Sinossi

'Nothing is any longer one thing.'
From a teenage encounter with Elizabeth I, through infatuations, voyages and even a change of gender, Orlando lives out five centuries of life and love before they finally find the courage to truly be themselves.
Neil Bartlett's sparkling adaptation of Virginia Woolf's famous fantasy finds powerful contemporary relevance in her vision of equal rights to love for bodies of every kind – and brings it to life on the stage with a kaleidoscope of theatrical styles, overseen by the haunting figure of Woolf herself.
It premiered at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in November 2022, in a production directed by Michael Grandage and starring Emma Corrin in the title role. Written for a diverse ensemble of nine or more actors, this adaptation will appeal to any theatre or company looking to entertain their audiences with a bold new take on this iconic tale of love and transformation.
Disponibile da: 08/12/2022.

    The Unbroken Spirit: Journey and Vows of Love is a poignant poetic tale of love's endurance despite distance, centered on Elara and Jillian, two star-crossed lovers. Their bond transcends miles through heartfelt letters that express their deepest longings and unwavering devotion. Each letter serves as a testament to their infinite love, filled with promises of togetherness and dreams shared in an ethereal connection that allows their spirits to dance freely amidst life's harsh realities. As seasons change and life pulls them apart, the weight of their promises becomes apparent. Their once-vibrant exchanges turn melancholic, revealing the fragility of love in the face of fate. Each letter, once a beacon of hope, now resonates with the bittersweet truth that love can be both powerful and vulnerable. Ultimately, The Unbroken Spirit celebrates the enduring essence of love, reflecting the complexities of human emotions—the beauty of connection and the heartache of separation. Elara and Jillian's journey reminds us that while promises may falter, true love remains forever enshrined in the hearts of those who dare to love deeply. Through lyrical prose, this tale invites readers to explore love's depths and the unyielding spirit that persists even through heartbreak.

    Description 
    A Poetic Journey from Heartbreak to Wholeness 
    In the quiet aftermath of love, we are left with pieces. Romantic Healing Message is a hand to hold in the dark, a lyrical guide that gathers those pieces and reveals how to mend with gold. 
    Structured as a profound five-act journey—through the Awakening, the Break, the Void, the Healing, and finally, the Message—this collection is more than a book of poetry. It is a conversation with your own heart. Joe Ilunjo’s intimate and vulnerable verse explores the entire spectrum of love: the dizzying heights of discovery, the crushing weight of loss, the silent reflection of absence, and the radiant dawn of self-forgiveness. 
    For anyone who has loved, lost, and is learning to love again—starting with themselves—this book offers a powerful affirmation: your scars are not signs of damage, but proof of your resilience. Let these words be the gentle reminder that you were never meant to stay broken; you were meant to glow. 
    (Thank you for choosing my audiobook. If you have any questions, feedback, or if you’d like to request a digital or paperback copy of the book, please feel free to reach out to me at joenduga@gmail.com.)

    everything you carry is prayer:...

    Dear listener: this book was made like an album, with seven tracks that move through memory, loss, states of devotion—but it also sweeps across the mind like a bittersweet symphony, with seven movements written across a near decade, charting memories made in beds shared and left, situated in Singapore, in Australia, and always from the body. 
     
    everything you carry is prayer is Qamar Firdaus Saini’s debut collection, and is held together by recurring themes: grief and grace, rupture and ritual, belonging and belief. These poems were made with care: for silence, for resonance, for what the body cannot always say aloud. They move between faiths, inheritances, and forms of prayer. You can drop the needle anywhere and tap into a quieter kind of ache.
