Beschreibung

A haunting story of youth, beauty, and the darkness that lurks within. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde is a timeless exploration of vanity and morality, guaranteed to captivate and intrigue.
Dorian Gray is a man whose charm and beauty enchant everyone around him. When a mysterious portrait is painted of him, he makes a fateful wish—to remain eternally youthful while his portrait ages in his place. This desire for eternal beauty comes at a high price as Dorian finds himself descending into a world of vice, corruption, and moral decay.
Oscar Wilde's only novel is a masterful journey through the desires of the human heart, the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure, and the chilling consequences of unchecked vanity. With sharp wit and stunning prose, Wilde weaves a suspenseful narrative that explores the duality of the human soul—the allure of perfection on the outside versus the darkness within.
Whether you are a fan of gothic fiction, philosophical musings, or simply enjoy a riveting classic, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a story that will keep you captivated from the first page to the last.

    "Rejoice, readers, as you receive the generosity of Luci Shaw's 76 new grace-infused parable poems. Autobiography once more merges with theology as these poems illuminate in splendored natural detail  how the seasons of creation  parallel and explain the seasons of her  life as a poet. Again and again, these poems shower us with glorious epiphanies from the natural world as it reflects God's generosity at work such as "spring's impossible news of green." These poems confirm that in poetry as in faith "ripeness is all." Like Wordsworth, Luci is celebrated for being a highly gifted landscape poet whose works are rich in imagery from the physical world—meadows filled with seeds, flowers, and also poems which are like "shoots" in Luci's writing life. Animals, too, great and small (beetles, cricket, and voles to bears and whales) play a major role in Luci's poetics of creation; God is likened to a great bear who leaves paw tracks for us to follow. In their deep faith and vibrant colors and designs, the poems in Generosity might be considered Luci's Book of Kells. We need to be like Luci's father who carried her poems in his briefcase to show his friends." —Philip C. Kolin, Author, Reaching Forever: Poems; Distinguished Professor of English (Emeritus), University of Southern Mississippi

    'A garden without a traditional English rose is a cardinal sin – and I committed eight of those before my Ready Brek'
    Nineteen-year-old Pip is trying to find themselves through gardening. But with a dad more interested in plants than people and a mum stuck in the past, they're left to ponder life's questions alone.
    Then one day, they uncover a jacket in the attic that's been gathering dust. Bold, vibrant and very '80s, in its pocket lies a diary belonging to someone long gone. Swept up in the mystery, Pip digs into the past, unearthing secrets about an old friend their parents don't want to discuss…

It was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award in 2023 and premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Debbie Hannan and starring Omari Douglas, Pooky Quesnel and Wil Johnson alongside the playwright.
