A play set in a council house in a small Leicestershire town. Vincent's skiing on the Wii, Sheila's feeding her great-granddaughter McKenzie, and Kerry's getting on with the ironing. None of them are planning on voting in the election, but when Selina Snow rings the doorbell to canvas, perhaps she can change their minds, or they can change hers. This play was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, in 2010 as part of the Women, Power & Politics season.

The Great Gatsby: An Exquisitely Crafted 1920s American Tale of Life-Long Obsessions & Ceaseless Devotions “So, we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” On the prosperous Long Island shores sit the grand affluence of West Egg and East Egg — places where a sinister Gatsby’s mansion, with his mysterious mounds of gold and gin-filled parties, takes residence. Nobody knows who he really is. Or where he came from. No one even knows why he is so sickeningly rich. And, yet Daisy Buchanan feels like she knows him. She just might.

Scott Fitzgerald remains among the modern literary world’s best novels.In this delightfully titillating audiobook, you will:Explore one of the greatest novels ever writtenSink your teeth into the drama and perversion that permeate the world of the richWalk into an incorruptible dream filled with ill intentionsAnd so much more!

Liam and Fletch grew up together. Born on the same street. Best mates since primary. Inseparable. The only difference was while Fletch was getting suspended from school, Liam was studying. And now he's going to Oxford. But with Liam gone, who's going to keep Fletch out of trouble? Sorry, You're Not a Winner explores aspiration, social mobility and getting caught between classes. It asks: if 'making it' means leaving everything you know and everyone you love behind – what's the point? This powerful and striking play by Samuel Bailey was first produced in 2022 by Paines Plough and Theatre Royal Plymouth, in association with the University of Plymouth's School of Society and Culture, before touring nationally. 'An intricate and moving study of social mobility... gripping and nuanced... Bailey continues his development as one of the most socially engaged writers working in theatre today' - GuardianShow book

Poetry from beloved lead guitarist of the multi-platinum record selling legendary band Triumph Reinvention is a largely autobiographical collection of poetry — a project that followed on the heels of Rik Emmett retiring from a touring musician’s and college educator’s life in early 2019. Inside all of the slashes that define him — singer/songwriter/guitarist/rock star/teacher/columnist — writing has always been his strongest avocation, and the poetic style of “Ultra Talk,” in particular, offered a welcome spark for a songwriter’s freedom of expression. This creative license is organized under seven headings – The Humanities, Life & Death, There’s Politics in Everything, Double Helix, Soapbox Sermonettes, Time Time Time, and Ars Nova 2020. Rik’s poetry (literally) reinvents his own retirement, and it’s not just some aging dilettante’s bucket list fancy. He discovered a sincere way to tie up a lot of loose ends, fulfill dormant promise, and eschew show biz tangents. Reinvention, his first book, makes some sense of a life that always went in a lot of different directions at once. Finally, he’s given himself permission to chase a mode of self-expression with less commercial potential … than jazz guitar recordings.Show book
