  A moving collection of poetry about navigating mid-life, full of humour and wit, from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor.
  		 
  This debut poetry collection from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor is both an intimate deep dive and a humorous glance at the tumultuous decade of her forties. Through crisp and vivid language, Doctor explores mid-life breakups and dating, female genital cutting, imprints of racism and misogyny, and the oddness of sex and love, and urges us to take a second look at the ways in which human relationships are never what we expect them to be.

  An examination of the ties that hold us together in a fractured society.
  In a decaying pub in South London, preparations are being made for a wake. With only an hour before their guests arrive, a family begin to settle their accounts. The ghosts of lives lived and opportunities missed are laid to rest as new and ancient betrayals are confronted and forgiven.
  'coarse, tart and funny' - The Times
  'DC Moore is the laureate of disappointed blokes in boozers and Jim is one of his most accurate, compassionate inventions' - Time Out
  'a savvy, worldly piece about deception and loyalty. Moore is one of the best thirty-something playwrights around, an expert analyst of half-truths and human weakness' - Evening Standard

  In Milk Snake, Toby Buckley invites us to look at the world from a slightly different angle, where small things become unsettling if you look closely enough. The poet explores queerness, displacement and trauma through clear-voiced, deceptively gentle poems about fishermen, maggots and bees.
  bleary
  from sleep and warm
  water and no glasses
  i spot an uncertain comma
  sliding
  he drags his tail up my
  shower wall cumbersome
  and not unmaggotesque and i
  can see
  his guts
  or maybe it's
  his dinner

  A landmark play about sexual politics in colonial Africa and modern-day Britain, in which all our assumptions about sex and gender are stunningly exploded. First staged by Joint Stock and premiered in London at the Royal Court Theatre in 1979, it has since been staged all over the world.
  Set in both colonial Africa and modern-day Britain, Cloud Nine is about relationships - between women and men, men and men, women and women. It is about sex, work, mothers, Africa, power, children, grandmothers, politics, and money.
  'Sharp comedy and a serious purpose are splendidly combined... It unlocks the imagination, liberates the mind, and leaves you weak with laughter' Time Out
