Queen Victoria and Oscar Wilde – repression and liberation – battle for supremacy; there can only be one victor.Show book
A young couple prepare dinner - but something isn't right. In a city not so different from our own capital, a group of freedom fighters attempts to stand up to an Orwellian establishment in increasingly perilous circumstances. The story that unfolds brings into question relationships, identities and the nature of reality itself' 'Holcroft plunges us into an Orwellian near-future dystopia, where governmental aural surveillance is rife and, for political dissenters, everyday life is a carefully maintained lie. It's as theatrically playful as it is disturbing' - The Times 'not just a drama of political resistance set in some parallel British dystopia, but also a cute sendup of theatre acting and writing... keeps us guessing throughout' - Guardian 'startlingly imaginative... Clever, funny and disturbing, it's a blend of conceptual prank and dystopian satire' - Evening StandardShow book

The Ravens A flock of ravens floats upon the air over their prey, Like a looming black storm cloud of gloom, In the later hours of the death of the day, They fight each other for room, In the melee, one is injured it falls, Blood and gore fill the air, The air is filled with their dire calls, Little did the observers of this carnage care, To them, it was merely a display of the nature of the raven, Upon the hour they fled, They were neither crazed nor craven, They were happy and well-fed.Show book
