  Fifteen-year-old Billie has lived with her dad in their little flat for as long as she can remember, but all that's about to change. She's got big plans – get Dad a job, sort out her grades, and live in a house with five bathrooms.
  But one reckless night threatens to undo all her hard work and derail her ambitions… When it's always been just the two of you, how easy is it to get out, or to let anyone else in?
  A moving portrayal of what happens when those you should depend on need you more than you need them, Yous Two premiered at Hampstead Downstairs, London, in 2018.
  Yous Two is Georgia Christou's debut play. It was shortlisted for the Verity Bargate Award.

  Christmas Poetry - A Season In...

  Christmas, they say, comes but once a year. In these days it seems to also last for much of that year but this volume is not just for Christmas! For the religious amongst us this annual celebration of the Birth of Christ must seem bitter sweet; it’s acknowledgment by billions of people countered by the pervasive spread of material possessions translating the event to little more than a sales pitch for their own wares. Most religions celebrate their founders but Christianity seems somehow to have lost possession of one of its key rituals in an ever more secular West. The spread of globalisation seems to have hindered rather than helped the true meaning of the festival. Children today are much more interested in what presents they might receive than any spiritual message. As parents too, most of us buy into this and indulge our offspring rather than instil the underlying themes and aims of the festival’s meaning common to us all. In this collection we rely on the words and wisdom of such fine poets as John Milton, Emily Dickinson, Sir Walter Scott, Daniel Sheehan, Wordsworth, Longfellow and a whole host of others to absorb us in a Christmas time of hope and togetherness. The experiences and memories they share with us speak of a time, of a world that did have a common purpose and an ambition to share good fortune with everyone. This selection is read for you by Ghizela Rowe and Tim Graham.

  In the third installment of the Pelican Beach series, Payton and Cole are back, and they're ready to commence their union. It sounds easy enough, but will life circumstances keep them apart? 
  The theme of new beginnings continues as Rebecca and Ethan prepare to welcome their firstborn. However, these two have a lot more to figure out besides navigating parenthood. With the clock winding down before the baby's arrival, will they decide to make things official by getting married? 
  Lastly, we can't forget about Cole's mother, Alice. She spent many years looking after the family. She's been the perfect grandmother, and supportive when Cole needed her most. But it's been a long time since she's had someone to call her own. Will she continue her life's journey as a single woman? Or perhaps find herself in the middle of a love triangle? 
  The Matthews are back, and they're sure to take you on a journey. You might find yourself crying, laughing, or ready to give a character a piece of your mind. Either way, pull up a beach chair and get ready to be entangled in A Pelican Beach Affair.

  The Skin Diary

  Abegail Morley's The Skin Diary confronts loss in its many forms with unwavering and astonishing clarity, an incandescent thread running through every line that makes each alive with fierce and steely energy.
  Here are alert and lyrical poems that hunt out imperfect hiding places, conjure up imaginary sisters and try to contain near-impossible sorrows that spill out of carrier bags and fill up archives. New skins and old disguises are stitched together, the fabric of life tries to hold fast whilst all else unravels and comes apart at the seams. The Skin Diary documents the sometimes fragile and strange windfalls of our days and months; through hard times and thin ice, this journal is bleakly wry, brilliantly focused and brimming with uncanny and discomforting turns of event.
  '...ghostly, visceral, and unflinching poems.' – Penelope Shuttle
  'The Skin Diarysomehow finds words for the ineffable in its search for hope and understanding.' – Martin Figura
  '...here is a poet who can hold her nerve and her entire psychological landscape within each multifariously conceived and consciously humane line.' – Melissa Lee-Houghton
