Dear Woman

Michael E. Reid

Sinossi

Find the power within yourself to overcome doubts and fears and live in this world as the best woman, friend, daughter, mother, and wife you can be.   No one has just one page in their life story. That’s why Dear Woman has everything—quotes, letters, short stories, and poems to educate, motivate, encourage, and provide a little tough love. This open letter is just as multifaceted and inspirational as you are.   Michael E. Read wrote this book because he wants nothing more than for you to be the best woman possible, regardless of circumstance. In Dear Woman, he encourages you to feel the same way. This is more than a self-help book, more than just relationship advice for women—though it does include both of those things. No, this inspirational open letter, full of poetry and wisdom, is life advice just for you.   You are an amazing woman. Deep down, you know that. Dear Woman isn’t here to tell you that you need to improve. Rather, it’s here to tell you that you can be your true self—for yourself. This is the life advice you need, because you deserve to thrive for no other reason than the fact that you are a woman.  Dear Woman was written in hopes of shedding a little light and love. Let it add some brightness to your life. After reading this book, you will: · Love yourself whole-heartedly · Know that you deserve the best · Be confident regardless of what life throws at you

Everything Not Saved (NHB Modern...

Theatre Malaprop, Carys D. Coburn

Ex-lovers argue about when they were happiest, police officers rewrite history, and Rasputin dances like no one's watching. Oh, and also the Queen is there.
We're going to feed the present to the past. It's a kind of ritual. A kind of sacrifice. Memory always is.
Everything Not Saved by Carys D. Coburn with MALAPROP Theatre was first staged at the 2017 Dublin Fringe Festival, where it won the Georganne Aldrich Heller Award for a standout Irish artist or company that demonstrates innovation and connects with audiences. It was subsequently staged at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
'Malaprop Theatre play mind tricks on us… Everything Not Saved interrogates ideas about faking history, questioning absolute certainty and curating cultural memory… the company's deeply layered meta-theatricality dances a step ahead of the audience, teasing and probing' - Guardian

St David's Day - A Holiday in Verse

Alun Lewis, Dafydd ap Gwilym, W....

It comes as no surprise to the average Welsh person that their culture continues to thrive despite centuries of seeming servitude to the English.  Wales, exemplified by the symbol of the Welsh dragon, is a small proud nation of many talents, large imaginations and even bigger hearts. 
 
Saint David's Day, or the Feast of Saint David falls on the 1st March each year on the anniversary of his death in 589 AD. The feast has been regularly celebrated since his canonisation in the 12th century. 
 
Traditional festivities include wearing the symbols of Wales and St David; daffodils and leeks, eating the National dish of cawl, a thick heartwarming soup, as well as the classic Welsh rarebit, and parades throughout the day featuring the traditional dress. 
 
The pride in its culture and history is keenly felt and in this volume the poets of Wales through the ages bring verse that fortifies and uplifts the soul of a nation and its much admired literary merits.

A Doll's House

Henrik Ibsen

The play concerns the fate of a married woman, who, at the time in Norway, lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world. Despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play, it was a great sensation at the time and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theater to the world of newspapers and society.

Ramallah (NHB Modern Plays)

David Greig

A writer returning home from Palestine to his wife is gently challenged as to where exactly his priorities lie.
'I wrote the play after a number of trips to Palestine working with young playwrights,' explains Grieg. 'It tries to capture the awkwardness of return, because the people at home have carried on and are sort of grounded, while you're kind of still in the air.'
