Sinopsis

Matthew Sweeney’s palette in My Life as a Painter – his twelfth collection – features a wild mix of birds and animals: lizards, snakes, rats, camels, donkeys, feral cats, dogs and owls. One dog transmits telepathic requests for the food he wants, and there’s a parrot who speaks as ambassador for the bird world. Sweeney’s canvas here is the transhuman: where boundaries between human and non-human can’t be fixed, dreams turn into torments, secrets stay hidden, strange communiqués remain unclear, and the natural weirdness of his native Donegal verges on the surreal. There are poems ostensibly about art, artists and filmmaking which are as much portraits of the poet and the difficulties of writing poetry. Other poems offer oblique perspectives on religion, warfare, migration and displacement; or go off at a tangent to explore the imaginative possibilities of everything from Michigan’s Mullett Lake and the geysers of Iceland to rope-ladders, tin-mines, a giant blue cabbage and an old thrown-out Christmas tree.

South Sanford only has one point of entry and one point of exit... 
Trapped inside of South Sanford are poverty, corruption, media lies, and a human trafficking ring the city who live there are blamed for yet victims of. Nevertheless, ebony bombshell Shatima Thomas feels she's been led there by her spiritual guides to unite with the family she was separated from after her father was murdered by the police. In five years, all she's been met with are the desires of men and crooked cops who want to use her to get them locked up. Men are the last thing on her mind. She's too busy trying to protect her son from the abusive ex who got her pregnant and has been stalking her since. As he steps out of the shadows, she fears he has connections to her city's dark circumstances that she may not be able to shield her son from alone. 
For Rahshaan Bailey, life is just something to do until he dies. Known on the streets as "Banger," his only goals are to find the son who was taken from him, and to get the pretty girl in his building to give him a chance. When he finds out he has a connection to her that goes beyond the lust he feels for the ebony bombshell, he makes it his life's mission to protect her and her son from whatever she's up against. If only she'll tell him what it is...

"I just don't know if I'm ever happy. Like, really truly happy. Even if you sent me up to space, by day four I'd be worrying if I had enough stuff on my Kindle..."
What makes us truly happy? Health? Family? Professional success? Blasting it in the gym? Romance? Pills?
Or are we ignoring the bigger stuff? Real life-changing stuff that can devastate the world if we just keep ignoring it.
Glenn Waldron's surprising comedy The Here and This and Now takes a look at the pharmaceuticals business, the salaryman and woman, and the quest for happiness. It premiered at Theatre Royal Plymouth in March 2017.

Lady Windermere's Fan, A Play About a Good Woman is a four-act comedy by Oscar Wilde, first produced 22 February 1892 at the St James's Theatre in London. The play was first published in 1893. Like many of Wilde's comedies, it bitingly satirizes the morals of Victorian society, particularly marriage. The story concerns Lady Windermere, who discovers that her husband may be having an affair with another woman. She confronts her husband but he instead invites the other woman, Mrs Erlynne, to his wife's birthday ball. Angered by her husband's unfaithfulness, Lady Windermere leaves her husband for another lover. Or does she? Is it really possible to trust delicious gossip? Are all men really bad? These and many other questions are raised and if not answered, then held up for public scrutiny in this biting satire of morals and proper behavior. The best known line of the play sums up the central theme: We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. —Lord Darlington (from Wikipedia and the reader)
