  Leila is happy living at home with Noor, her loving but traditional grandmother. But when Aleena, her fiercely independent mother, returns home from prison determined to deliver a new world of fun and excitement, their calm lives are upended in a blur of nail varnish and sweet treats.
  Family secrets come tumbling into the light, and Leila finds the task of deciding on her future more difficult than she first thought.
  Ambreen Razia's play Favour is a touching and hopeful family drama about a working-class Muslim family, tackling duty, addiction and the challenge of pulling yourself back together after it all falls apart. It was a Bush Theatre and Clean Break co-production and premiered at the Bush, London, in 2022, directed by Róisín McBrinn and Sophie Dillon Moniram.

  I had been wearing my blue jeans at home and when we were around family, but hadn’t really gone out in public yet, until that day… 
  As I put my jeans on that morning, I kept telling myself, “Wearing jeans is not a sin and I should be able to wear them anywhere I want.” I knew though that if anyone from “the church” saw me, to them it would only confirm that I had backslid and was on my way to hell. Some of them thought that already, simply because we had left the church we had been attending since 2001 and were now going to an Assembly of God. But I had to take this first step for myself.

  Museums have different exhibits displaying different eras, regions, etc., and so does this book. My goal is to highlight three sections in romantic relationships, as per how I see them. Every good story has a rise, climax, and fall, this is shown through the book's three sections. Many believe relationships to be a mirror, as do I. Our partners act as a reflection of how we show up in the world. They show us the things we need to work on. Whether and how long those relationships last, is a topic for another conversation. The three exhibits (sections) the book is divided into are as follows: Exhibit A: Falling (The infatuation stages of early love) Exhibit B: Being broken (Relationships acting as our mirrors, showing us our faults) Exhibit C: Ending (When the relationship can no longer work and it comes to its conclusion) I hope you enjoy your tour through the Museum of My Soul, enjoy your stay, and hopefully, you'll come again.

  The Time Machine: A Comedy

  When the worlds of science-fiction and science-fact collide… extraordinary things can happen.
  Dave is the great-great grandson of H.G. Wells, author of the 1895 novella The Time Machine, a book that foretold (with suspicious accuracy) the future of the human species. What if the ideas in that book weren't entirely fiction? Right now, Dave and his friends Amy and Michael must set out on a journey through time… the journey of a lifetime!
  The Time Machine: A Comedy is (very loosely) adapted from H.G. Wells by Steven Canny and John Nicholson, whose previous adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles was a hit in the West End and subsequently for numerous companies worldwide. It was first produced in 2023 on a tour of the UK, before a run at Park Theatre, London, produced by Original Theatre and directed by Orla O'Loughlin.
  Fast-paced and wise-cracking, this riotous retelling zips from the nineteenth century to the end of the world, and (with any luck) back again. It will suit any theatre company looking for a time-bending adaptation of a well-loved story – and a surefire audience-pleaser.
