Summary

Alfian Sa’at’s The Asian Boys Trilogy is a fascinating, insightful tour through the lives and loves of the gay community in Singapore. In the campy and carnivalesque Dreamplay, history is turned upside-down as a goddess travels through time to ‘save gay men from themselves’. In Landmarks, geography takes centrestage, as eight short plays explore the spaces that have been claimed, colonised, and trespassed by those at the margins of the mainstream. In Happy Endings, the playwright’s adaptation of the novel Peculiar Chris evolves into a meditation on the relationship between life and literature. With clear-eyed compassion and eloquent outrage, this collection of plays charts the coming-of-age of a community finding its voice.
Available since: 08/10/2023.
Print length: 292 pages.

    Imagine if famous playwright William Shakespeare had been haunting theaters since his death, just to see how his plays were being treated. What might he say about the productions he has seen for over 400 years, the actors he has watched, and his own life? 
The setting for Shakespeare's Ghost is an unnamed theater during a terrible production of Hamlet. Rather than let us suffer through the bad acting, Shakespeare materializes and shares with us the story of his life, his work, and productions of his plays through the centuries.  
J.T. Turner brings the Bard to life in this adapted audio version of his successful one-man stage show.

    First published in 1914, the King of Alsander is the only novel by James Elroy Flecker, best known as a poet, but also a noted scholar, linguist and diplomat.   Flecker's love of learning, language and travel, and his keen satirical insight into politics are all in evidence in this phantasmagoric tale.  As the author himself describes it:  Here is a tale all romance - a tale such as only a Poet can write for you, O appreciative and generous Public - a tale of madmen, kings, scholars, grocers, consuls, and Jews: a tale with two heroines, both of an extreme and indescribable beauty: a tale of the South and of sunshine, wherein will be found disguises, mysteries, conspiracies, fights, at least one good whipping, and plenty of blood and love and absurdity: a very old sort of tale: a tale as joyously improbable as life itself. - Summary by Algy PugCast list:Norman Price: Phil BensonJohn Oggs: Phil BensonLabourer: Phil BensonMrs Gaffekin: Michele EatonNancy: Michele EatonPeronella: Michele EatonMalsprita: Michele EatonGuard: Michele EatonCrowd: Michele EatonVicar: Patrick WallaceOld Man: Patrick WallaceWilliam Price: Patrick WallaceCanthrop: Patrick WallaceCesano: Patrick WallaceWizened Man: Patrick WallaceConsul: Patrick WallaceVorza: Patrick WallaceColonel: Patrick WallaceVicar’s Daughter: Eden Rea-HedrickWidow Prasko: Eden Rea-HedrickShopkeeper: Eden Rea-HedrickPresident: Eden Rea-HedrickArnolfo: Eden Rea-HedrickIanthe: Eden Rea-HedrickDrakina: Eden Rea-HedrickCuvas: Eden Rea-HedrickPeter Smith: Eden Rea-HedrickLady: Eden Rea-HedrickJohn Gaffekin: Alan WeymanKing: Alan WeymanButler: Alan WeymanDoctor: Alan WeymanClerk: Alan WeymanMakzelo: Alan WeymanFather Algio: Alan WeymanCaptain of the Guard: Alan Weyma
