Sinopse

Winner of the 2008 Trillium Book Award for Poetry
   
Write for buyers. Write for bosses. Think hyper. Think branding. Tell your visitor where to go. Poetry and ‘plain language’ collide in the writing machine that is Human Resources. Here at the intersection of creation and repackaging, we experience the visceral and psychic cost of selling things with depleted words. Pilfered rhetorics fed into themachine are spit out as bungled associations among money, shit, culture, work and communication. With the help of online engines that numericize language, Human Resources explores writing as a process of encryption.
   
Deeply inflected by the polyvocality and encoded rhetorics of the screen, Human Resources is perched at the limits of language, irreverently making and breaking meaning. Navigating the crumbling boundaries among page, screen,reader, engine, writer and database, Human Resources investigates wasting words and words as waste – and the creative potential of salvage.
   
‘In this bad-mouthing and incandescent burlesque, Rachel Zolf transforms a necessary social anger into the pure fuel that takes us to “the beautiful excess of the unshackled referent.�* We learn something new about guts, and about how dictions slip across one another, entwining, shimmering, wisecracking. For Zolf,political invention takes precedent, works the search engine.’ – Lisa Robertson

    "Paradise Lost" by John Milton is an epic poem that delves into the biblical story of the Fall of Man, deftly exploring themes of temptation, sin, and redemption. With majestic language and sweeping imagery, Milton recounts the rebellious uprising of Satan and his angels against God, their subsequent exile to Hell, and Satan's sinister plot leading to the downfall of Adam and Eve in Eden. This monumental work not only illuminates the human condition but also wrestles with questions of free will, divine justice, and the struggle between good and evil.

    'Jo and Harry are changing.
    Harry is changing more than most, undeniably.
    And change is beautiful. Necessary. Terrifying.'
    Break-ups aren't just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities…
    What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?
    Chris Bush's play Otherland is a bold and beautiful exploration of what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Ann Yee.
    Otherland was a finalist for the 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

    Since her play Steel opened in her native Sheffield in 2018, Chris Bush has rapidly become one of the UK's most successful and widely staged playwrights, with her plays on stage at the National Theatre, in the West End, and across Europe. Celebrated for her spirited dissections of power, female agency and northern identity, her work is infused with wit, empathy, and a powerful sense of place and belonging.
    Included here are five of her plays, all first performed between 2018 and 2021, together with a revealing introduction in which she reflects on the tumultuous period from which they emerged.
    Steel (Sheffield Theatres, 2018) is a political epic constructed from minimal resources, a two-hander spanning three decades of women in politics. 'Sharp, witty and uncannily topical' The Stage
    Faustus: That Damned Woman (Headlong, 2020) is a radical reimagining of the classic tale, asking what women must sacrifice to achieve greatness. 'Original, ambitious and fantastically revisionist' Guardian
    Nine Lessons and Carols(Almeida Theatre, 2020) is a play, with songs by Maimuna Memon, about connection and isolation, forged during the Covid pandemic, exploring what we hold on to in troubled times. 'A reminder of the power of theatre and our need for it' Telegraph
    Hungry (Paines Plough, 2021) is a pithy two-hander about food, love, class and grief in a world where there's little left to savour. 'Reconfirms Chris Bush as one of our greatest, most relevant contemporary playwrights' Broadway World
     Not  the End of the World (Schaubühne, Berlin, 2021) is a daringly theatrical investigation of the climate crisis through the perspectives of class, patriarchy and colonialism. 'Staggering… Bush's remarkable text melds a ruthless structural concept with exquisite lyricism' Guardian
