Sinopsis

In "Christabel" and "Kubla Khan: A Vision in a Dream," Samuel Taylor Coleridge intricately weaves themes of fantasy, the supernatural, and the exploration of the human psyche. Characterized by its lush imagery and lyrical quality, the collections showcase Coleridge's profound engagement with Romanticism, seeking to evoke emotion through vivid and surreal landscapes. "Christabel" intricately delves into the dichotomy of innocence and seduction, while "Kubla Khan" presents a dreamlike vision of an opulent and enigmatic ruler, reflecting the interplay between creativity and the subconscious mind amidst the backdrop of opium-induced inspiration. Together, these poems encapsulate Coleridge's artistry and philosophical inquiries into the nature of existence and experience. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of the central figures of the Romantic movement, was greatly influenced by his own tumultuous life experiences, including struggles with addiction and a deep-seated sense of spirituality. His intellectual partnership with contemporaries such as William Wordsworth and his quest for artistic authenticity motivated him to explore the boundaries of perception through poetic forms. Coleridge'Äôs own mystical experiences often informed his writing, enabling him to craft works that evoke wonder and contemplation in readers. "Christabel & Kubla Khan" invites readers to traverse the depths of Coleridge's imaginative landscapes and psychological intricacies, making it an essential study for those interested in Romantic literature and the exploration of the human condition. This collection not only showcases the beauty of Coleridge's language but also reveals the timeless truths and mysteries of life that continue to resonate with readers today.

    A group of teenagers, their lives shaped by billions of seemingly random events going back to before they were born, come together onstage to share stories about their past, their present, and what might lie ahead.
    When This Is Over is a uniquely personal, theatrical celebration of hope, possibility and imagination. It's about how we can work with chaos, and embrace our collective imagination as we prepare for a deeply uncertain future – together.
    Originally conceived by Company Three – and developed alongside more than fifty other youth theatres across the UK – When This Is Over is a play designed to be created and performed by teenage casts, drawing directly on their own life experiences and the stories they want to tell. As with Company Three's widely performed youth-theatre play Brainstorm, the script is a blueprint for an amazing theatrical adventure.
    This published edition contains a series of exercises and activities for schools, youth-theatre groups and community companies to create and perform their own unique productions, and also features the complete script of Company Three's version, which was performed at The Yard, London, in 2022.
    When This Is Over was named Community Project of the Year at The Stage Awards, and Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards.

    “In the vast expanse of the Algerian desert, an adventurer embarks on a solitary journey to explore ancient temples hidden among the dunes. As he delves into the ruins, he uncovers engravings on the walls that hint at a civilization far more advanced than ours, one that predates history as we know it. Suddenly, he’s whisked away by unseen forces and comes face-to-face with these ancient beings. In a twist of fate, he learns the secret behind their diminished stature, as they have evolved into beings of small form but immense intellect, a stark contrast to their grand legacy etched in stone.”

    Benjamin "Ben" Jonson was born in June, 1572. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays; Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, and his equally accomplished lyric poems.  
    A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, including time in jail and a penchant for switching faiths, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. 
    In 1616 Jonson was appointed by King James I to receive a yearly pension of £60 to become what is now recognised as the post of the first official Poet Laureate.    
    He died on the 6th of August, 1637 at Westminster and is buried in the north aisle of the nave at Westminster Abbey. 
    A master of both playwriting and poetry his reputation continues to endure and reach a new audience with each succeeding generation.
