Sinopse

In "Jerusalem," William Blake embarks on an ambitious exploration of spiritual, social, and political themes, intricately weaving his profound visions into a complex tapestry of poetry and art. Written during the late 18th century, this epic poem serves as a culmination of Blake's lifelong quest for a visionary perspective that transcends the material world. Incorporating a unique blend of mystical allegory and rich imagery, Blake critiques the urbanization and industrialization of his time, juxtaposing the ideal of a spiritual Jerusalem with the harsh realities of contemporary society. The poem's distinctive style, characterized by rhythmic meter and lyrical intensity, positions it firmly within the Romantic movement, while also challenging the boundaries of traditional poetry through its innovative use of visual art and illuminated printing. William Blake, an enigmatic figure considered both a poet and a painter, drew from his own experiences of spiritual revelation and historical tumult to craft "Jerusalem." Living through the tumultuous shifts of the Industrial Revolution, Blake's work often reflects his opposition to institutional religion and societal conventions. His visionary experiences and deep-seated belief in the transformative power of creativity shaped his perspective, motivating him to depict a world where spiritual awakening and social justice coexist harmoniously. For readers seeking an intellectually stimulating and aesthetically enriching experience, "Jerusalem" offers a profound meditation on personal and collective redemption. Blake's unique synthesis of poetry and visual art invites contemplation, making this work essential reading for those interested in the intersections of spirituality, politics, and the human condition. The poem's enduring relevance resonates today, encouraging readers to reflect upon their own roles in shaping a 'new Jerusalem' in the contemporary landscape.

    – Every man for himself.
    – I'd say we're better off sticking together.
    In a mysterious dystopia, against a backdrop of war, a life raft filled with children is adrift at sea – their passenger liner sunk by an unknown and unseen enemy.
    As darkness falls and their rations dwindle, fear, superstition and madness start to take hold. Hours turn into days, and it becomes clear that not all of them will make it back to dry land alive...
    Life Raft is a thrilling contemporary adaptation of The Raft of the Medusa, Georg Kaiser's 1945 play, written during his exile from Nazi Germany, and inspired by a terrifying true story.
    Written by Fin Kennedy in collaboration with Bristol Old Vic's acclaimed Young Company, and originally performed by them under the direction of Melly Still, this large-cast play for young actors is a dark study in the psychology of survival – and an urgent allegory for our times.
    This definitive edition of the play is accompanied by a series of interactive games specially created by award-winning games designer Tassos Stevens, allowing young people a deeper exploration of the play's themes, and the opportunity to create their own new stories inspired by the scenario.

    In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.
    
    A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.
    
    At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.
