  'I know it's difficult. You've obviously been a good friend to her but it's time to let us take over now.'
  Es and Flo fell fiercely in love in the eighties. They've been living as secret lovers ever since. As Es becomes more forgetful around their home, an unexpected carer arrives. Who sent this woman? Why? And can they trust her?
  As the outside world comes crashing in, Flo fights to protect the life they've built together over forty years behind closed doors. And faces the hardest battle of her life – to hold on to the woman she loves.
  Jennifer Lunn's play Es & Flo is a sharply observed, deeply compassionate drama, coloured with memories of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. It celebrates an older lesbian relationship, women coming together to fight for what's right, and the healing power of chosen family.
  The play was produced by Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, and opened there in 2023 before moving to Kiln Theatre, London, directed by Susie McKenna. It won the Popcorn Group Writing Award and the Nancy Dean Lesbian Playwriting Award.

  Martín Fierro by José Hernández is one of the most celebrated works of Argentine literature and a powerful epic poem that captures the spirit, struggles, and cultural identity of the gauchos—the legendary horsemen of the South American plains. First published in 1872, this masterpiece stands as a defining work of Latin American literary tradition and a profound reflection on freedom, injustice, and resilience. 📜🐎
  
  The poem tells the story of Martín Fierro, a humble gaucho who lives a simple life on the vast pampas of Argentina. Fierro enjoys the independence of rural life until he is unjustly forced into military service on the frontier, where he must defend remote settlements against constant threats and harsh conditions. Stripped of his freedom and dignity, he experiences the cruelty and neglect of authorities who exploit and abandon the very people they claim to protect.
  
  After escaping this oppressive situation, Martín Fierro returns home only to find his life and family destroyed. With nothing left to lose, he becomes an outlaw wandering across the pampas, struggling to survive in a society that has pushed him to the margins. Along his journey, he confronts violence, betrayal, and loneliness, while also demonstrating courage, loyalty, and a deep sense of honor.
  
  Written in the style of traditional gaucho songs, the poem reflects the oral storytelling traditions of rural Argentina. Hernández uses powerful language, rhythm, and vivid imagery to portray the hardships faced by gauchos while criticizing the social injustices of the time. Through Fierro's voice, the work expresses the frustrations of those living far from the centers of power, whose lives were shaped by poverty, displacement, and harsh frontier laws.
  
  More than just a story of one man's struggle, Martín Fierro became a symbol of Argentine national identity and the enduring spirit of the gaucho culture. Its themes of independence, dignity, and resistance to injustice resonated deeply with readers and helped establish it as a cornerstone of Latin American literature.
  
  Today, Martín Fierro remains a timeless epic that continues to inspire readers with its powerful storytelling and cultural significance. 🇦🇷📚 Through the unforgettable voice of its wandering hero, José Hernández created a lasting tribute to the resilience, pride, and freedom-loving spirit of the Argentine pampas.
