Synopsis

'I think of my body sometimes like it's stubborn. We're not good friends. Like it's a spooky hotel, and I'm a ghost haunting it. 'Cause you don't live in a hotel, you just pass through.'
When Daphne is diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency at the age of nineteen, her sister Christine steps in to help in the only way she knows how: by donating her eggs. For a while, the world seems corrected. But as the years go by – and Daphne sets out on the long road of IVF – the sisters' relationship begins to twist.
Pennyroyal is a heartrending new play by Lucy Roslyn about sisterhood and motherhood, enduring love, and regrets many years in the making. Inspired by Edith Wharton's 1922 novella The Old Maid, it was premiered at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Josh Roche.

The fallout of unicorn magic brings Jordan and Edra closer together.   
For Edra, the strengthened bond between them is exhilarating and terrifying, and everything he believed he’d never have again. But Jordan is struggling with defining what is him and what is Edra when he barely knows himself.  
When griffins descend on the city, killing several people, and then claim sanctuary from hunters, it’s up to Jordan and the rest of Mytho Investigations to uncover the truth before humans start calling for the griffins’ death.  
With the entire country waiting for the outcome of the vote that will determine the standing of mythological people—and define who is a person—everyone is on edge. If it doesn’t pass, Jordan worries what it will mean for him and Edra.  
As Edra and the other mytho rulers of the city contemplate their roles and the future, one thing is clear: no matter the outcome of the vote, things can’t remain as they are.

“Company policy forbids me from exchanging my blood, my soul, or my firstborn child with customers…” 
When Ross starts working third-shift at a gas station, he doesn’t think anything extraordinary will happen. He expects a lot of quiet shifts. 
Well, you know what they say about assumptions. 
One explosion later and he’s the personal assistant to a vampire—who he admits is not only sexy, but the sane one—in charge of his supernatural clan’s paperwork, and managing any trouble the members get into. 
Spoiler alert: the clan can get into quite a bit of trouble. 
Ross is definitely not paid enough for this.

Artist Daniel Chase moves into the house he inherited from his grandfather -- with the proviso he must live there or lose it. Soon after, he begins to get premonitions that something isn't right. Then he meets Griffin Pryce, a handsome man who lives off the grid. They become friends when Griffin agrees to become the subject for one of Daniel's paintings.


Before that can happen, Daniel's ex Ray arrives, wanting to partner with Daniel to turn the house into a fancy restaurant. When Daniel says no, Ray sends a man to threaten him if he doesn't sign the contract Ray has drawn up. Daniel refuses and things go from bad to worse.


With Griffin's help, can Daniel stop Ray's machinations? As the attraction between Daniel and Griffin grows stronger, will it -- and they -- survive what Ray does next?

We never should've been anything more than roommates.DREW: Life dealing me a hard blow is nothing new.

Light Heavyweight Champion Asher Ramsey is the definition of a ladies' man. His stormy gray eyes and inked skin call to the artist in me and make me itch for my pencils and sketch pad. If I'm honest, they make me itch to touch every detail too, which confuses me. After he offers to let me stay in his guest room, I discover there's more to Asher than he allows the world to see.ASHER: My life is a lie. A play written and directed by my PR manager. 
 
With the biggest fight of my career only weeks away, my focus is on securing my title. Losing my belt to some new up-and-comer isn't an option, and I can't afford any distractions.

Sure, I'm attracted to him, but I'm an expert at hiding behind the mask of a straight man. Besides, he's completely off-limits. Not that it matters—we don't even play for the same team.What's the worst that can happen?

Jared Harrison has never been able to please his father. In an effort to impress him, Jared goes to the same college his father graduated from, and even majors in pre-law, just like his old man.
Unfortunately, neither announcement wins him any "son of the year" awards.

Until Larry asks to meet Jared's family.
