Beschreibung

In 'The Hunting of the Snark,' Lewis Carroll crafts a whimsical narrative that brilliantly blends absurdity and fantasy, resulting in a poem of intricate verse and playful language. Set within a nonsensical yet richly imaginative world, the story follows an eclectic crew aboard a ship in search of the elusive Snark, a creature whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Carroll's unique use of wordplay, portmanteaus, and lyrical rhythm not only disorients but also enchants readers, situating the work within the larger context of Victorian literature that valued both innovation and imagination. The poem sparkles with philosophical undertones, inviting interpretations and challenging the conventions of narrative structure. Lewis Carroll, a mathematician and logician, often infused his works with his fascination for the fantastical and the illogical. His experiences in the realms of mathematics and his knowledge of wordplay and riddles heavily influenced his writing. 'The Hunting of the Snark' emerged during an era of creativity and change, reflecting Carroll's desire to explore themes of identity, absurdity, and the nature of reality. 'The Hunting of the Snark' is a must-read for anyone who revels in the absurd or wishes to experience the playful genius of Carroll. Its layered meanings and enchanting style make it a timeless treasure, appealing not only to children but also to adults who appreciate the depth behind the whimsy.

    Part of Deirdre Kinahan's trilogy of landmark plays commemorating seven years of warfare in Ireland, Embargo focuses on a pivotal moment during the Irish War of Independence.
    It is September 1920. Dockers and railmen are refusing to transport armed troops or handle any weapons arriving from Britain. Three characters are caught up in the whirl of historical events in a poetic, bloody and heroic tale of industrial action and civic resistance.
    Embargo was first staged by Fishamble: The New Play Company, in association with Iarnród Éireann and Dublin Port Company, in October 2020, streamed live online from the Pumphouse in Dublin Port, as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.
    Deirdre Kinahan's Raging trilogy tells powerful stories drawing on a tumultuous period of conflict in Irish history, from the 1916 Easter Rising to the Civil War which began in 1922. Each of the three plays – Wild Sky, Embargo and Outrage – was first performed a century after the event which it depicts, and they were commissioned and performed by companies including Fishamble: The New Play Company, Meath County Council Arts Office, Dublin Port Company and Iarnród Éireann.
    
    Together, they challenge the historical narrative, mixing true-life testimonies with powerful drama to create a theatrical hurricane of empathy, action and truth.

    David is gay, disabled and profoundly horny. He can't eat, drink or shower by himself – or wank. Totally inexperienced, he embarks on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain, and dick pics that he has to get someone to take.
    Can he keep it casual whilst also relying on round-the-clock care? And will he manage the thrill and uncertainty of random hook-ups after a lifetime of knockbacks?
    Animal is a hilarious, challenging and heartbreaking play by Jon Bradfield, from a story by Bradfield and Josh Hepple. It won the inaugural Through the Mill Playwriting Prize, was shortlisted for the Papatango Prize, and was first performed at the Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, and Park Theatre, London, in 2023.

    In the village of Dymock, just by the river Leadon in Gloucester, in the years that were leading up to the Great War, six poets were creating literary history.   
    Living, visiting, reading and writing in this small area their friendships, as they intermingled and influenced each other’s lives, would create the enduring legacy of The Dymock Poets. 
    And these were not just run of the mill scribes.  Included in their number were Robert Frost, Edward Thomas and Rupert Brooke.  These three, together with John Drinkwater, Lascelles Abercrombie and Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, were the beating heart of the group.    
    In his volume we gather together some of their finest verse to best illustrate their poetical careers as well as including poems from the visiting Eleanor Farejon, a close friend of Thomas and his wife.

    The Flame of Her Will is an erasure of the Malleus Maleficarum, a text long used to justify witch-hunts. The poems in this collection invert and subvert the original text, paring away the misogyny and hatred until what is left is a lost woman's voice, challenging a history that requires her silence.
