Beschreibung

Noel Coward's 'I'll Leave It To You' is a deftly woven comedic play that embodies the spirit of 1920s British theatre, characterized by its wit and incisive social commentary. The plot revolves around a young couple attempting to manage their family inheritance, only to be interrupted by a quirky ensemble of characters that reflect Coward's sharp observations of class and societal norms. The play's literary style is marked by Coward's signature blend of breezy dialogue and humor, while its context lies within the burgeoning modernist movement, critiquing the moral undertones of post-World War I society through an engagingly lighthearted lens. Noel Coward, a prolific playwright, actor, and composer, was known for his acute perception of human relationships and societal structure. His early life, marked by a blend of upper-middle-class upbringing and exposure to the entertainment world, shaped his unique voice and perspective. 'I'll Leave It To You' was written at a pivotal moment in Coward's career, allowing him to explore themes of love, wealth, and the absurdities of life with a light touch, distinguishing him as a master of comedic drama. This play is highly recommended for readers interested in theatre that skillfully balances humor with deeper social insights. Coward'Äôs work continues to resonate with audiences today, beckoning both casual readers and theatre enthusiasts to appreciate the interplay of laughter and introspection within the corridors of contemporary society.

    In Open Mouths Sharan Hunjan presents a vision of a world simultaneously familiar and strikingly strange. The quotidian, the domestic, the commonplace are interrogated and manipulated through the poet's eye for detail, linguistic sense of play and restless imaginative and philosophical impulses. The shortcomings of language, the gulf between words and meaning, between experience and description, the space between translation, between places, between generations—these are the problems with which Hunjan grapples. Full of seemingly quiet, yet startlingly profound thought, razor-sharp wordplay, raw emotion and dazzling image and phrase-making, Open Mouths marks the emergence of another stellar talent from the 4 BROWN GIRLS WHO WRITE stable.

    The Telling by Julia Webb is a distinctive and acutely-observed collection of poems that unravel the intricacies at the heart of human relationships – an insistent, quietly fierce tour de force from this Forward Prize commended poet. Moving and dark, we uncover the things that go unspoken between people despite their closeness.
    In turning her forensic focus on what makes us human, and in particular what it is that glues us together or causes us to come apart, Julia Webb's poetry examines the wreckage of complex lives to understand where the fault lines and fractures lie. What are the stories that construct our families and relationships, and who gets to tell them? Can we trust the stories we inherit, and what happens when we recover the right to tell things for ourselves? These compelling, taut poems crackle with the electricity of the untold – of flawed humans and hurt, of daring and being, of reclaiming and persisting.

    “In poetic prose, I revisit the scars of childhood abuse, molding me into a hollow shell of womanhood. Navigating immigrant pressures, cultures clash, tugging me in divergent paths. Unraveling buried trauma, self-destruction consumed, shattering false identities. Intuition emerges as my guide, leading through mystical realms to rebirth. From unworthiness to purpose-seeking, I rise, embracing happiness, truth, and destiny’s dance.” —From the author   This is the author’s poetic recollection of being abused as a child and how the aftermath shaped her to live her life as a shell of a woman. She takes the reader through the front seat of her mind as she navigates the pressures of being the daughter of brown immigrants and how the clash of cultures pushed and pulled her in different directions. Discovering the trauma stored in her body, self-destruction from the inside led to the inevitable death of her false self. Learning to trust her intuition and the universe, getting lost and found in the world of magic and her prophetic dreams, ultimately guided her to the rebirth of an awakened identity. She went from not feeling worthy enough to live, to searching for her purpose, pulling herself out of the hole, finding her happiness, and never looking back. She learned to live her truth, love herself, and instinctively play with her fate.
