Summary

Ahmad and Nour rent a flat so that they can spend time together away from their families, but is having a space to themselves going to solve all their problems?
Withdrawal, by Syrian writer Mohammad Al Attar, is taken from Plays from the Arab World, a collection of five extraordinary plays exploring and reflecting contemporary life across the Near East and North Africa, now available as individual ebooks.
The full collection also includes:


- 603 by Imad Farajin (Palestine)
- Damage by Kamal Khalladi (Morocco)
- The House by Arzé Khodr (Lebanon)
- Egyptian Products by Laila Soliman (Egypt)
In 2007 the Royal Court Theatre's International Department and the British Council embarked on an ambitious project working with twenty-one writers from across the Near East and North Africa. Seven of the resultant plays received rehearsed readings at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2008. Plays from the Arab World, introduced by Laila Hourani of the British Council, collects five of these unique new voices, each posing different but equally urgent questions.
Available since: 10/11/2017.
Print length: 30 pages.

    Performed by Propaganda and featuring four exclusive original songs. 
In this debut collection of essays and poetry, musician, speaker, and activist Propaganda inspires us to create a better, more equitable world. 
“If we get to make the very cultures that shape who we are, then let us remake them in the best way possible.” 
In this deep, challenging, and thoughtful book, Propaganda looks at the ways in which our world is broken. Using the metaphor of terraforming—creating a livable world out of an inhospitable one—he shows how we can begin to reshape our homes, friendships, communities, and politics. 
In this transformative time—when we are redefining what a truly just and equitable world looks like, and reflecting on the work that needs to be done both in our spiritual and secular lives—Propaganda rallies readers to create that just world. He sheds light on how nefarious origin stories have skewed our views of ourselves and others and allowed gross injustices, and demonstrates how great storytelling and excellent art can create and shape new perspectives of the world and make all of us better. 
?Includes the songs "" IAGBTW (It Ain't Gotta Be This Way)”, "" The Soils Alive"", "" Us We "", and ""Imagine"" (featuring Nahoa Life) by Propaganda.

    Of Gouernment, the properties to vnfold, 
 Would seeme in me t'affect speech & discourse, 
 Since I am put to know, that your owne Science 
 Exceedes (in that) the lists of all aduice 
 My strength can giue you: Then no more remaines 
 But that, to your sufficiency, as your worth is able, 
 And let them worke : The nature of our People, 
 Our Cities Institutions, and the Termes 
 For Common Iustice, y'are as pregnant in 
 As Art, and practise, hath inriched any 
 That we remember : There is our Commission, 
 From which, we would not haue you warpe; call hither, 
 I say, bid come before vs Angelo: 
 What figure of vs thinke you, he will beare. 
 For you must know, we haue with speciall soule 
 Elected him our absence to supply; 
 Lent him our terror, drest him with our loue, 
 And giuen his Deputation all the Organs 
 Of our owne powre : What thinke you of it?
