Synopsis

"The Rivals" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a comedic play that navigates the complexities of love and mistaken identities in 18th century society. Set in Bath, the story follows the romantic entanglements of Lydia Languish, who desires a love affair akin to those in her beloved novels. Her aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, aims to arrange a match for her with the wealthy but socially awkward Captain Absolute. However, Lydia is enamored with the penniless Ensign Beverly, who is none other than Captain Absolute in disguise to win her affections genuinely. The play unfolds with hilarious miscommunications, witty wordplay, and absurd characters like the linguistically challenged Mrs. Malaprop. As the characters converge at Mrs. Malaprop's estate, lies unravel, true identities are revealed, and love triumphs over societal pretensions. Through clever dialogue and satire, Sheridan explores the themes of love, pretension, and social manners, delivering a delightful comedy of errors.

    The audiobook of Tim Key's least ambitious project to date. A slim book of the crap he’s been churning out over the past eighteen months.  
    Poems about men getting stuck in webs, poems about the ancient city of Canterbury, poems about canoodling with a rose.  
    A prolific sod, he’s selected ninety of his trademark vignettes and packed them off to Emily Juniper for her to fling onto pages and shape into a book.  
    Discussions ensued about what, if anything, the point of it all was, and a healthy debate as to whether it should be broken up into chapters and, if so, why. All of these discussions are documented in the leftover space around the poems. The result is a splurge of words which very occasionally shine a light on modern times.  
    It is the third book Tim and Emily have generated together. 
    Chapters by Tim Key. 
    Read by Tim Key with Katy Wix as Emily Juniper. 
    Produced, recorded and edited by Naomi Parnell.

    "Stories From The Faerie Queene" is a retelling or abridged version of Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene," which is a richly imaginative allegorical work dedicated to celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. The poem, originally published in the late 16th century, weaves tales of knights, dragons, maidens, and quests to represent virtues and human struggles. The stories within are adaptations of Spenser's intricate stanzas into prose or shorter narratives that make the text more accessible while maintaining its magical and moral complexity.

    Bringing the Shovel Down maps the long and arduous process of being inculcated with the mythologies of state and power, the ramifications of that inculcation (largely, the loss of our humanity in the service of maintaining those mythologies), and finally, what it might mean, what it might provide us, if we were to transform those myths. The book, finally, has one underlying question: How might we better love one another?
