  It's 1874, and Elizabeth Thompson stuns the artistic establishment with her painting The Roll Call. Five years later, she falls two votes short of becoming the first woman elected to the Royal Academy.
  In between, she shoulders the hopes and dreams of female artists across the country, while fighting for her place at a table full of top hats, neckties and mutton chop beards.
  A thrilling collision of music hall, cabaret and drag king swagger, Modest tells the true story of a pioneering megastar of the Victorian art scene. Written by Ellen Brammar and with music by Rachel Barnes, it was first produced in 2023 by Middle Child in collaboration with Milk Presents at Hull Truck Theatre before touring.

  Long-term unemployed Tommy McMillan joins a government-funded retraining scheme, "Up the Ladder".

The department gets more than they bargained for; however, when they discover just how far up the ladder Tommy is expecting to go. 
  Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis, and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of politics, King of Scotland is an outrageous Fringe First-winning monologue.

  A Dangerous Prophet for Dangerous Times! 
  (Author's Narration) 
  Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath. 
  But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven! 
  In the spirit of Dante, Shakespeare, and Homer, this epic poem relives the stunning miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament—fed by ravens, raising the dead, commanding the rain, calling down fire from Heaven, outrunning horses, ascending to Heaven. 
  But along with all this, the author weaves a rich thread of mythological influences: shapeshifting goddesses, shamanic journeys, dueling dragons, Queen Jezebel's seductions, and dissension in the ranks of the royal bodyguard. 
  Saucy yet sacred, this timeless tale takes wing in the poet's pen, the poet's voice! 
  "Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance.” 
  Karen Siddall 
  "The telling was riveting, and you don’t need to know the story ahead of time to be moved by it.” 
  Kit Donner 
  “LeRoy has a great talent for writing an epic poem, and his hypnotic voice lends grandly to the narration of the story.” 
  Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews, Top 10 Books of 2018 
  "An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer’s freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining." 
  San Francisco Review of Books

  Wales – The Poetry Of - An Introduction.  This proud nation with it’s long history; sometimes rough, hewn from bleak landscapes, sometimes gently soft from its comforting voices has produced a long succession of artists and poets.  In the latter category Louis MacNeice most probably stands pre-eminent, his words and phrasing are on a plane few can equal and most are in awe of.  But in this volume we do put forward others who have their own words and voice to add to this rich tapestry.  Wilfred Owen, Henry Vaughan, George Herbert and Edward Thomas amongst them.
