  'I'm going to answer all your wishes, bubba! Big or small, it'll be me who makes them come true, no one else.'
  Leila is happy living at home with Noor, her loving but traditional grandmother. But when Aleena, her fiercely independent mother, returns home from prison determined to deliver a new world of fun and excitement, their calm lives are upended in a blur of nail varnish and sweet treats.
  Family secrets come tumbling into the light, and Leila finds the task of deciding on her future more difficult than she first thought.
  Ambreen Razia's play Favour is a touching and hopeful family drama about a working-class Muslim family, tackling duty, addiction and the challenge of pulling yourself back together after it all falls apart. It was a Bush Theatre and Clean Break co-production and premiered at the Bush, London, in 2022, directed by Róisín McBrinn and Sophie Dillon Moniram.

  Unlock the power of the Indian accent and bring your characters to life with authenticity and confidence. Whether you're preparing for a specific role or expanding your range as an actor, mastering this accent can set you apart in auditions and on screen. This audio-based training guides you through every step, helping you sound natural, nuanced, and believable — without falling into stereotypes. 
  The course breaks down the unique sound patterns of Indian-accented English, teaching you how to shape vowels, soften consonants, and replicate the musical rhythm that defines the accent. You'll learn how regional languages influence speech, giving your delivery a natural flow that goes beyond surface imitation.

By connecting the accent to character and context, you'll avoid clichés and build performances that feel grounded and authentic. 
  Every lesson is crafted with actors in mind, combining technical precision with practical exercises. Dialogue practice helps you integrate the accent into performance, preparing you for auditions, rehearsals, and on-camera work.

  Come join me in the hilarious romp that is The Tinker's Wedding by J.M. Synge, a story of two young tinkers trying to con a travelling holy man into marrying them, all while their mother is constantly trying to satiate her indomitable thirst for drink, thereby inadvertently causing more problems than the drink is worth. Blaming, miscommunication, and utter tomfoolery ensues, leading to the final culmination of each party getting ready to pounce on each other's necks and outrageously strangle each other Saturday-morning-cartoon style. Come witness both sincerity and hilarity being wrapped up in this tight but brilliantly crafted two act drama-comedy.

  Traveling Salesman's Son

  William Bernhardt

  In his latest collection, William Bernhardt again demonstrates that he is a true poet, one whose work accomplishes the difficult task of being both accessible and profound. He communicates with grace and illumination, avoiding the obscurity and obfuscation that sometimes causes readers to avoid modern poetry. He writes about the subjects that matter most: personal relationships, family, children, and the challenges of everyday life. Bernhardt is a poet who appeals even to those who think they don't like poetry and is cherished by those who do. 
  While addressing subjects of everlasting import, Bernhardt's poems are engaging, relevant, and sometimes playful, reminiscent of beloved predecessors such as Billy Collins and Robert Frost. Readers will be struck by the versatility of the poems and the wide range of form. Smart, lyrical, observant, and textured, these poems explain why Rilla Askew (Kind of Kin) called Bernhardt "a compelling new voice in American poetry" and R.C. Davis-Undiamo (World Literature Today) named him one of "the nation's literary treasures." 
  "William Bernhardt writes with warmth, wit, and a clear desire to commune with his reader. Whether he is working in free verse or in meter and rhyme, Bernhardt makes of poetry a way of connecting person to person. Like Montaigne, Bernhardt is a man consubstantial with his book, and the full range of human feeling is on display in these poems with great honesty and ardent empathy." —Benjamin Meyers, OK Poet Laureate, Crouch-Mathis Professor of Literature, OBU
