Sinopse

Classic Ballads: 4 Timeless Books of Traditional Songs is a remarkable confluence of poetic ingenuity, capturing the essence of traditional ballads as they traverse themes of love, loss, and folklore. This anthology brings together a diverse range of styles from romantic lyricism to the vivid storytelling characteristic of the ballad form. The timeless nature of the ballads is reflected in their ability to engage contemporary readers with themes that resonate universally. This collection highlights significant pieces that illustrate the raw beauty and emotional depth of balladry while remaining unanchored to any single author, thus showcasing the collective brilliance and vivid imagination of these literary giants. Featuring contributions from literary luminaries such as Shakespeare, Shelley, and Keats, among others, this anthology offers a treasure trove of narrative voices that capture the rich tapestry of the Romantic and Victorian eras. The involved authors bring a depth of experience and a variety of perspectives that contribute to a resonant exploration of traditional balladic themes. Through their renditions, the collection aligns itself with the broader historical and cultural movements of its time, enabling readers to appreciate the intersection of personal expression with societal narratives. Offering readers an enriching dive into a multiplicity of perspectives, Classic Ballads serves as both a scholarly resource and a timeless journey into the heart of traditional song. This anthology is a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to engage with the shared heritage of balladry. Its diverse array of contributions fosters a dynamic dialogue between eras, and its educational value lies in the breadth of insights it provides, offering a deeper understanding of how these timeless songs continue to echo throughout the ages.

    Come and listen to one of the most famous collaborations of early twentieth century Czech literature, "The Insect Play, or Ad Infinitum." 
    Come and see how many similarities The Brothers Čapek draw between our problems, our beliefs, and our struggles with the lives of the very critters that walk beneath our feet. Join our inebriated narrator as he witnesses the world of the insects become larger than life--how the butterflies attempt to woo the other sex, how dung beetles work and work to get their nest egg ready for... someday, and how the ants make it their mission to conquer all of the land between one blade of grass and another--all in the name of democracy. A truly surreal and remarkable experience that you won't want to miss, this three act play will stick with you long after its initial runtime.

    'It's hard to accept ourselves out there. But in here, with our people, we can accept each other.'
    The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs, the only lesbian choir in the country, are trying to win their place on the Pride mainstage.
    In a run-down church hall with an OWL (Older, Wiser Lesbian) at the helm, the ragtag choir navigate love, loss and trying to agree on song choices. But despite their best intentions, they find that harmony comes at a price.
    Packed with laugh-out-loud moments and lots of lesbian drama, Iman Qureshi's play The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs was first performed at Soho Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Hannah Hauer-King. This revised version of the play was published alongside the play's 2025 revival at Kiln Theatre, London.

    'I'll do anything for you. I can do anything for you.'
    Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless and desperate for somewhere to call 'home'.
    Nikita's work with young migrants requires her to keep her saviour complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.
    Sonali Bhattacharyya's play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity – and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering 'me, not us', and definitely 'me first'. It was a finalist for the 2023 Women's Prize for Playwriting, and was first performed as a co-production between Kali Theatre and New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Milli Bhatia.
