    In the scintillating underworld of Miami, Zeus rules with an iron fist. As the formidable leader of the Family of God (F.O.G.), his ambitions stretch far beyond the city's glittering lights, aiming to monopolize both the United States and the Caribbean. 
    But Zeus's reign isn't just about power—it's about style, elegance, and high-stakes sophistication. 
    By his side is Destiny, his girlfriend and lover, whose beauty and cunning are matched only by her loyalty to Zeus. Together, they navigate a world where every move is a calculated risk, and every relationship is a fragile alliance. 
    Their lives are a mix of high fashion and deadly deals, blending the art of luxury with the ruthlessness of their operations. 
    Standing as Zeus's unwavering right hand is his best friend, Reel.  
    His loyalty to Zeus is unshakeable, forged through years of shared victories and narrow escapes. 
    Zeus is the tactical mastermind, the silent force behind F.O.G.'s most daring exploits. 
     His strategic brilliance and unflinching resolve make him an indispensable pillar in the F.O.G. empire, always ready to dive into the fray and turn the tide in their favor. 
    As the F.O.G. expands its influence, threats loom on the horizon. Rivals challenge their authority, and law enforcement inches closer, driven by a relentless desire to dismantle their empire. 
    The stakes are perilously high, and as love and loyalty are tested, Zeus and Destiny must use every ounce of their wit and charm to stay ahead. 
    "Gods of Miami" is a dazzling tale of power, seduction, and ambition, set in a city that is as dangerous as it is beautiful. 
    In this world, the boundaries between elegance and evil blur, and only the most cunning will rise to divine h 
    eights.

    M is a writer. M is a mother. M is a woman.
    The triumph of M's hit play is hijacked by motherhood. She is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.
    She wants to tell her story, her way. But everyone keeps giving her their opinions on who she is, who she ought to be, and how she's fucking everything up.
    Fiercely funny and brutally honest, Jane Upton's play (the) Woman shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth and what happens when a woman dares to question the definition of (her)self. It was shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and first performed by New Perspectives on tour of the UK in 2025.

In this story, a man (Edward) is afforded a place to stay in exchange for doing chores around the house.  However, his landlord (Mr. Graves), a friendly and gracious old man, has one characteristic which drives Edward to the brink of madness; a pale blue eye.  Eventually, Edward decides that he can't take the eye any longer, and despite his generally cordial relationship with Mr. Graves, is determined to kill him, thus ridding himself of the eye forever.  Come with us as we descend into madness with this original adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's: The Tell-Tale Heart.Cast:Jason Markiewitz as Edward Valentine, Officer Kent, Officer WallaceBrennan Villados as Mr. Graves, Sgt O'TooleLia Rose as Homeless Woman in the BarnMusic by: Hayden FolkerCover Art by: Jon MarkiewitzScript by: Jason MarkiewitzDirected by: Jason Markiewitz

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore those playwrights who within a few lines could turn and express their words as very distinguished verse and so become as known for poetry as were for their plays.

    'One day this will work. One day we will gift two honest, decent, trusting volunteers a baby. I know this more than anything else in the world. I know it in my soul. We will do that.'
    In 1978, three pioneering doctors changed the world of fertility as we know it. Supported by an army of immensely brave women from all over the UK, Patrick Steptoe, Robert Edwards and Jean Purdy achieved the impossible: they created human life in vitro.
    Faced with fierce criticism and hostility, and hounded by the media for 'playing God', trials had to be kept largely under wraps. But the trio's determination to give hope to the thousands of families struggling to conceive eventually led to the first 'test-tube baby' and the creation of IVF, a procedure which has since supported the birth of over twelve million babies worldwide.
    Gareth Farr's play A Child of Science is a fictionalised account of this true story of ambition and courage, based on extensive research and interviews with embryologists and fertility doctors, as well as those affected by and enabled by IVF. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2024, directed by Matthew Dunster.
