Sinopsis

'I write. I demand. I ask.
Not for women to have power over men but over themselves.'
Trailblazing writer, feminist philosopher, and fearless campaigner for women's rights, Mary Wollstonecraft lived a life of courage and determination. She dared to defy the conventions of eighteenth-century Britain, and kept going when many wanted to bring her down.
Maureen Lennon's play Mary and the Hyenas is a searing tribute to the spirit and resilience of a woman who fought for equality and justice – and an exhilarating dive into history and the birth of feminism. Be prepared for petticoats to be lifted, boots to be stamped, and voices raised in the pursuit of change.
Featuring electrifying music by Billy Nomates and performed by a cast of six, Mary and the Hyenas was first produced by Hull Truck Theatre and Pilot Theatre, directed by Esther Richardson, and opened at Hull Truck Theatre in 2025 before a UK tour.
This edition includes the full text of the play along with a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.

Samadhi is a channeled poetry book about finding enlightenment, and awakening the world through the divine light of your soul.  
This poetry book is for those who are ready to rise as leaders of the new earth, and awaken the world.

The dark of the night 
And guide the way

And unlock the door 
To a life of prosperity 
And inner bliss 
Your reality will change

No longer will you 
Limit your soul 
You will discover your essence 
And find you are whole 
Allow yourself to reunite 
With the light of the divine 
It's time to rise 
And let yourself shine 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by my search for enlightenment, and how yogis achieve this state in samadhi.
