chudi, then at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2021, winning numerous awards and receiving rave reviews. It was revived on a UK tour in 2022, performed by Yasmin Dawes, including a run at Brixton House, London.
    'The standout production of this EdFringe' - The Stage
    'Brilliant... A script that refuses to simplify, to be neat and tidy, to apologise, to paint Patricia as just a victim. Rather, she is bold, funny (very funny) and sexually confident' - Guardian
