Sinopse

When Eddie returns home to Shropshire, he falls back into his fractious, complicated relationship with his father, both skirting around things long left unsaid. As their connection starts to evolve, can they break through and find the new beginning they both need?
Tom Wentworth's Little Bits of Ruined Beauty is a darkly comic play examining the subtle shift from cared-for to carer, and how dignity and independence are maintained in isolated rural areas.
It was premiered in 2022 by Pentabus on a tour of the UK, directed by Nickie Miles-Wildin, and commissioned and supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists.

Amid the stately arches of a centuries-old New England campus, a quietly unassuming but brilliant poetry professor delivers the most important lecture of his life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness and determined to leave something lasting behind, he reveals long-guarded secrets gleaned from an extraordinary upbringing among rare books and eccentric mentors in Hay-on-Wye, Wales. 
From ancient manuscripts to hidden scribbles, his words come alive in stories of resilience and love, hope and loss, culminating in a simple yet profound “Happiness Formula.” Guided by three transformative attitudes—Passion, Tempo, and Awareness—and built upon the pillars of Love, Balance, and Values, his teachings illuminate a path toward genuine, enduring joy. 
In this poignant fictional account, his son—author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II—pieces together the professor’s final poetry class of 2017, weaving in firsthand testimonies from entranced students and precious archives rescued from near destruction. Their vivid recollections form a testament to life’s fragile beauty and the power of a well-lived day. 
Enter The Happiness Triangle, the first volume of The Equilibrist Series: a heartfelt tale of a teacher racing against time to bestow a timeless gift. Rich with poetry, philosophical insight, and a dash of romance, this novel reminds us that real magic resides not in lofty ambitions or chance events, but in the everyday moments where we dare to live fully, love boundlessly—and discover happiness for ourselves.

In this bilingual poetry collection, Roberto Germán, shares writing across 20 years of his life. The poems tell stories of love, relationships, race, identity, and everyday living. These subjects divide the book into three parts. The poetic forms include free verse, rhyme, haiku and more, all relatable and real with vivid detail. As he explores what it's like to be a young man growing into his identity, the readers are invited into a rarely explored point of view with this level of imagery and sensorial writing: life through the young adult eyes of a Black Dominican-American, son of immigrants."Blue Ink Tears is a work of emotional beauty, historical awe, and nostalgic reminiscence. What you've compiled here is a collection of experiences, not just poems, that will make young readers think and dig deep." Tanya Manning-Yarde
