Sinossi

In "New Readings of Old Authors: Shakspeare. King Henry 5th," Shakespeare masterfully reinterprets themes of honor, leadership, and national identity during the tumultuous backdrop of the Hundred Years' War. This exploration employs a rich tapestry of poetic language and innovative dramatic structure, intertwining historical elements with psychological depth. Shakespeare's portrayal of King Henry V emerges as a multifaceted character grappling with the burdens of kingship, combining elements of classical tragedy and Renaissance humanism, which resonates across time and informs contemporary understandings of power and morality. William Shakespeare (1564-1616), often hailed as the greatest playwright in the English language, had his insights shaped by the socio-political landscape of Elizabethan England. His profound interest in human nature, alongside a keen awareness of the political dynamics of his time, significantly informed his exploration of themes in "King Henry V." Shakespeare'Äôs experiences in a turbulent and transitional era, marked by explorations and conquests, undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of leadership and the nuanced nature of heroism within the play. This compelling work is essential for readers seeking to delve deeper into the complexities of Shakespeare'Äôs writing. Scholars and enthusiasts alike will find Shakespeare'Äôs incisive portrayal of kingly duty and national pride in "King Henry 5th" both timeless and deeply relevant, making it a vital addition to any literary collection.

    Octopus Mind plays with an array of rich and original metaphors to explore the intricacies of neurodiversity, perception and the human mind. These poems articulate the desire to understand and be understood by oneself and others in a complex world. They observe the nuances of creativity, art, relationships, and self-expression through the lens of neurodiversity, reflecting on the poet's experience of being diagnosed with dyspraxia as an adult. They delve into the challenges of neurodiversity, but also reveal its gifts.
    Poems respond to visual artists like Gwen John, whose paintings break new ground for women representing their own visions of themselves. Other poems suggest that this can be a struggle however, as Pablo Picasso paints not a woman but his own despair in 'Blue Nude', while Elizabeth Siddal reflects on her own image, fetishized by the Pre-Raphaelite painters, and Henri Rousseau's painting becomes an outlet for self-deception and frustration. 
    Some of the most stunning poems in this collection perform a kind of magic or sleight of hand, as dyspraxia is explored through unique and remarkable metaphors, including a series of artefacts in a museum, a walk along the seashore, and a swaying tree. The 'Octopus Mind' evokes the possibilities of what it means to be human, through obsession, self-deception, realisation, and acceptance.
    The speaker in Octopus Mind is endearingly humble and we journey with them beyond self-criticism to reclaiming the self. In 'Growing', the narrator declares 'I will grow // into myself, climbing, steady, / grip by grip, leaf by leaf'. In 'Understood' the narrator describes the complex process of re-imagining one's place in the world, armed with new knowledge: 'Slowly, we adjust / our own soft ignorance / unroll our prejudice / in gentle waves.' 
    "A poet of multiple uncanny self-portraits, of the 'octopus mind', who explores the gaps between mind and body, and body and world, with deft, diverse diagnoses."Damian Walford Davies
    "Extraordinary poems of self-encounter, of divergence, of bruised bodies out of balance with themselves, laid bare – and of new-found identities, and joyous release." Richard Marggraf Turley 
    "Rachel Carney's debut collection delights in its curiosity and surrealism. This is a collection that 'swims out into deep ocean currents' to explore the workings of the mind and the impacts of this on the self." Katherine Stansfield

    Meet Ashraf and his 'Habibti' – his daughter Shazia. He's an Egyptian, Muslim taxi driver; she's half-Egyptian, half-Wiganese, and more interested in the last call at the bar than the call to prayer.
    Their relationship is put to the test when Ashraf introduces Shazia to his new Egyptian bride, whilst she is attempting to break the news of her own secret engagement. In Ashraf's taxi they must navigate driving lessons, sing karaoke and explore whether, despite their differences, family can win out regardless.
    Habibti Driver is a heartwarming and hilarious play, based on Shamia Chalabi's real-life experiences and co-written with Sarah Henley, exploring the clashes, compromises and comedy that come with living in a mixed-culture family in today's Britain.
    First performed in an earlier version – Burkas and Bacon Butties – at the VAULT Festival, London, this revised, full-length version premiered at the Octagon Theatre Bolton in April 2022, co-produced with Tara Finney Productions.
