The Waltz

Lord Byron

Sinossi

"The Waltz" is a poem written and published by Lord Byron in October 1812. The poem describes the point of view of the London author on the Waltz, a particular type of dance.The waltz, in fact, was the most fashionable dance in London in the early 1800s ,and Lord Byron hated all types of dance. The text, therefore, is somewhat bizarre and satirical: it's a shameless criticism of the waltz and the ridiculous physicality of the waltz dancers. The text perfectly describes Lord Byron's hatred of dance in general.

There Are No Beginnings (NHB...

Charley Miles

This is not a story about the Yorkshire Ripper.
It's 1975 and Sharon just wants to marry Donny Osmond. Her mum, June, is working to keep girls like Helen off the street, and Fiona is desperate to get inside the Milgarth Police Station incident room.
Between the years of 1975 and 1980, the women of Leeds lived in fear. With no clue as to who was responsible for the sustained attacks and murders across the city, the authorities urged women to stay at home. From the fear and fury, a steadfast solidarity arose, birthing the Reclaim the Night movement and echoing down the generations to this day.
Charley Miles's play There Are No Beginnings was premiered at Leeds Playhouse in October 2019, in a production featuring Julie Hesmondhalgh.
