Sinossi

In "An Ideal Husband," Oscar Wilde masterfully weaves a tale that explores themes of political ambition, moral integrity, and the complexities of marriage in Victorian society. Set against the backdrop of London's elite, the play employs Wilde's signature wit and epigrammatic style to critique social conventions and hypocrisy. Through the character of Sir Robert Chiltern, Wilde challenges the audience to consider the conflicts between public persona and private ethics, ultimately posing significant questions about the nature of trust and fidelity. The interplay of scandal, deception, and redemption creates a poignant narrative that resonates with the intricacies of human relationships. Oscar Wilde, an iconic figure of the late 19th century, was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and sharp intellect. His own experiences with societal rejection, as well as his keen observations of the upper classes, profoundly informed the intricate characterizations and moral dilemmas within this play. Having faced personal tribulations surrounding reputation and identity, Wilde's exploration of these themes in "An Ideal Husband" reflects his critical stance on social mores and the sometimes superficial nature of public life. A compelling exploration of morality and love, "An Ideal Husband" is recommended for readers who appreciate sharp dialogue and layered storytelling. Wilde's incisive critiques of society, combined with his gift for humor, create a timeless piece that challenges readers to reflect on their own ideals and the nature of personal integrity.

    Winner of the 2024 New Poets Prize, judged by Holly Hopkins.
    A gold bangle, a barber's shop and Diana Princess of Wales in an Indian wedding video. In Lobe, Cia Mangat navigates what we inherit and what we leave behind in a book which plays with private and public mythologies. These poems create a world of love and surveillance, where Diana's revenge dress prepares for the paparazzi and aunties gossip in the threading parlor. Bodies are pierced and cut from magazines while the wedding halls beckon. Lobe is a book of resistance and reimagining, where Di escapes her buttercream wedding, a woman shaves her head and 'george michael will sing every song you have ever wanted to you /directly accompanied by hundreds of thousands of people you love'.
