Sinopse

'People say life's too short, it's not. It's too bloody long. There's too much time and too many ways to fill it, all those hours in all those days, all those choices you have to make.'
Sam's eighteen and her life's about to start. Zoe's forty-something and hers never did. They don't have much in common. Just a love of '80s new wave, and an illness that wants them dead.
Thrown together in an eating disorder unit, their most intimate secrets exposed, they form a complicated bond. But when another patient turns the ward into chaos, they're forced to confront a difficult question: if an institution is the thing keeping you safe, how are you supposed to cope when you leave?
Authentic, witty and profoundly compassionate, Laura Waldren's play Some Demon won the Papatango New Writing Prize and the Clive Richards Foundation Writer in Residence Bursary, and was first produced by Papatango Theatre Company at the Arcola Theatre, London, and Bristol Old Vic in 2024.

    In the Name of Red - Poems

    From lips and warmed cheeks to silk and falling leaves, the subjects of Z.R. Ghani's poems radiate with redness. Sometimes a cloak, often a shining symbol, Ghani's reds are sacred and dazzling: pomegranates ripening to jewels and perfectly-placed bindis shining like suns.
    But something darker lurks beneath the ruby depths. A city is held hostage by a heatwave, a flame is lit in a dark room, a ballerina twists inside a jewellery box.
    As though developing photographs, Ghani shines a deep light over her poems as a tool to slowly make the unseen visible, the unsaid audible. This is a debut book rich with desire, shame, grief, faith, love, and at the forefront of it all: the colour red.

    Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in.  
     
    In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside. 
     
    Author Bio: 
    Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
     
    Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
     
    The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.

    Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay

    Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay by Robert Greene is a lively and imaginative Elizabethan comedy that blends romance, folklore, magic, and scholarly ambition into a richly entertaining theatrical work. One of Greene's most celebrated plays, it combines humor and fantasy with reflections on knowledge, power, and the unpredictability of human desire.
    
    At the center of the story is Friar Bacon, a brilliant scholar whose fascination with learning and magical experimentation places him at the boundary between wisdom and obsession. Alongside his companion Friar Bungay, he becomes involved in a series of extraordinary events that intertwine academic ambition with courtly romance and comic intrigue. Bacon's attempts to harness supernatural knowledge raise questions about the limits of human understanding and the responsibilities that come with intellectual power.
    
    Parallel to the scholarly storyline runs a romantic plot involving Prince Edward and the beautiful Margaret, whose relationships become complicated by rivalry, disguise, and shifting loyalties. Greene skillfully balances moments of emotional sincerity with lighthearted humor, creating a dynamic contrast between the lofty aspirations of scholars and the everyday realities of love and human folly.
    
    The play is especially notable for its use of magical spectacle and theatrical illusion, reflecting the Elizabethan fascination with alchemy, astrology, and the mysterious possibilities of science and sorcery. Yet beneath its entertaining surface lies a deeper meditation on ambition, humility, and the consequences of pursuing power without wisdom.
    
    Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay remains a charming and influential example of early English drama, celebrated for its inventive storytelling, memorable characters, and unique blend of comedy, romance, and intellectual fantasy.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A man, trapped in the void of his life after a failed marriage, books a five-day trip to Pattaya. What starts as an escape quickly descends into a vortex of neon, flesh, and digital phantoms. Guided by anonymous warnings and recommendations from Reddit threads , he navigates the city's sinful streets, from ThaiFriendly dates and the chaotic Soi 6 to excessive parties fueled by drugs and ladyboys. Each day is a new escalation, a deeper plunge into a frenzy that dissolves the boundaries between reality, desire, and self-destruction. "5 Days in Pattaya" is not a travel story; it is the anatomy of a collapse, a mirror reflecting the darkest chasms of the human soul until only an echo remains
