  An old castle, a courageous knight, a beautiful princess, a sacred icon, an evil wizard and two little sparrows: these are some of the exciting things in store for you in Edward Kurtz’s latest magical story entitled, “Knight Adventure.” 
  The fast-paced story is set in medieval times and recounts the quest of the Silver Knight as he attempts to recover the icon that has been stolen from the castle. 
  You’ll be taken on a wild ride and learn: 
  • who stole the icon from the chapel in the castle; 
  • why the princess is suffering from a long illness and what will heal her; 
  • why the king and queen ask the brave knight to undertake a dangerous journey, and what his reward will be if he succeeds in his mission; 
  • who lives in a thatched cottage in the middle of the dark forest; 
  • why the icon is hidden deep in a well, who hid it there, and how it is found; 
  • why the two little brown sparrows are so important to the story and how they help the knight; 
  • and, finally, what happens when the knight returns to the castle. 
  Readers of all ages will enjoy this chivalrous tale of adventure – “Knight Adventure.”

  Featuring new translations of previously untranslated Chinese short stories, Memorandum maps out seven decades of Sinophone Singaporean Literature. From bargirls to student activists, from trishaw men to tea merchants, this collection provides a glimpse into a world that has been previously invisible to Anglophone readers. Paired with critical essays, these stories showcase the richness and diversity of Singapore’s Chinese community, but also its inherent interconnectedness with other cultures within Singapore. 
   
  “Memorandum is a pathbreaking anthology that refracts over half a century of Singapore’s history through its lens. The translated stories do much more than simply bridge Sinophone and Anglophone worlds: they actively cross geographical, cultural, linguistic and class boundaries, causing us to think more deeply about the nature of social power, and the transformative interventions literary texts can make.” 
  -Philip Holden, scholar of Singapore &Southeast Asian literatures

  'I didn't expect it so soon, that's all. It made it seem so final, all our lives, those decisions all irreversible, immortalised in a slideshow to a Coldplay track.'
  Helen is forty when she loses her husband. Her daughter Becca is fifteen when her dad dies. Now it's just the two of them... what do they do next?
  Unfolding through snapshots of a relationship over forty years, Helen explores the threads which bind mother and daughter together, how they damage each other, and how they come to each other's rescue.
  A play for two actors – about love, grief, and getting ashes stuck to your trouser leg – Helen by Maureen Lennon was shortlisted for the 2020 Theatre503 International Playwriting Award. It was first produced at Theatre503, London, in 2023, in a co-production with Terrain, a company dedicated to promoting Northern artists and the stories they tell.
