Paper Crusade

Michelle Penn

Sinopsis

On a wasted island in perpetual sun, the Father practices magic, laments his lost kingdom and commands a ragtag army of three: the passionate and damaged Daughter, the winged Spirit and an indigenous being known only as C. Behind their uniforms — white suits and full-face paper masks — the soldiers seethe with rebellion.
The arrival of the Boy, a hapless prince, and the Brother, the Father's rival, unleashes desire, betrayal, insanity and revenge — all of it witnessed by an irate sea.
Paper Crusade is a bold reinvention of Shakespeare's play, The Tempest. Michelle Penn's vivid imagery and startling, sensual language create an unforgettable dystopia for our own time.

Poets & Their Inner Demons –...

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles...

The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
In this volume we bring together the poems and verse of those wordsmiths whose lives were blighted by drink and the seemingly unending consumption of it.   
The long roll call and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with the names of these lost talents.

Othello

William Shakespeare

"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."

Experience the most intimate and devastating of William Shakespeare's great tragedies. Othello, a heroic Moorish general in the service of Venice, has won the heart of the beautiful and virtuous Desdemona. But their happiness is short-lived, as Othello's ensign, the brilliant and sociopathic Iago, begins to weave a web of lies designed to destroy the General's life.

Through subtle whispers and the calculated use of a misplaced handkerchief, Iago poisons Othello's mind with unfounded suspicions of Desdemona's infidelity. The play is a terrifying masterclass in psychological manipulation, showing how easily noble love can be transformed into murderous rage.

This definitive edition presents the original text of a work that remains shockingly modern in its exploration of race, domesticity, and the nature of evil. A cornerstone of the Elizabethan theatre, Othello features Shakespeare's most complex villain and a tragic hero whose fall is as inevitable as it is heartbreaking.

Witness the power of a lie. Buy "Othello" today and experience a masterwork of suspense and tragedy.

The Women of Llanrumney

Azuka Oforka

Llanrumney plantation. Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica. 1765.
Annie and Cerys are enslaved by the Morgan family from Wales. When Elizabeth Morgan is faced with the loss of her plantation, the slaves' future hangs in the balance.
With a storm of rebellion brewing, Annie does everything she can to secure her future. But sooner or later she will have to face up to the horror and trauma all around her, including her own.
Azuka Oforka's play The Women of Llanrumney is a powerful, searing drama that explores the impact of slavery and the lives of women who experienced it – those who benefitted from it, those who were brutalised by it and those who fought to destroy it. It premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, directed by Patricia Logue.
Azuka Oforka was the joint winner of the Best Writer award at The Stage Debut Awards 2024.
