Synopsis

Noah and Celeste Quilter met on a blind date organised by a newspaper, fell in love, got married and had a baby. But from the very earliest days of their relationship, they were under surveillance. And when they started a fight for their future, they never guessed it would cost them their lives.
In a modern world where reality is whatever we imagine it to be, how do we know the stories we tell ourselves are true? What happens when there's only one person in the whole world you can truly trust? And what if they never take the bins out?
Rapture by Lucy Kirkwood is a slippery thriller about love, power and belief which premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in June 2022, directed by Lucy Morrison. It was promoted under the title That Is Not Who I Am, by Dave Davidson, a pseudonym.
Disponible depuis: 23/06/2022.
Longueur d'impression: 112 pages.

    Meticulously documented and researched, based on facts LEGACY OF TERROR – AUSCHWITZ SEX SLAVE tells the story of 33-year-old beauty Eliza who goes from con artist on the French Riviera to soul-searching survivor in the bowels of the Nazi-created hell on earth, Auschwitz. This is a saga never before told in literature or feature films. 
    Eliza’s Auschwitz journal becomes a must read for a German woman – Anna, who’s on a mission for her son Wolfgang shortly after 1967’s 6-Day War in Israel. Anna hopes to clear him of accusations of being a war criminal while performing his duty as an SS officer during WWII. 
    Containing elements of a thriller, a petrifying war saga and an unconventional romance, this heart-searing novel evolves into a tapestry of brokenheartedness, self-reproach, and perhaps resilience and stalwart acceptance. What must these women do to keep their humanity intact? Its intended audience is any historical fiction lover who wishes to delve deep into the psyches of those who are able to survive this unimaginable hell at all costs.

    Abseiling lesbians! Queers in classrooms! Perverts panicking parents!
    Thatcher's Section 28, which banned the 'promotion' of homosexuality in schools, was the landmark legislation that silenced a generation, offered a global blueprint for LGBTQ+ oppression and galvanised a movement.
    Billy Barrett and Ellice Stevens's After the Act is a funny, camp and unapologetically queer musical about how a moral panic gripped a nation – and a community decided to fight back. Its inspiring, often heartbreaking, stories of teachers, students and activists impacted by the legislation are accompanied by a joyously exuberant score written by Frew and inspired by the music of the 1980s.
    It was first produced in 2023 by the award-winning theatre and film company Breach at New Diorama Theatre, London, before performances during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a UK tour in 2024.

    Franklyn was born into a gritty north of England town. His expected path through life would have him live out his years in the manner of that town's baseline existence. But it wasn't to be.Perhaps he was pre-selected to break rank so that bigger dreams could be fulfilled. Whatever the prime force may have been, he was to know a different life.Perhaps, too, the corridors of our own reality are flimsier than we believe! On the other side of the wall may lie another path.  As Franklyn himself discovers, a perceived reality can be as real as reality itself.

    This is the story of Marco, a journalist who has lost his way after his wife was raped and then her suicide. Desperation and the desire for change take him to environments far from his world. He finds himself, almost unwittingly, frequenting the slums of his city and a low-class dive, The Bad Bear Tavern, where he meets a neglected humanity living on the edge of legality, made up largely of non-EU citizens. Among them, one person stands out: Igor, a cultured Hungarian who has experienced terrible events in the Middle East, where he fought as a contractor and as a volunteer alongside the Kurds against ISIS. Marco is fascinated by his personality, but he will discover something that will unsettle him and worsen his existential crisis.

    “Echoes of Love” is not just a collection of poems; it is a reflection of the emotions we all carry — the beauty of love, the ache of loss, and the quiet strength that comes with healing. Each piece is a heartbeat, a sigh, a silent memory brought to life through words. As you read or listen, I invite you to journey with me — to feel every rise and fall of emotion, to breathe in the pauses, and to find pieces of your own story within mine. I hope it makes you feel seen, understood, and deeply connected, as if each verse was waiting just for you. May it whisper to your soul and leave behind an echo of comfort and love.
