Synopsis

In "America A Prophecy," William Blake masterfully intertwines poetic verse and visual artistry, creating an illuminated manuscript that speaks to the revolutionary spirit of late 18th-century America. The work serves as a poetic exploration of the dichotomy between oppression and freedom, employing a prophetic tone that engages readers in a visionary discourse. Blake's innovative use of symbolism and mythology, alongside his distinctive engraving technique, enhances the thematic depth of the text, positioning it within the context of Romanticism and the broader currents of political upheaval and spiritual awakening of his time. William Blake (1757-1827), an enigmatic figure in the history of English literature and art, drew inspiration from his experiences as an engraver, poet, and visionary. Living through the tumultuous period of the American and French Revolutions, Blake's fierce commitment to individual liberty and social justice profoundly shaped his creative output. This work reflects his profound belief in the potential for personal and societal transformation, influenced by his critical view of institutional power and organized religion. "America A Prophecy" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of art, poetry, and politics. Blake's vivid imagery and challenging themes beckon contemporary readers to reflect upon their own societal landscapes, encouraging a deep engagement with the ideals of freedom, creativity, and spiritual inquiry.

    The City Council of Mendacious Crest has a historic strategy for dealing with problems: ignore it and it will go away.  The game of avoidance is over. Payment is due. The Piper must be paid. What currency does it cost them? 
    Mysterious, witty, and unapologetically bold, I Didn’t Screw the Mayor. He Screwed Me is a true political drama that unearths the principles in a predatory political system—and what it costs a Michigan businesswoman (or is she) to stand tall in the city that made her, now hellbent to break her. 
    Searing with financial betrayal, persona deception, and political cunning, the cost of getting compensated is more than suspicious.

    'One can't help where one is born. Or one's station, of course. The trick to happiness is to be content where one is. Or so I am told.'
    1979. Clarence House, London. The Queen Mother's receptions are in full swing and the champagne is flowing. Guiding the proceedings is William 'Billy' Tallon, page of the backstairs, keeper of the keys, holder of the royal corgis – and the royal secrets.
    Outside the palace walls, unemployment, inflation and industrial action are bringing Britain to its knees, and the country is on the verge of changing seismically under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. These two worlds are about to collide, with dizzying consequences for everyone...
    Backstairs Billy examines the fifty-year relationship between the Queen Mother and her most loyal, most outrageous servant, who joined her household at the age of fifteen. Marcelo Dos Santos's irreverent comedy was first produced by the Michael Grandage Company at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Grandage and starring Penelope Wilton and Luke Evans.
    Marcelo Dos Santos was named Most Promising Playwright at the 2024 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for Backstairs Billy (he was the joint winner of the award with Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini).
