Sinopse

'I don't get angry, people get angry at me. In fact, I've only ever sworn once in a car… in English.'
In a hotel basement somewhere in Birmingham, three people – a nurse, a delivery driver and an entrepreneur – are attending a speed-awareness course to address their aggressive driving.
Abz, a leading expert on road safety and the most in-demand course facilitator north of the M25, presents them with a choice: change your ways, or lose your licence. But the training course quickly veers into a tumultuous group-therapy session as they are forced to confront the real question: why are we all so angry?
Mohamed-Zain Dada's play Speed is a breakneck journey through the daily annoyances and deep-buried secrets that leave us spinning. Wickedly comic and darkly thrilling, it was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Milli Bhatia.

    "The course of true love never did run smooth."
    
    Step into a moonlit forest where the lines between reality and illusion blur. William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a dazzling celebration of love, magic, and the hilarious unpredictability of the human heart. When four young lovers flee the rigid laws of Athens for an enchanted wood, they unwittingly stumble into a civil war between the King and Queen of the Fairies.
    
    With the mischievous Puck pulling the strings and a magical flower juice causing havoc, the lovers find themselves in a tangled web of mistaken identities and sudden passions. Meanwhile, a group of bumbling amateur actors, led by the unforgettable Nick Bottom, prepares a play for the Duke's wedding—only to have Bottom transformed into a donkey by the playful sprites.
    
    This definitive edition captures the lyrical beauty and slapstick humor that has made this play a favorite for over four centuries. From the ethereal beauty of the fairy kingdom to the high-stakes drama of the Athenian court, A Midsummer Night's Dream remains the ultimate exploration of the madness of love.

    I go with the wind, people of Orphalese, but not down into emptiness; And if this day is not a fulfilment of your needs and my love, then let it be a promise till another day.” 
      
    The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. As he bids farewell to the people of Orphalese, Almustafa speaks with them on the topics closest to their hearts. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book. 
      
    The Prophet is a work of fiction, written by Lebanese-American artist, poet, and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Gibran was a key figure in Arabic literary modernist movement, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. As a product of his culturally-rich upbringing, Gibran’s work beautifully blends religious traditions and philosophies from around the world.
