    Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words.  The English language has well over a million of them and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one.  But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition.  Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings. 
 
Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children’s textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today.  
 
Where to start? How to do that? Poetry can be difficult. We’ve put together some very eclectic Poetry Hours, with a broad range of poets and themes, to entice you and seduce you with all manner of temptations.   
 
In this hour we introduce poets of the quality and breadth of John Dryden and William Morris as well as themes on Victorian Poetry, August, The Female Poet and more. 
 
All of them are from Portable Poetry, a dedicated poetry publisher. We believe that poetry should be a part of our everyday lives, uplifting the soul & reaching the parts that other arts can’t.  Our range of audiobooks and ebooks cover volumes on some of our greatest poets to anthologies of seasons, months, places and a wide range of themes.  Portable Poetry can found at iTunes, Audible, the digital music section on Amazon and most other digital stores.  
 
This audio book is also duplicated in print as an ebook. Same title. Same words. Perhaps a different experience. But with Amazon’s whispersync you can pick up and put down on any device – start on audio, continue in print and any which way after that.

    A permanently single, professionally neurotic stand-up comedian finally meets his Mr Right – and then does everything wrong.
Is Mr Right quite what he seems? And just how far will the comedian go to get a laugh?
Marcelo Dos Santos's play Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen is a dark and bitingly funny one-man show about vulnerability, intimacy, ego and truth. It premiered in the Roundabout at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, produced by Francesca Moody Productions, directed by Matthew Xia, and starring Samuel Barnett.
The critically acclaimed, Fringe First-winning production transferred to the Bush Theatre, London, in November 2023.
'I'm thirty-six, I'm a comedian, and I'm about to kill my boyfriend.'
'Blending dark humour, pathos and a hearty dash of millennial angst, [this] deserves to be the next Fleabag… the gag-count is ridiculously high and the writing overall has a Bennettian finesse… it's enviably accomplished' - Telegraph
'Enthralling… a compelling and troubling character study with some killer punchlines' - Guardian
'A cleverly constructed piece of writing, and often very funny' - The Stage
'Frank, funny and occasionally filthy… a nice piece of writing, following in the footsteps of Fleabag' - Independent
'Unsettling and deeply clever… The questions posed by Dos Santos's knife-sharp writing are satisfyingly complex… It's a very funny show, but also a telling one and it confirms Dos Santos as a really interesting writer, using an examination of the mechanisms of comedy to peer closely into the workings of the human heart' - WhatsOnStage
'Very entertaining and sharply funny' - Lyn Gardner - Stagedoor
'Funny and pleasingly absurdist… An entertaining, sometimes outrageous hour, brought to a very skilled climax' - Time Out
'Is this the male Fleabag? Marcelo Dos Santos's fevered monologue about a romance on the verge of a nervous breakdown… holds us spellbound for an hour' - The Times

    A full-cast dramatization of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic masterpiece. The Scarlet Letter is set in 17th century Salem, Massachusetts, and concerns the  public condemnation of Hester Prynne, who bears an illegitimate child. However, the story is not about adultery, nor is it specifically about sin. Rather it traces the effect of actual and symbolic sin on the mind and spirit of each character. In the end, The Scarlet Letter comes to stand not for adultery, but for the guilt that is the common experience of all humans.An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Shirley Anderson, David Catlin, Raymond Fox, Joy Gregory, Michael Lapthorn, Heidi Stillman and Andrew White.
