Sinopse

William Shakespeare is almost universally considered the English language's most famous and greatest writer. In fact, the only people who might dispute that are those who think he didn't write the surviving 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems still attributed to him. Even people who never get around to reading his works in class are instantly familiar with titles like King Lear, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo & Shakespeare.

Of all Shakespeare's works, Romeo & Juliet is probably the most famous of all. Arguably the most famous play in history, everyone is familiar with the classic tragedy, which tells the love story of a young boy and girl from rival families, and the fateful results that come about because of their forbidden love.

'They say work harder, strive harder. The machine strives for nothing.
The loom does the work twice as fast and half as well.
And they'll settle for that. They'll settle for that.'
Machines can make our work easier. They can also make it vanish overnight. Joe Ward Munrow's play The Legend of Ned Ludd weaves together stories from around the world and takes us on a whirlwind global commute, from the Luddites' nineteenth-century war against new technology through to London, Liverpool, Lagos and beyond...
But we're all at the mercy of The Machine. And, in this powerful exploration of work, automation and capitalism, The Machine selects the scenes for each performance, resulting in 256 possible versions of the play, spun from all the stories included in this published edition. It premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2024, directed by Jude Christian.

A Life in Too Many Margins is a literary episodic tale featuring David, an autistic, chronically ill, and deeply exhausted queer individual. He's survived a few too many doctors with God complexes, and an education system that couldn’t accommodate a paper cut, let alone a brain like his, and now he’s trying to keep it together long enough to get out and figure out what a life outside of survival mode even looks like. 
Between unpredictable joints, cruel relationships, creeping dysphoria, and backward institutions that treat disabled people like spreadsheet errors, David’s not sure how much longer he can keep pretending to be “fine.” In A Life in Too Many Margins, David finds unexpected connections along the way, through equally chaotic friends, a dungeon master who lets him play with varying gender options, and one particularly random German policeman on a sheep farm. This book captures what it means to grow up disabled and trans in a world that keeps trying to file you away.

Elegies & Laments - Poetic tributes to the dead - cover

Elegies & Laments - Poetic...

Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas...

In these more modern time perhaps our first thoughts of an Elegy or a Lament is for someone’s passing.  Wreathed in grief and death we think of a headstone on a silent grave and the memories that shelter within our hearts, slowly receding from one generation to the next, as an often lonely voice extols the virtues and traits of the one who has passed. 
 
But these two very early forms of poetry, dating back to at least Ovid and probably further, are also surprising in their lyrical touch.  These are not just mournful and sad but also whimsical or rich with celebration and tribute as they journey through joy, laughter, love, tears and comfort. 
 
Our Classic Poets, who have specifically chosen to include the form in the title of their work, include the likes of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas Chatterton, Aphra Behn, Rainer Maria Rilke, Radclyffe Hall and many others of equal measure are always surprising in their views, their analysis and their sharing of words and thoughts, offering feelings that mirror our own and provide a balm of many hues for our wounded and tender souls.

Eugene Onegin

In this timeless Russian classic, the charismatic but aloof Eugene Onegin rejects love, friendship, and opportunity in favor of cynicism and self-isolation. When he returns to his rural estate, he crosses paths with the idealistic Tatyana, who falls deeply in love with him. But Onegin's cold dismissal of her leads to a tragic sequence of events that changes all their lives.

With sharp wit and vivid characters, Eugene Onegin is a rich exploration of love, regret, and the consequences of neglecting what truly matters.
