Summary

I have walked many different paths, in several different countries, with many different people that I called friends and loves.  Several times I became lost to my direction, and I had doubts in the Omnipresent Sacred Spirit, God, Allah, and hundreds of different names throughout time and even now.  I have seen valleys of depression filled in by the crumbling mountains of stress, and I have seen crooked paths straightened, changing peoples lives.  I knew these changes because I lived with and passed through the valleys, mountains, and crooked paths.  This book has poems, thoughts, and a story or two that I have been writing for many years as I recorded what I have seen, what I had dreamed, and what my imagination gave to me.  My Faith, my Hope, my Prayers, and my Imagination, are what I hope may help someone else in reading and enjoying these scribed experiences.  Poetry, prayers, and imagination are at times hard to understand without the experience from which they came.  It is a gift, and a work of love to all of The Great Spirits People.  Mitakuye Oyasin!  Aho!

    Two plays showcasing the exciting and distinctive voice of Josh Azouz.
    Buggy Baby is a horror comedy about trying to build a normal life when nothing about life is normal.
    Jaden, Nur and baby Aya have escaped another country and ended up in a rotting room in London. While Nur is at college, Jaden chews leaves and has visions of giant rabbits with burning red eyes. He thinks Aya is someone else, someone dangerous. But she's just a baby. Isn't she?
    The Mikvah Project is a playful and poignant play about two men who meet every Friday in a north-west London Mikvah, a traditional Jewish pool used for ritual cleansing.
    Avi is married but childless. Eitan's voice is breaking and he's having wet dreams. At the Mikvah they talk about football, the synagogue choir, women. And as their bond deepens, a transformation begins…
    Both plays premiered at The Yard, London: Buggy Baby in 2018, directed by Ned Bennett, and The Mikvah Project in 2015, directed by the theatre's Artistic Director, Jay Miller.
    'Strange, fascinating… beautifully nuanced… Azouz's script slides between varied narratives, staccato poetry and direct speech. Every moment feels rich with meaning' - Time Out on The Mikvah Project

    'A nation that devours another will one day devour itself.'
    Set when the Great Devouring comes home, England & Son is a kaleidoscopic odyssey, where disaster capitalism, empire, Thatcherite politics, stolen youth and stolen wealth merge into the tale of a working-class boy who just wants his dad to smile at him.
    With some deep, dark laughs – and some deep, dark love – England & Son is a one-man play by Ed Edwards, first performed by the celebrated political comedian Mark Thomas.
    It was first produced by HOME Manchester and Tin Cat Entertainment, and premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Cressida Brown, where it won a Fringe First Award.
    This edition also features an illuminating essay by the author, 'Writing the End of Empire'.
    'A triumph… Ed Edwards' play has a terrifying force as it charts the story of a homeless man… it unfolds in fragmentary snapshots, kaleidoscopic images that build a picture in shards… The play's observations are fierce and sharp; its empathy, profound and moving' - WhatsOnStage
    'A funny and ferocious telling of a lost childhood that frames the story of a juvenile offender through the lens of colonialism… powerful and moving' - Guardian
    'Tremendous energy and real pathos' - The Stage
