  Arthur Ransome's famous and much-loved children's classic is brought thrillingly to life in Helen Edmundson's wonderfully theatrical adaptation, with 'delightfully catchy and often witty' (Telegraph) songs by Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy.

  Presented here are the complete stories and poems of Winnie-the-Pooh, as originally conceived and published by his creator, the legendary children’s book author A.A. Milne.   Pooh and all of his friends are here: Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo and, of course, Christopher Robin.  As they explore the Hundred Acre Wood, they have all sorts of adventures: tracking the Heffalump, visiting with Rabbit (and getting stuck in a Very Tight Place), dressing up as a little black rain cloud to get honey from the bees and even going on an "expotition" to the North Pole!  Along with these tales are two full collections of Milne's poems which have gone on to become some of the most beloved verses in all of children's literature.   The complete Pooh collection:  Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

  An inimitably warm and stylish play that deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations.
  Tommy's not a bad man, he's getting by. Renting a run-down room in his uncle Maurice's house, just about keeping his ex-wife and kids at arm's length and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc. Then one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, who's not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how.
  Their past won't let go easily. But together there's a glimmer of hope they could make something more of their lives. Something extraordinary. Perhaps.
  The Night Alive premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London in June 2013, directed by Conor McPherson.

  When 'intimidating' Rachel and eternal 'nice guy' Nick meet at an awkward work Christmas party, what was meant to be a one-night-stand becomes a sexual odyssey of self-discovery… and mutual destruction.
  Adrift, isolated and insecure, they scramble for new ways to connect. Can some playful, passionate pegging provide a pathway through the pitfalls of modern relationships and present the possibility of a deeper bond?
  A penetrating comedy about the search for sexual knowledge, true love and top-notch Tupperware, Lisa Carroll's play The Misandrist was first produced by Metal Rabbit Productions at the Arcola Theatre, London, in May 2023.
  'A witty dramedy that explores the contemporary search for intimacy… portrays male vulnerability exceptionally well… The writing is delightfully caustic and acerbic… precise, political, unforgiving… unceasingly entertaining' - Broadway World
  'Funny and frank… revelling in its exuberance and the celebration of sexuality… there's a great energy to the show and it offers plenty of saucy humour' - Reviews Hub
  'A no-holds-barred insight into contemporary relationships, laced with sharp lines and dark humour… a zeitgeisty play that shows great promise, and confirms Carroll as a writer to watch' - WhatsOnStage
  'Powerful with some very funny lines... has attitude to spare' - Time Out
  'A smart, passionate and deeply knotty relationship dramedy… alive with warmth and wit… refreshingly transgressive… the writing has a real jagged edge… lays bare the many complications of modern life' - Lost in Theatreland

  This “magnificent and authoritative work” presents the complete verse of Scotland’s National Bard with extensive textual and historical notes (Colm Toibin, The Independent, UK). Best known for poems such as “A Red, Red Rose” and “Ae Fond Kiss,” and for the song “Auld Lang Synge,” which is sung around the world every New Years’ Eve, Robert Burns was one of the most important poets of the 18th century. A major influence on the Romantic poetry movement, Burns is still beloved across Scotland, with Burns Night celebrated every January 25th. This complete volume of the writer’s poetry and songs includes previously unpublished pieces, draws on extensive scholarship and Burn’s own letters, and offers supplemental information about his life, early hardships, political beliefs, and literary contexts. An extensive glossary of Scots words is included.“A very fine edition, and the long introduction, which sets out to clear the tangled banks, is alone worth the cover price.”—The Scotsman, UK
