Beschreibung

Nicholas Rowe's "Jane Shore" is a poignant tragedy that delves into themes of love, betrayal, and redemption set against the turbulent backdrop of 15th-century England. The play is crafted in a classic Restoration style, utilizing elevated language and rich poetic devices to convey the emotional depth of its characters. Rowe's nuanced portrayal of Jane Shore, a historical figure and mistress to King Edward IV, highlights the human condition's complexities and the societal constraints imposed on women during this era. By intertwining fact with dramatic imagination, Rowe situates the narrative within the broader context of English history, illuminating the intersection of personal choice and political intrigue. Nicholas Rowe (1674-1718), a pioneering figure in the Restoration drama movement, was also captivated by the historical narratives of his time. His education at Westminster School and subsequent experiences in the legal profession instilled in him a deep appreciation for both literature and history. Driven by a desire to revitalize the stage, Rowe drew from classical traditions while also seeking to reflect contemporary societal issues, evident in his profound characterization and moral inquiries. For readers and theater enthusiasts alike, "Jane Shore" is an essential exploration of early modern English drama, skillfully merging historical detail with empathetic narrative. Rowe's artistry not only invites audiences into the intimate struggles of its protagonist but also encourages critical reflection on the societal mores of both the past and present. This play remains a significant work for anyone interested in the evolution of theatrical storytelling.

    The Wolf poem :: was inspired by William Blake's - 'The Tyger'. 
    It has the same regular form & meter as The Tyger. 
    With tempo and stanza (of the quatrain type), and is about one single animal in the natural world. 
    Where it differs from William Blake's poem is that the Poem Tyger has more religious connotations, not surprising for the times in which it was written. 
    Whereas 'The Wolf' written by myself, has more of Natures influences. 
    It's also about the possible demise totally of the Wolf through man, and a warning of this. 
    As we take care of The Wolf and other similiar 'top predator' animals, 
    so we automatically take care of the natural habitat that they live in - something that is increasing in peoples consciousness today.

    After All We Have Travelled

    After All We Have Travelled,the debut poetry collection by Sarala Estruch, is a distinctive journey across time, continents and cultures, through memory and generations of family history, exploring the long legacies of empire and its personal and political effects. It is a story of intergenerational trauma, grief and disconnection, but it is also a story of the enduring power of love, of connection, and of embarking into motherhood.
    Combining elements of memoir, biography, and fiction with formal and experimental poetry, Estruch's work explores the losses incurred by forbidden interracial and intercultural marriage, and is a potent reclamation of voice, story, and mixed-race identity. An important, compelling collection, it asks: What or who is family? What or where is home? And like the modern rose – a hybrid species with origins spanning the globe – to where do we return?
    'After All We Have Travelled follows a young woman discovering her own complex history across cultures and languages, religions and lost histories. Where family mythologies meet silence, memory gives an emotive reasoning, singing into the void left by death and distance, using the lyric voice of self-making. This book charts a new terrain, a multiplicity of being mapped for future generations whose relationship to home is as yet unknown to its forebears.' – Sandeep Parmar

    the expectations they had built within the love they had

    just means that this love is no more

    Two Belfast lads, Mojo and Mickybo, relive the summer of 1970, when they were growing up in the city, playing headers, building huts and re-enacting cowboy movies.
    At first, their friendship is immune to the sectarian violence taking place around them. But nobody is safe from it forever...
    
    Owen McCafferty's play Mojo Mickybo is an unsentimental portrayal of innocence betrayed by communal hatred. It was first performed at Andrews Lane Studio, Dublin, in October 1998.
    The production subsequently toured in Ireland and Scotland in 1998 and 1999.
    A feature film version, Mickybo and Me, was released in 2004, adapted and directed by Terry Loane, with Julie Walters, Ciarán Hinds and Gina McKee in supporting roles.
    The play was revived at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2007, afterwards transferring to the Trafalgar Studios in the West End.
    'Mojo Mickybo marries the polished ferocity of Howie the Rookie with the chirpy candour of Disco Pigs... This play is an energising reminder of the fact that all you need for truly magical theatre is a writer inspired by the thought of the stories that can be made on the stage' - Scotsman
    'A glorious, vivid little play full of verbal swagger... creates vast emotional ripples... small but lethal' - Guardian
