  Ash Wednesday

  T. S. Eliot

  Ash Wednesday marks a decisive turning point in the work of T. S. Eliot. Written after his conversion to Anglicanism, the poem abandons the fragmentation and irony of earlier modernism in favor of restraint, repetition, and spiritual tension. The voice that emerges is hesitant, disciplined, and deliberately limited.
  
  Structured as a sequence of meditative movements, the poem traces an inward journey defined by renunciation rather than revelation. Desire is examined, resisted, and re-ordered, as language circles around prayer, silence, and the difficulty of belief. Meaning is not asserted but approached through pattern, rhythm, and omission.
  
  Severe, austere, and exacting, Ash Wednesday stands as one of the central religious poems of the twentieth century—a work concerned less with certainty than with endurance and spiritual discipline.

  For Charly, every day is the same. Things used to be different, when there was Clo, but now there isn't Clo, and Charly doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple.
  But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world of knock-off Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone.
  Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute, one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation.
  It premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

  Lifers

  'A system is people. These walls and bars didn't build themselves.'
  Inside the walls of HMP Drummond, long-term prisoners Baxter, Norton and Lenny pass the time with poker, banter and the kind of gallows humour only lifers can muster.
  When Lenny's body starts to give out, young prison officer Mark keeps an eye on him. What begins as a duty of care becomes an unexpected friendship, exposing the cracks in a system built to punish, not to support.
  Darkly funny and unflinchingly honest, Evan Placey's play Lifers challenges what we think we know about crime, punishment and redemption. Do some crimes make a second chance impossible? And when the world moves on without you, what does justice really mean? Produced by Synergy Theatre Project, it premiered at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2025, directed by Synergy's Artistic Director Esther Baker.
