Summary

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
Murder. Madness. Magic. In Macbeth, William Shakespeare unleashes his most haunting tragedy—a gripping exploration of ambition's deadly price.

When brave Scottish general Macbeth encounters three mysterious witches, he receives a chilling prophecy: he shall become king. Consumed by desire and urged on by the ruthless Lady Macbeth, he plunges into a spiral of betrayal, bloodshed, and guilt. But as the crown is won, the cost becomes unbearable.

Written around 1606, The Tragedie of Macbeth is a compact masterpiece of psychological torment, political intrigue, and supernatural foreboding. With unforgettable characters, chilling soliloquies, and iconic imagery, it remains one of Shakespeare's most powerful and performed plays.

"A terrifying meditation on unchecked ambition and moral decay." — The New York Times
"Shakespeare's shortest tragedy—yet among his most powerful." — Harold Bloom
"Still strikes like lightning on the stage and the page." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for fans of dark literature, dramatic tragedy, and timeless theatre, Macbeth continues to captivate readers and audiences more than 400 years later.

    Violeta Garcia-Mendoza’s luminous debut seeks out ways of coping in a complicated age. Exploring the constraints and anxieties of midlife in the midst of climate breakdown, of motherhood in a period of personal and planetary vulnerability, these poems speak to the persistence of nature, creativity, and love: necessary sources of hope and beauty, the ties that bind us to this shared and sacred place. Here is a lyrical and resonant new songbook for survival, a flight across the uneasy darkness, a shining course through the “wreckage strung with violets.”

    Imagine you're scared for your adult sibling. They're on the brink and you want to keep them safe. You think they're mentally ill but they think they're just leftwing.
To make the right choices together you'll need to know the right things. The big question: how do you know if you know the right things?
Where Sat the Lovers is about codes, hallucinations, Isaac Newton, war crimes, seeing meaning where there's none and vice versa. It's about facing an overwhelming world and trying to make sense of it all.
Created by Carys D. Coburn with MALAPROP Theatre, it was first staged at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, as part of the 2021 Dublin Fringe Festival, directed by Claire O'Reilly.

    Chapter 5 - Changes - The story behind the song: The journey we take through life will lead us to paths that either advance us or cause our decline, but we are the ones who must decide which path to take, which change we make, for these are our choices and our changes that ultimately define who we become. 
 
Author Bio: 
Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
 
Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
 
The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.

    Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Competition. In her second chapbook, And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words \'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.
