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.
Disponible depuis: 21/07/2022.

    Tobias Greene is dead. Or, at least, he was dead, before his ex-boyfriend woke him with news of his missing sister. 
    I wasn’t supposed to be here. Death should have been the end for me. A quiet erasure of all the terrible things I’d done in the almost thirty years of my first life. But then I was awake, and those memories came flooding back in, destroying the peace that had saved me in the crushing dark. To make matters worse, Bastien, the man I loved—and lost—was the one who tore me from Death’s icy grip. I couldn’t remember how things ended between us, but judging by the contempt in his eyes, I would guess it wasn’t pleasant. 
    Lynette was missing. My twin—my better half—vanished the night before she was to succeed our mother as Head of the Magi Council. I was the last one to be seen with her. Then I was murdered. Now, I had to piece together those moments leading up to my death if we were to have any chance of saving Lynette. 
    I wanted to forget the man I was in my first life. But with every step closer to Lynette, my past stalked ever closer. The hearts I’d broken. The lives I’d ruined. The men I’d left behind. 
    I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong. 
    DEAD WRONG. 
    DEAD WRONG is a plot-driven, magical realism, harem-style M/M romance with plenty of action, lots of magical men, and just the right amount of spice.

    What happens when fate intertwines shifters from land and sea? 
     
     
     
    Dante Perez knows what it's like to be an omega in an alpha's world. He's fought to make his company one of the best, and when he gets the opportunity to sponsor the summer's air and water show circuit, he's not going to let anything stand in his way, especially not alpha flyboy Dominic Pavone. Or his inconvenient attraction to the irritating man. 
     
     
     
    For Dominic, being a stunt pilot for the summer is usually the best part of his year. Until Dante ruins everything by traveling with the show. Now Dom can't escape Dante no matter how hard he tries . . . and maybe he's not trying all that hard. 
     
     
     
    When a hotel mix-up leaves Dante and Dominic sharing a room, the sparks that normally fly between them turn into flames of a different kind—the type that set the sheets on fire, and both men realize there is more between them. A lot more. 
     
     
     
    As summer and their arrangement comes to an end, a surprise changes everything they thought they knew about each other, but maybe a new beginning—the kind that leads to forever—is exactly what Dom and Dante need.

    Nineteen-year-old hockey phenom Alexander Price is the youngest-ever captain in the NHL. With a polarizing social media presence and a predilection for dirty play, he typifies the stereotype of young, out-of-control athlete. But away from the cameras, Alex is a kid with an anxiety disorder and the expectations of an expansion franchise on his shoulders. And maybe he tries too hard to fit the part of asshole playboy, but it's better than the alternative; in his line of work, gay is the punchline of an insult, not something he can be. 
     
     
     
    Eighteen-year-old vlogger Elijah Rodriguez is a freshman in college recovering from an injury that derailed his Olympic figure-skating dreams. Mixed-race, disabled, and out of the closet since he was fourteen, Eli is unapologetically himself. He has no qualms about voicing his disapproval of celebrity jocks who make homophobic jokes on Twitter and park their flashy cars in the handicapped spaces outside of ice rinks. 
     
     
     
    After an antagonistic introduction, Alex and Eli's inexplicable friendship both baffles and charms the internet. But navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It's a lot harder when the world—much of it disapproving—is watching you fall in love with your best friend.
