  1964: Richard Burton, the firebrand Welsh actor, newly married to movie star Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new production of Hamlet under the exacting direction of John Gielgud.
  But as rehearsals progress, the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. One of them is the most famous movie star in the world; the other, a patrician from an earlier age of theatre. The stage is set for two titans to collide.
  Jack Thorne's The Motive and the Cue is a fierce, funny play which offers a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity. This edition was published alongside the West End transfer in 2023, following its world premiere at the National Theatre, London, earlier that year. Originally commissioned and co-produced by Neal Street Productions, it was directed by Sam Mendes, and starred Johnny Flynn as Burton, Mark Gatiss as Gielgud and Tuppence Middleton as Taylor. It was named Best Play at the 2023 Evening Standard Theatre Awards, and Best New Play at the 2024 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards.

  Roses and Thorns - 100 Poems for...

  Angelina Scriptor began writing poetry when she was only a child, but one fateful day, she decided to look back. It was only then that she realized she had something that most poetry books lacked. While still only a teenager, Angelina noticed that life encompasses more than the simple routes of love and loss that other poets tend to focus on. Life holds both hidden beauties and traumatizing horrors, tucked intricately within its own pages, jumbled amongst themselves to further hide the signs of their existence. 
  Life is telling a story, day in and day out. Slowly, it builds and breaks each of its characters, leaving them to individually collect the pieces of the puzzle that they constantly yearn to complete. And, in the meantime, they are left to create their own stories, whether they do so while coming together with others, or if they’re left to trudge down the dark path of life alone, barely making it to their next sentence. 
  If you choose to read this book of poems, you will be met with many stories that Scriptor experienced over the years, whether they be her own, or those she uncovered while peering down the path of another. 
  This book holds not only the beautiful rosebuds of life’s growth, but also its sharp, threatening thorns. Every page is left to fulfill another journey, never relying on that of another to do so. Sometimes, words sit seemingly simple, but more times than not, its vines will burrow deep into the root of life, tugging at its very existence. 
  That is for each reader to determine for themselves, may they decide to seek the answer.

  Love is Not Pie - Variations on...

  Caught between a loving husband and a man from her past, one woman chooses an unconventional way to explore her personal "road not taken". Love is not Pie is a personal exploration navigating the world of consensual non-monogamy and polyamory. This collection of poems - erotic, yearning, sweet and angry - was written by Lazaruk to and about her two beloved men over the course of several years. Collected here for the first time, the original poems are woven together with new pieces that provide context for how the story unfolded. In this expressive work of poetry, Lazaruk explores attachment, fear, love, lust, grief and the push-pull between what she knows is right and how she justifies her actions. Love is Not Pie will resonate with readers who have flirted with relationships outside the norm of Western marital conventions, as well as those who are interested in peering behind the curtain of what most of us show the world about our private lives. Narrated here by the author, she and her producer Paul Tedeschini, collaborated to create the sensual aural world of Love is Not Pie, setting the various scenes through the skillful use of sound design to add a unique ambience and feel to these tiny little gems. We hope you enjoy the audio experience. Please note it is best realized with headphones, both for the sound quality as well as for keeping the NSFW nature of this work on the DL while listening. Have fun!

  In the Name of Red - Poems

  Z.R. Ghani

  From lips and warmed cheeks to silk and falling leaves, the subjects of Z.R. Ghani's poems radiate with redness. Sometimes a cloak, often a shining symbol, Ghani's reds are sacred and dazzling: pomegranates ripening to jewels and perfectly-placed bindis shining like suns.
  But something darker lurks beneath the ruby depths. A city is held hostage by a heatwave, a flame is lit in a dark room, a ballerina twists inside a jewellery box.
  As though developing photographs, Ghani shines a deep light over her poems as a tool to slowly make the unseen visible, the unsaid audible. This is a debut book rich with desire, shame, grief, faith, love, and at the forefront of it all: the colour red.
