  Robert Holman: Plays (NHB Modern...

  Robert Holman writes plays of startling beauty, combining close observation of the way people behave with a thrilling and often fiercely uncompromising mastery of dramatic form. He is the playwright most admired by other playwrights. To Simon Stephens, he is 'My favourite living writer'.
  Here, in this selection from Holman's first decade of playwriting, a monkey is taken for a French spy by an eighteenth-century fishing community; the inhabitants of a Greek island reside under the shadow of the atom bomb; and a group of lonely people converge on the North Yorkshire moors.
  With a new introduction by Holman himself, this volume contains The Natural Cause (Cockpit Theatre, London, 1974), Mud (Royal Court Theatre, London, 1974), Other Worlds (Royal Court, 1983), Today (Royal Shakespeare Company, 1984) and The Overgrown Path (Royal Court, 1985).
  'Holman's instinct for truth, and an unaffected ability to spot what's poignant in it, is what one remembers: that, and a paradoxical impression of spare richness, astringent abundance' - The Times

  Shakespeare's Ghost - A Radio...

  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.

  Michael O'Loughlin has earned an enduring reputation as one of Ireland's most important poets and writers. Poems 1980–2015 brings together and celebrates a poetic career spanning nearly four decades and includes new, previously unpublished poems. Exploring major themes such as identity, language, exile and return, O'Loughlin's work has an exceptionally strong international outlook and a fierce dedication to social and historical justice.
