Wink (NHB Modern Plays)

Phoebe Eclair-Powell

Sinopse

An electrifying drama about what happens to personal identity in an age of ubiquitous technology and social media.
John is a twenty-seven-year-old teacher 'who probably wasn't allowed to teach at an all-girls' school' and Mark is his sixteen-year-old 'Olympic porn-watching' pupil. A normal week in their normal lives - school, eat, TV, sleep, repeat.
Except in an age of twisted technology and unfettered profiles, the life Mark really wants is only a click away' but what happens when that life already belongs to John? By Friday, the shit really is going to hit the fan.
Two interlinking monologues, WINK examines two lives veering dangerously close to collision, asking us what separates the man from the boy.
WINK, Phoebe Eclair-Powell's debut play, was first produced by Tara Finney Productions and Theatre503, and premiered at Theatre503, London, in March 2015.

Losing Venice (NHB Modern Plays)

Joe Clifford

An epic fable set in the faraway Spanish Golden Age.
When a Duke from Spain embarks on a military adventure to save Venice and his reputation, the consequences are not what he expects...
Jo Clifford's play Losing Venice is a joyously original, witty take-down of dangerously daft machismo and the deranged behaviour of countries that have lost an empire and still not yet found a role.
Losing Venice was first performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 1985. It was revived at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in September 2018.
'A truly outstanding first stage play' - New Statesman

God of Carnage

Yasmina Reza

Winner of the 2009 Tony Award®, God of Carnage is a brash and hilarious exploration of human nature.

After one 11-year-old is hit by another, their parents meet to find a mature resolution. As the evening wears on, the veneer of civility degenerates. What begins as protective parenting ends as an excuse to let loose the primordial beast buried in each of us.

42 Wacky Poems - 42 Wacky Poems

J.R. Carlson

WARNING: This book is crazy and weird! It's worse than your uncle's scraggly beard! It's about old time cashiers, aliens and fish. When you're finished you will wish that you did something else; like eat grapes from a dish. There are much better things to do with your time then get addicted to these catchy rhymes. But if you have a minute or two then I'd love to entertain you. It's the most random book you'll ever read. It's about cheerleaders, drummers and even a steed! It even mentions God a time or two but please don't let that offend you. There's plenty of mischief to balance it out. No need to cry, scream or shout unless you catch a giant 400 pound trout! Haha! Enjoy!
