  Mary E. Mann does not flinch. In Little Brother, she leads us by the hand into a world where hunger is constant, sorrow is routine, and the arrival of a child is met with neither joy nor mourning—just another mouth, another burden, another resignation. Yet even in this bleakness, life goes on, in ways both unsettling and eerily familiar. A stark, unflinching glimpse into the realities of the forgotten, this story is as haunting as it is quietly devastating.

  Raffish, urbane and frequently drunk, David Highland has kept a grip on his remote coastal parish through a combination of disordered charm and high-handed determination.
  When his faith impels him to take a hard line with a bereaved parishioner, he finds himself dangerously isolated from public opinion. As his own family begins to fracture, David must face a future that threatens to extinguish not only his position in the town, but everything he stands for.
  Stephen Beresford's play The Southbury Child is a darkly comic drama exploring family and community, the savage divisions of contemporary society, and the rituals that punctuate our lives. It was co-produced by Chichester Festival Theatre and the Bridge Theatre, London, in 2022, starring Alex Jennings and directed by Nicholas Hytner.

  Born in England – Exploring...

  Christopher Marlowe, Sir Philip...

  Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury to shoemaker John Marlowe and his wife Catherine. His exact date of birth is not known, but he was baptised on 26 February 1564.  
  And with this, Christopher Marlowe, one of the supreme English literary talents, made his entrance into the world.   
  Little is really known of his life except that from an early age, even at University, he was perhaps working as a spy.  His short life was filled with writing great works of exceptional quality. From the Jew of Malta to Doctor Faustus and Tamburlaine the Great Parts I & II his pen was the tool by which this great mind bequeathed great works to the world. 
  Add to this so many other stories of what Marlowe was or might have been: a spy, a brawler, a heretic, a "magician", "duellist", "tobacco-user", "counterfeiter", “atheist”, and "rakehell". 
  But certainly add to this; playwright and poet. An original. 
  Christopher Marlowe was buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard of St. Nicholas, Deptford on June 1st, 1593. 
  Had his life not been so curtailed it seems that the Elizabethan Age may well have had two giants of equal standing: Shakespeare and Marlowe.
