Synopsis

'It costs something to make a meaningful noise.'
When two teenagers meet after choir practice, they begin the most important relationship of their lives. Not everyone has what it takes to succeed, but Maggie and Paul are determined to.
Two decades later, a chance encounter with their old teacher forces them to confront a past they thought was long buried.
Overtone is an intimate, funny and unflinching play about love getting older – the adventures we were promised, the choices we think we made, and the cost of finally being honest. Tom Brennan's play premiered at the Pleasance during the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by John Hoggarth and presented by The North Wall.

    Molière's timeless classic, The Misanthrope, is a brilliant exploration of human nature, social hypocrisy, and the conflicts between honesty and societal expectation. Written in the 17th century, this comedic masterpiece remains strikingly relevant today, revealing the eternal struggle of integrity in a world governed by pretense.
    
    At the heart of the play is Alceste, a man of unwavering honesty who despises the lies, flattery, and superficiality of high society. His refusal to compromise his principles earns him ridicule and isolation, yet his moral rigidity is contrasted with his passionate love for Célimène, a witty and charming woman whose playful flirtations and social maneuvering epitomize the very society Alceste despises.
    
    Through sharp wit, clever dialogue, and intricate social commentary, Molière exposes the contradictions and absurdities of human behavior. The play examines the tension between sincerity and politeness, love and reason, individuality and conformity. It challenges readers to question their own values, social interactions, and the compromises they make to fit into a world rife with pretense.
    
    Molière's The Misanthrope is more than just a comedy—it is a mirror reflecting the complexities of human relationships, a satire that cuts to the core of social conventions, and a timeless study of integrity, love, and the struggle to remain true to oneself in an often hypocritical society.
    
    Perfect for lovers of classic literature, drama, and social critique, this edition brings Molière's sharp insights and timeless humor to life, offering readers both entertainment and profound reflection.

    A classic in the Bukowski poetry canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love. 
    A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a “passionate madman.” Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love—its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power. 
    ""there is a loneliness in this world so great 
    that you can see it in the slow movement of 
    the hands of a clock.""
