Medea - (National Theatre of...
Euripides
'She's chucked out like an old coat that nae langer fits him…' Medea and Jason, clinging together as refugees in Corinth, have struggled to bring up their beloved offspring in this alien and unsympathetic society. Now Jason has a plan to better integrate himself. Unfortunately, this involves abandoning his wife, the mother of his children… Spurned, destitute, desperate, Medea exacts her terrible retribution. Liz Lochhead's Scots-inflected version of Euripides' classic revenge tragedy was first performed by Theatre Babel in 2000 and won the Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year Award. It was revived by the National Theatre of Scotland as part of the 2022 Edinburgh International Festival, with Adura Onashile as Medea, directed by Michael Boyd.

Adam Blanford, Tobias Hunter,...

What Breaks Us - a love letter...
Megan Davis
“What Breaks Us” by Megan Davis is a cathartic collection of poetry that channels pain and angst into strength for healing and self-discovery. This poetry collection is a candid reflection on heartache, loss, and the difficult work of self-examination to uncover unhealed wounds. With topics ranging from love to spirituality, grief to psychology, Davis’s poetry is an outpouring of emotion that balances the deeply personal with the universality of the human experience. Davis initially began writing poetry in lieu of journaling, using creative writing as a way to process tumultuous feelings of attraction, loneliness, struggles with mental health, her relationship with spirituality, and the suffering faced by people around the world. She wrote the poems without intending to share them with an audience, and the palpable honesty in each piece of work reflects that intimacy, as well as the author’s approach to poetry as personal catharsis. As the sections of the collection progress, readers move through phases of the author’s life alongside her, from heartbreak and anger to battles with addiction, through to growing self-acceptance, connection with others, and ultimately, a sense of empowerment built on perseverance and a willingness to engage with pain as a source of strength. Beautifully written and poignantly capturing the internal battles faced by many, Davis’s poems are a touching portrait of the things that hurt us – and the ways these damaging experiences can be alchemized into sources of hope and growth.

Worldly Things
Michael Kleber-Diggs
“Sometimes,” writes Michael Kleber-Diggs writes in this winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, “everything reduces to circles and lines.”In these poems, Kleber-Diggs names delight in the same breath as loss. Moments suffused with love—teaching his daughter how to drive; watching his grandmother bake a cake; waking beside his beloved to ponder trumpet mechanics—couple with moments of wrenching grief—a father’s life ended by a gun; mourning children draped around their mother’s waist; Freddie Gray’s death in police custody. Even in the refuge-space of dreams, a man calls the police on his Black neighbor.But Worldly Things refuses to “offer allegiance” to this centuries-old status quo. With uncompromising candor, Kleber-Diggs documents the many ways America systemically fails those who call it home while also calling upon our collective potential for something better. “Let’s create folklore side-by-side,” he urges, asking us to aspire to a form of nurturing defined by tenderness, to a kind of community devoted to mutual prosperity. “All of us want,” after all, “our share of light, and just enough rainfall.”Sonorous and measured, the poems of Worldly Things offer needed guidance on ways forward—toward radical kindness and a socially responsible poetics.
