Last Call - A True Story of PTSD...

Dylan Blake Shields

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Last Call is a raw, unfiltered memoir about trauma, survival, and the brutal road to recovery. Dylan Shields, a decorated medic, firefighter, and safety director, spent his life saving others on battlefields, in burning buildings, and in disaster zones. But when the adrenaline faded and the silence set in, he found himself face-to-face with a new enemy: PTSD, addiction, and the demons that followed him home. 
Told with brutal honesty and deep humanity, Last Call takes readers inside the hidden battles of first responders and veterans—the unspoken grief, the guilt that lingers, and the coping mechanisms that nearly cost everything. From war-torn deployments to a vodka-soaked garage, this is the story of how one man fell apart, fought to get back up, and discovered that the mission was never just about saving others—it was about learning to save himself. 
For anyone who’s ever struggled in silence, this book is a lifeline. For everyone else, it’s a wake-up call.

Social Acupuncture

Darren O'Donnell

Theatre doesn’t have much relevance anymore. Or so acclaimed playwright Darren O’Donnell tells us. The dynamics of unplanned social interaction, he says, are far more compelling than any play he could produce. So his latest show, A Suicide-Site Guide to the City, isn’t really a show; it’s an interactive chitchat about memory, depression, and 9/11, a dazzling whirl of talking streetcars, pizza and schizophrenia. And it’s hilarious.
   
O’Donnell’s artistic practice has evolved into ‘something as close to hanging out as you can come and still charge admission.’ With his theatre company, Mammalian Diving Reflex, O’Donnell has generated a series of ongoing events that induce interactions between strangers in public; the Talking Creature, Q&A, Home Tours, the Toronto Strategy Meetings and Diplomatic Immunities bring people together in odd configurations, ask revealing questions and prove the generosity,abundance and power of the social sphere.
   
Social Acupuncture includes the full text of A Suicide-Site Guide to the City and an extensive essay on the waning significance of theatre and the notion of civic engagement and social interaction as an aesthetic.
   
‘No other playwright working in Toronto right now has O’Donnell’s talent for synthesizing psychosocial, artistic and political random thoughts and reflections into compelling analyses … The world (not to mention the theatre world) could use more of this, if only to get us talking and debating.’

The Epic Poems

William Shakespeare

Before the Stage, There Was the Page: Discover Shakespeare the Poet.

While the world knows William Shakespeare for his legendary plays, it was his sweeping narrative poems that first established him as a literary titan in the eyes of the Elizabethan elite. This collection brings together his longer, epic-style works—masterpieces of desire, betrayal, and political ruin that showcase a level of linguistic ornament and psychological intensity rarely seen on the stage.

This collection explores the pillars of Shakespeare's poetic genius:

The Master of Classical Adaptation: Witness the Bard reimagining the myths of ancient Rome and Greece, breathing fresh, visceral life into tales of tragic desire and legendary honor.

The Psychology of the Verse: Experience the internal monologues of characters caught in moments of extreme crisis, rendered with the same complexity found in his greatest dramatic soliloquies.

Formal Perfection: Explore his command of demanding poetic structures, from the flowing "Sesta Rima" to the stately "Rhyme Royal," demonstrating a technical virtuosity that defined the English Renaissance.

Themes of Power and Virtue: Delve into narratives that examine the corruption of authority and the resilience of the human spirit, serving as a poetic mirror to the political tensions of his time.

Shakespeare's epic poems offer a richer, more descriptive immersion into his world than his scripts alone. They are essential for anyone seeking the full breadth of his literary legacy and linguistic beauty.

Experience the Bard's most intimate and ornate creations. Buy "The Epic Poems of William Shakespeare" today and complete your library of the world's greatest writer.

Age is a Feeling (NHB Modern Plays)

Haley McGee

Your life from the day you turn twenty-five through to your death. All the chances you get to change course and all the things you leave unsaid.
Inspired by interviews with hospice workers, conversations with mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling is a gripping story that wrestles with the glorious and melancholy uncertainties of human life. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret, it's an uplifting exploration of chance, morality and living with verve.
First performed at Summerhall during the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Haley McGee's one-person play was produced by Soho Theatre and directed by Adam Brace. Each performance was shaped by random selections made by the audience. This published edition, illustrated by Jason Logan, contains the full text of the play and offers readers a complete experience, as well as a blueprint for future performances.
