Sinopsis

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.

    “Paul Laurence Dunbar: 16 Poems and Analyses with an Original Piano Underscore Adapted for Each Poem” is a richly immersive audiobook that brings one of America’s most beloved poets to vivid, resonant life. This unique collection blends Dunbar’s poetic mastery with thoughtful literary interpretation and original piano compositions crafted to mirror the tone, rhythm, and emotional landscape of each piece. The result is a listening experience that honors Dunbar’s legacy while offering fresh pathways into his work for both longtime admirers and new audiences. 
    Across these sixteen carefully chosen poems, listeners will encounter the full range of Dunbar’s genius—his lyrical tenderness, sharp social insight, humor, sorrow, musicality, and extraordinary command of both dialect and traditional verse. Each poem is followed by a clear, engaging analysis that illuminates themes, historical context, poetic techniques, and the nuances that give Dunbar’s writing its enduring power. The analyses deepen appreciation without academic heaviness, offering accessible guidance that enhances rather than interrupts the listening journey. 
    The original piano underscore is crafted specifically for this production, with each piece composed to complement the emotional geography of its poem. Gentle, contemplative melodies accompany Dunbar’s moments of brighter, lilting motifs animate his scenes of warmth and daily life; and deeper, resonant harmonies underscore his explorations of struggle, dignity, and resilience. The music never overwhelms the poetry—rather, it expands it, creating a layered, atmospheric tapestry that brings out subtleties of mood and meaning. 
    Whether you are studying Dunbar, rediscovering him, or stepping into his world for the first time, this audiobook offers a beautifully curated, thoughtfully structured, and artistically enriched encounter with one of America’s essential poetic voices,. 
    Paul Laurence Dunbar's works are in the public domain.

    There is a fresh candor and a new ease of utterance in this fifth volume of poems by the Dominican writer Paul Murray. What most immediately impresses, in lyric after lyric, are the moments of quiet epiphany. But such moments of vision have not been easily achieved. Throughout the work, rather than avoid the “torn” and wounded areas of our lives, a range of feelings and experiences—unnamed, invading, threatening, desired—are courageously explored. In the end, the vision, the spiritual awareness that is attained, is the more persuasive and convincing for having first been tested.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
     
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
     
    War may be called diplomacy by other means but for the youth of a nation, pressed into service for that nation, its effects are horror, terror, injury, trauma and the likelihood of death.  Within the words of these 10 poets, dreams, ambition and reality collide into some very vivid and moving words.

    Bringing the Shovel Down maps the long and arduous process of being inculcated with the mythologies of state and power, the ramifications of that inculcation (largely, the loss of our humanity in the service of maintaining those mythologies), and finally, what it might mean, what it might provide us, if we were to transform those myths. The book, finally, has one underlying question: How might we better love one another?

    Writing is an escape for me. It helped me cope with my emotions and events in my life. Everything I have written has helped me get through tough, emotional times. Through the years I have become a more open person, but I still find it hard to express myself to others. Writing is the most important part of my life.
