  Deborah Alma's debut poetry collection Dirty Laundry is raucous, daring and honest, drawing contemporary women's lives and those of our foremothers into the spotlight. It voices bold, feminist songs of praise: of persistence, survival, adventures of sexual rediscovery, each reclaiming the space to speak its mind and be heard and seen. A perfect remedy for the heartsick and weary, Alma's intimate and particular poems are resolute enchantments, a form of robust magic.
  The collection brims with poems which are unafraid of airing secrets, desires and untold stories. From growing up mixed-race and learning to survive as a woman in the world, to tales of the countryside and themes of escape and finding joy, this book of poems is as vivid as it is frank and fearless. There'll be no need for any tears, it'll all come out in the wash…

  A brand-new ancient-history play in verse that tells the story of one of Britain's most iconic women: a queen, a warrior and a rebel.
  AD 61, Britannia. On the furthest outreaches of the Roman Empire – at the very edge of the known world – rebellion is brewing.
  The King of the Iceni has died and his widow, Boudica, has tried to claim her rightful throne. For her insolence in defying Rome, the queen has been flogged, her daughters have been raped, and they have been banished from their homeland. But now, Queen Boudica has returned. And this time she has an army.
  She will have revenge. She will have blood. She will make Rome quake in fear.
  Boudica by Tristan Bernays premiered at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in September 2017.

  Late night taxis, teen discos, home nurses, Jewish launderettes, vigilantes, babies, immigrants, seagulls. Citysong is a play, a poem and a chorus of voices showing three generations of a Dublin family on one day.
  Intimate and sweeping, joyous and ridiculous, it's the modern-day Dublin's Under Milk Wood via Metamorphoses (not the book about the cockroach). It's different things at different times, which makes sense seeing as it's about change.
  Dylan Coburn Gray's play Citysong, winner of the 2017 Verity Bargate Award, premieres at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in May 2019 before transferring to Soho Theatre, London.
  This edition also contains the plays Boys and Girls, which won the Fishamble Best New Writing Prize at the Dublin Fringe and was nominated for the Stewart Parker Prize, and Drawing Crosses on a Dusty Windowpane.
