Rapture (NHB Modern Plays)

Lucy Kirkwood

Sinopse

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.

My Champion - And Other...

Julie C. Gilbert

My Champion 
You are Lord in Heaven 
Lord on this Earth. 
Master and Maker, 
King and Creator, 
Father of all things, 
And lover of my soul. 
  
I have an enemy. 
He knows how to hurt me. 
He knows what I want to hear. 
He knows how to twist my wants, 
Make me think they’re needs. 
Help me drown out his voice. 
  
Lord, be my victory, 
Be my champion. 
Show me Your glory. 
Make me part of your story. 
I want to know You better. 
Open my ears, flood my mind. 
Teach my heart to hear 
You and only You. 
  
*** 
This is the third inspirational Christian poetry collection. It’s preceded by Thin Black Road and followed by Just Like You. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.

Plays from VAULT 3 (NHB Modern...

Christopher Adams, Lucy Burke,...

This anthology comprises five of the best plays from VAULT 2018, London's biggest and most exciting arts festival.
Young men are dying and everyone assumes they're just casualties of London's chemsex scene. Everyone, that is, but Anthony, who is determined to investigate. Tumulus by Christopher Adams is a chilling, queer play-noir set amongst the shadowy hills of Hampstead Heath.
Critically acclaimed during its run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Lucy Burke's Glitter Punch – set in Greater Manchester – charts a troubling new relationship between mysterious John and sixteen-year-old Molly, a love that will change their lives forever. 'Powerful' (The Stage).
Set in a Wigan taxi, Burkas and Bacon Butties by Shamia Chalabi and Sarah Henley is a heart-warming comedy about taxi-driver Ashraf and his twenty-something daughter, Shaz, as they negotiate the ups and downs of living in a mixed-culture family.
When bereaved mother Mary finds a disembodied arm, a conspiracy builds: maybe her child isn't quite so dead after all. Shortlisted for Soho Theatre's Tony Craze Award, Sami Ibrahim's Wind Bit Bitter, Bit Bit Bit Her is an enthralling monologue about love and loss.
The Strongbox by Stephanie Jacob is a story of domestic servitude and abuse of power, as authoritarian Kat, her ageing mother, Ma, and their teenaged slave, Maudie, jostle for power – and affection – in their dilapidated London home.
'A major London festival… showcasing new and rising talent' - Independent on VAULT Festival
