So begins a new battle of filth.This raucous, filthy—and essential!—volume in John Waters’s oeuvre never made it to the screen, so this is listeners’ and his legions of fans’ one chance to hear how this ghastly and irreverent saga meets its end!A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

  Pieces of a Broken Mind is the raw and honest portrayal of Richard Bryght, a struggling Seattle writer with dreams too big for a single lifetime—navigating love, loss, and the pursuit of artistic fulfillment. Haunted by a past relationship and his mother's mental decline into Alzheimer's. Then, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises—to turn his self-published book into a movie. Richard embarks on a transformative leap of faith, with his best friend Danny by his side and his mother's blessings, leaving Seattle behind to move to the City of Angels and chase his dreams.This gritty story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of fame and the creative process in a new city filled with distractions. Through Richard's eyes, we experience a broken and beautiful world where contradictions and paradoxes intertwine. As Richard struggles with the pressures of success and battles his inner demons—he finds himself lost in a sea of self-destruction, searching for solace in drugs and casual relationships with adult film stars.Beyond being a captivating story, Pieces of a Broken Mind serves as a love letter to Los Angeles, the pursuit of dreams, the written word, and the resilience to never give up. It's a reminder that no matter how broken we may feel, we all have the ability to pick up the pieces and create something beautiful.

  A poetry anthology inspired by passion, travel and love. 
  there was presence in the stillness, 
  and stillness in a constant state of transience 
  where inner and outer worlds were shaped and traced 
  by the fading echoes of a single breath left behind; 
  a memoir of moments lingering far and wide 
  mementos hiding in plain sight 
  laying await for the next, 
  new you to find 
  - 
  love letters to places...

  Entrenched in her picturesque Devonshire village, Ivy Tiller is preparing to wage a war.
  Her target: the invasive grey squirrel. Her goal: to oust the invaders and restore the native red squirrels as the 'rightful' inhabitants. Galvanised by her important mission, Ivy's determination swells to uncomfortable heights.
  Bea Roberts' blackly comic play Ivy Tiller: Vicar's Daughter, Squirrel Killer challenges our assumptions about who belongs and who thrives, and exposes the dark side of the rural idyll. It was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, in October 2022.

  '[Mike Bartlett] is one of the prime movers in a new golden generation of British playwrights' Independent

  'Laugh-out-loud funny... the mashup of Restoration cadences and modern argot is spot on' - Evening Standard
  'Extremely funny... Bartlett's writing is always clever and lively, and he hits his targets' - WhatsOnStage
