Summary

Mary Gladys Meredith Webb's novel, 'Gone to Earth,' is a classic tale of love, nature, and moral conflict set in rural England. The book beautifully intertwines elements of romanticism and realism, with vivid descriptions of the natural world and the inner turmoil of the characters. Webb's lyrical writing style and attention to detail make this a compelling read for those interested in 20th-century British literature. The themes of passion, societal expectations, and the clash between civilization and the wild resonate throughout the novel, creating a thought-provoking narrative that stays with the reader long after the final page. Mary Gladys Meredith Webb, known for her deep connection to nature and interest in folklore, drew inspiration from her own experiences living in the English countryside. Her background in poetry and her love of the outdoors shine through in 'Gone to Earth,' adding depth and authenticity to the story. I highly recommend 'Gone to Earth' to readers who enjoy literary fiction with strong female protagonists, lush descriptions of nature, and complex moral dilemmas. Webb's masterful storytelling and exploration of human nature make this novel a timeless gem worth discovering.

    In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: Edward as gay; Peter, even more daringly, as an ABBA fan.
Nearly thirty years later, they meet again – and take a chance by forming the world's first ABBA tribute band in drag. It's a riot of platform boots and dodgy beards, 'Waterloos' and 'Chiquititas', and they couldn't escape if they wanted to. But can Edward and Peter's friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road?
Ian Hallard's The Way Old Friends Do is a tender, laugh-out-loud comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens. It premiered at Birmingham Rep in 2023, directed by Mark Gatiss, before touring the UK, including a run at Park Theatre, London.
The play offers every theatre company and drama group all the ingredients to give their audience the time of its life.
