  The Seagull (Russian: ?????, Chayka) is the first of what are generally considered to be the four major plays by the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. The play was written in 1895 and first produced in 1896. It dramatises the romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters: the ingenue Nina, the fading leading lady Irina Arkadina, her son the experimental playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin.

  Evgenii Onegin - New Translation...

  Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of  389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the ‘Pushkin sonnet’) is one of the landmarks of Russian literature. In the poem, the eponymous hero repudiates love, only to later experience the pain of rejection himself. Pushkin’s unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy and  the consequences of social convention. This is the first time the work has appeared on audiobook and is part of the Naxos AudioBooks intention to make the major European literary works available on audiobook.

  An outrageously fun musical set in an all-girls school in the 60s, from the team behind Bad Girls: The Musical.
  It's 1963 and the Dame Dorothea Dosserdale School for Girls has a proud tradition of fostering free spirits from all walks of life. So it's a crushing blow when the new headmistress turns out to be a tyrant with strict Victorian values - and top of her hit list are the two sixth-formers accused of 'Unnatural Behaviour' in the Art Room…
  Brimming with catchy tunes and witty lyrics, Crush is a hilarious pastiche of Girls' School stories - a blend of Malory Towers and St Trinian's - with added hockey sticks and 'lashings of jolly good fun' Coventry Telegraph.
  Crush was first performed on tour in the UK in 2015.
  'The all-female (except for a solitary male) cast of twelve, minimal furniture and very achievable set-building requirements will surely put Crush on hundreds of amateur drama societies' to-do lists' - Sardines Magazine
  'Crush taps into the subversive undercurrents of its source and brings them to the fore, producing a show that's boldly queer and a little bit crazy, yet with enough innocent exuberance to make it family-friendly, too' - British Theatre Guide
  'Energetic, jolly, and just plain silly… Faithfully recreating and poking gentle fun at the whole range of "girls' school" tropes' - The Stage
