    Fifty Shades of the Mystic East...

    Whilst the notion of the Mystic East and Oriental wisdom was greatly romanticised by the Victorians and others, the shadow of Colonialism has smudged the view.  These great cultures are some of humanity’s earliest, their works, their art some of its most daring and most accomplished.   
     
    In these 50 poems across 50 poets we hope, at least in part, to rebalance our view of this subject.  We begin in the 6th century BC and travel with a poet’s words and eyes across India, China, Persia and many other places in between.  The geography and culture may shift to different hues but the flavours, notions, musings and truths of these works bring both simplicity, majesty and beauty to these lands and peoples.   
     
    Let us journey with poets such as Lao Tzu, Rumi, Mirabai, Gabirol and Guru Nanak on a journey to seek, to discover and find meaning in their verse that is so relevant to our lives today.

    The Baby (NHB Modern Plays)

    Rome, 78 BC. The ruler, Sulla, has just died, and professional mourners have been appointed to wail at his state funeral. But Sulla was hated by the poor and the working classes, and the wailers - led by Macu - threaten to strike, with dire consequences for them and for Macu's daughter...
    Written in vivid, contemporary language, Chris Hannan's modern epic The Baby is about a polyglot, violent city at the heart of a divided nation.
    The play was first produced at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, in October 1990, directed by Michael Boyd.
    'An epic play humanised by Hannan's concerns for the lives of ordinary people caught up in events seemingly beyond their control' The Times
    'A period epic complete with all the trappings you would expect from the great Elizabethan and Jacobean classicists who wowed their audiences with heightened language, earth-shattering emotion, weighty moral dilemmas, lowbrow comedy and disturbing, bloody tragedy.' Scotland on Sunday
    'Chris Hannan's new play explores love and the grief it can engender when marred by circumstances. And for the fullness of that grief, add in anger and guilt, distraction to the point of self-destruction, and bewildered hurt that makes flesh feel as if skin would burst, it is so uncontainable. The context is Ancient Rome but the issues are timeless and on-going... touching directly on any place or age where ordinary lives are wracked by power politics.' The Herald

    Honour (NHB Modern Plays)

    An unsettling play about infidelity seen from the perspective of the three women involved: the wife, the lover and the daughter.
    George and Honor have been happily married for thirty-two years. She is a successful writer, he is a revered columnist. They have a perfect understanding of each other. Until a pushy young female journalist - on an assignment to 'profile' George - quite deliberately seeks to undermine that understanding. The fallout is dreadful - but beautifully and convincingly portrayed in all its painful consequences.
    'Murray-Smith's considerable skill lies in charting the minute emotional shifts and the subtle power play between the four people... Superb' - Mail on Sunday
    'Murray-Smith's writing is searching and droll, naturalistic and poetically honed' - Independent on Sunday
    'An old story, but thanks to the quality of the writing and acting we share the characters' sense of sailing into uncharted waters... And there are some excellent comic touches... the piece deserves full credit for its honesty and dramatic grip' - Sunday Telegraph
    'It's an intelligent, powerful, gripping piece' - The Times
    'A really powerful new play. Joanna Murray-Smith is the most exciting Australian dramatist of her generation' - New Statesman
