  Twelfth Night

  William Shakespeare

  A sparkling comedy of mistaken identity, romantic entanglements, and playful deception, Twelfth Night is one of William Shakespeare's most delightful and enduring works. Set in the imagined land of Illyria, this lively play blends humor, music, and heartfelt emotion in a story that celebrates love in all its unpredictable forms.
  
  The tale begins with a shipwreck that separates twins Viola and Sebastian. Believing her brother lost at sea, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario in order to serve Duke Orsino. The Duke, consumed by his unreturned affection for the Countess Olivia, sends Cesario to plead his case on his behalf. But the situation quickly grows complicated: Olivia falls in love with Cesario, unaware that he is actually Viola in disguise, while Viola herself secretly develops feelings for Orsino.
  
  As identities blur and affections tangle, the play unfolds in a whirlwind of comic misunderstandings. Alongside the central love triangle, a spirited subplot features the pompous steward Malvolio, who becomes the target of a mischievous prank that tests his vanity and ambition. Through these intersecting stories, Shakespeare creates a vibrant world filled with wit, longing, and joyful chaos.
  
  At its heart, Twelfth Night explores themes of identity, gender roles, desire, and the transformative power of love. The play challenges rigid boundaries between appearance and reality, showing how disguise can both conceal and reveal the truth. Its festive spirit reflects the holiday season for which it is named—a time when conventions are overturned and laughter reigns.
  
  With memorable characters, lyrical dialogue, and sparkling humor, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. It balances lighthearted romance with deeper reflections on longing and self-discovery, offering a timeless celebration of the human heart.
  
  Charming, witty, and endlessly entertaining, Twelfth Night invites readers and audiences alike to lose themselves in a world where love triumphs over confusion and joy emerges from delightful disorder.

  Camelot is in trouble. If King Arthur doesn't turn things around soon, his reign will be remembered as nothing more than a rather dull period in British history. Enter three hapless squires with a plan... and a legend is born.
  This hilarious retelling of the Arthurian legends brings to life King Arthur (obvs), the lovely Guinevere, the enigmatic Merlin, the Lady of the Lake and the Lady of Shalott, the evil Morgana and her troublesome son Mordred, and more Knights than you can fit round an oblong table.
  Following in the hoofsteps of Le Navet Bete's previous hit adaptations, Dracula: The Bloody Truth, The Three Musketeers and Treasure Island, all co-created with John Nicholson (The Hound of the Baskervilles), it toured the UK in 2023 and 2024.
  Originally performed by three actors playing several dozen characters, King Arthur offers rich opportunities for any theatre company, drama group or Round Table to create their own legendary production and a spectacular knight to remember.

  Fairy Tales of the Mind - Tales...

  Ailina Walker

  Every story has a beginning, but what happens if you don't remember that beginning? What if you realise that the few memories you have, are only of violence and neglect? Anxiety rises, fear of abandonment is constant on your mind, fear of being unloved is eating you up, and the world you envisioned to be a fairy tale is destroyed. So, you comfort yourself by letting your mind wander, and you wait for someone to save you even after the abuse, despite knowing full well that it's unhealthy. Knowing that those daydreams you have of dying are unhealthy. You survived the physical abuse and the neglect by escaping reality and continually dreaming of fairy tales, but you became too engrossed in those dreams. Those dreams resulted in you creating an alternative world in your mind in which you craved to stay in – like an addict, forgetting entirely that there existed a world outside of those dreams. This is a collection of poetry about mental illness and the impact of child abuse in adulthood.
