  'As long as you only have one sort of person telling the stories, well then our world will just end up looking very like that one sort of person. It makes sense, doesn't it?'
  1841. Mary Ann Evans is of marriageable age. Her father has recently moved with her to Bird Grove House, with the sole purpose of finding her a suitable husband. But Mary Ann's remarkable intellect and growing self-confidence are forming progressive new ideas in her mind; ideas that challenge her father's most strongly held beliefs.
  If she is to become the writer she has always dreamt of being, Mary Ann will have to break every societal convention expected of her.
  A funny and poignant exploration of family ties and self-determination, Alexi Kaye Campbell's play Bird Grove tells the untold story of the woman who was to become one of England's greatest writers: George Eliot. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Anna Ledwich.

  Kelsey Peterson has one goal. To talk to Olivia Pritchard, the most beautiful woman she has ever seen. There’s only one problem with the plan! Kelsey is useless with women. So useless, in fact, that she tends to cause accidental bodily harm to herself when in the vicinity of an attractive female. Take her first meeting with Olivia, for example. Kelsey’s face meeting a pole because she was staring. Is she a lost cause? Well, Kelsey doesn’t think so. All she needs is a step-by-step method to reach her goals. Then she should be able to have at least a conversation with Olivia, right? As with all well-planned ideas, it goes to pot almost immediately. Still, Kelsey is nothing but persistent and positive. All she has to do is follow her checklist. Easy peasy!

  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. 
   
  Where do you go from Shakespeare?  The choice and talents of who to choose from among other classic poets is overwhelming.  And yet many names cannot be left out.  Once again choice is subjective in some cases but, in many others, there can be no argument.

  A collection to inspire discussions, debate and embolden the difficulties faced by women in the healthcare system.
  
  
  This is a bilingual anthology of new writing from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions. The aim of the book is to bring about change in legislation, and a voice for the women of Wales and beyond, who are not given the autonomy and power of voice to speak up about their own bodies within the patriarchal healthcare system. The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis. A powerful and unflinching collection of poems about living with long term health conditions.
  
  'It is an act of testimony, a call to awareness, and, in many ways, a rallying cry.' – Dr Helen Munro, Clinical Lead Women's Health Network in Wales
  
  'I hope that any woman reading this will find comfort in these pages. You may be unwell. The future may be uncertain. But you are not alone and do not have to endure pain by yourself.' – Hanan Issa, National Poet of Wales
  
  'All the poets in this book have, in some way … found the creative resources to respond to the surreal world of illness in poems that show insight, generosity and a joy that defy the downward pull of being constantly ill at ease. This is a significant human achievement.' – Gwyneth Lewis
  
  
  Casgliad pwerus a dewr o gerddi yn trafod byw gyda chyflyrau iechyd hirdymor.
  
  'Fel cyfanwaith, mae'r gyfrol hon yn weithred o dystiolaeth, yn alwad am ymwybyddiaeth, ac, mewn sawl ffordd, yn gri i godi llais.' – Dr Helen Munro, Arweinydd Clinigol Rhwydwaith Iechyd Menywod yng Nghymru
  
  'Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd unrhyw fenyw sy'n darllen yn canfod cysur yn y tudalennau hyn. Efallai eich bod yn sâl. Efallai bod y dyfodol yn ansicr. Ond dydych chi ddim ar eich pen eich hun a does dim rhaid i chi ddioddef poen ar eich pen eich hun.' – Hanan Issa, Bardd Cenedlaethol Cymru
  
  'Mae pob un o'r beirdd yn y gyfrol hon wedi ... dod o hyd i adnoddau creadigol i ymateb i fyd swrrealaidd salwch mewn cerddi sy'n dangos dealltwriaeth a haelioni yn ogystal a llawenydd sy'n gwrthsefyll syrthni anhwylder. Mae hon yn gamp 'fenywol' arwyddocaol.' – Gwyneth Lewis
