Summary

William Shakespeare's 'Ultimate Collection: ALL 38 Plays & Complete Poetry' stands as a monumental chronicle of the human experience, encompassing the breadth of emotion and intellect in Shakespeare's unparalleled literary canon. This anthology not only compiles his classic tragedies, comedies, and histories, but it also features a fully integrated collection of his sonnets and poems, beautifully presenting the evolution of his artistry. The literary style juxtaposes eloquent poetry with vivid narratives, illuminating societal dynamics and psychological depth that has permeated through the centuries, making Shakespeare a cornerstone of English literature and an essential figure in the Renaissance context. Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare rose from modest beginnings to become a central figure in Elizabethan theater. His life, filled with socio-political changes and profound artistic influence, informed his craft; each play reflects the zeitgeist of his time, showcasing his mastery in language, character development, and thematic complexity. The nuances in his works stem from his keen observation of human nature, social structures, and relationships, which resonate with audiences across generations. For readers and scholars alike, this Ultimate Collection is indispensable, offering rich insights into the multifaceted world of Shakespearean drama and poetry. Whether one seeks to dive into the anguish of 'Hamlet' or the humor of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' this compilation invites exploration and appreciation of a literary legacy that continues to shape our understanding of art and humanity.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
 
Where do you go from Shakespeare?  The choice and talents of who to choose from among other classic poets is overwhelming.  And yet many names cannot be left out.  Once again choice is subjective in some cases but, in many others, there can be no argument.

    This debut collection of poems, composed with no thought to commercial publication and discovered by Green Writers Press by happenstance, addresses events in the poet' s life that every reader can relate to — friendships, the beginning, middle, and end of romantic relationships, and the death of a loved one. And they do so with " stiletto-sharp" metaphors — " rosebuds stillborn in the falling snow" — and wry observations — " Trying Again: Like an old shoe comfortable for a while but still causing blisters" — that evoke from the reader a knowing nod and sometimes an outright laugh. Short, disarming, crafted with carefully calibrated rhythms and innovative rhymes, these poems " skulk in the grass" and, while your guard is down, " barge right in" to your consciousness, uninvited guests.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Another excellent thriller…leading to an electrifying conclusion' Kathleen on Without Trace
She opened her mouth to scream, but he slapped something across her lips. The gag tasted of salt and mould, rough sacking on her tongue.
With a terrifying certainty, she knew she was going to die.
DI Geraldine Steel knows people go missing all the time; sometimes because they don't want to be found. So when her partner Ian asks her to look into the disappearance of his friend's girlfriend, her first instinct is to reassure him there's no need for concern.
Until she's called to a suspected murder, and all her instincts tell her she's right about the identity of the victim.
The young woman has earth and leaf mould and fragments of twigs in her long fair hair, her nose, her mouth, under her finger nails, clinging to her clothes.
It's as if she'd been completely encased in earth.
And yet she was found on the pavement, at the side of a suburban road, where she wasn't in contact with any soil or mud.
Had she managed to escape a living grave?
She needs to find out what really happened. Where did the assault occur?
Why are there traces of DNA from two other unidentified sources on the body?
What reason could there be to attack a popular young woman who never did anyone any harm?
And why bury her body so carelessly that she was able to escape?
Then another young woman is reported missing. Unless he has an accomplice, they have an innocent man in custody. And Steel is running out of time . . .
A page-turning puzzle of a case with an unexpected final twist. If you're a fan of Angela Marsons, Mel Sherratt and Karin Slaughter, you'll love Leigh Russell.
Can be read as a stand-alone.

    'It is really small. Whatever it is.
But it's here.
It's definitely here.'
A teenage girl has something growing inside her. She doesn't know what it is, but she knows it's not a baby. It expands. It has claws. Eventually it takes over the entirety of her body.
No one must know about it. She has to keep its presence, its possession of her, concealed. She pulls away from her friends. She refuses to speak, in case 'The IT' is heard. But she can't contain it forever. Sooner or later something's got to give...
Presented in the style of a direct-address documentary, Vivienne Franzmann's The IT is a darkly comic state-of-the-nation play exploring adolescent mental health and the rage within.
Written specifically for young people, the play formed part of the 2021 National Theatre Connections Festivals and was premiered by youth theatres across the UK. It was named Best Play for Young Audiences at the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards 2023.
The IT offers opportunities for a large, flexible cast of any size and mix of genders.
