Sinopse

The interwar English playwright Noël Coward is best known for his highly polished comedies of manners, including the enduring masterpieces ‘The Vortex’, ‘Hay Fever’, ‘Present Laughter’ and ‘Blithe Spirit’. His plays caught the clipped speech and brittle disillusion of the generation that emerged from the Great War, while his popular songs and revues struck the world-weary note of his times. An indefatigable genius, he performed almost every function in the theatre, including producing, directing, dancing, singing and acting, as well as directing motion pictures. This eBook presents Coward’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    A Haunting short horror story Excerpt: Walking up the golden stairs, with clouds on either side. All my burdens lifted, then, I heard a sob behind. The gates of heaven opened, I stop, I turn, I sigh. From my lips comes a moan, as tears fall from her eyes. Heaven would become my Hell if I walk through those gates. I cannot leave my love behind, forever we are mates. 
    Come walk with me through this terrifying journey of "MY Hell." There has never been a story written like this before. This short story takes about an hour to read. Enjoy

    A child is born and everything is made anew. In this blur of new beginnings there are tears and laughter, new words and new silences: this is an unmaking and remaking of the self.
    From short stories about unnerved fathers and lost mothers, to poems about 'half-built Lego palaces' and friends who share their deepest secrets, Blood & Cord is a raw exploration of new parenthood. Voicing silenced conversations about loss, grief, and loneliness, as well as the joys and laughter that are part and parcel of becoming a parent, the stories told within offer a refreshingly honest account of life after new life.
    This collection is a hand in the dark, offering comfort and solidarity to any new parent.

    "take a stroll with me" is a collection of 58 poems by Mallory Shoemaker that celebrates the act of choosing joy. These poems are rooted in fairytale whimsy and like the truest stories, there is a little bit of darkness around the edges. At the core, this collection shows my joy in the face of many hardships– the spark I hold inside that I want to share with you.

    'The supernatural is possible and the impossible is natural and life teeters on the edge of the unreal'
    Malachi's been looking forward to a fresh start at uni for months. He's settling in, he's got a stack of books to read and he's met someone new – Kojo, a musician with a megawatt smile, who's basically perfect.
    But something doesn't feel right. He keeps having the same nightmare – sinking, crushed by the weight of the ocean – and it's getting worse… A beast grows in the water, hungry, relentless, hunting him but always just out of sight. As the boundaries between nightmare and reality fracture, Malachi must fight harder than ever to stay afloat.
    Kwame Owusu's play Dreaming and Drowning is an intimate and visceral deep-dive into the boundless mind of a young Black queer man wrestling with anxiety.
    It won the Mustapha Matura Award, was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award, and was one of the winning plays in the RSC's 37 Plays competition. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in November 2023, directed by the playwright, performed by Tienne Simon, and produced by WoLab.
