    Subhi is a refugee. Born in an Australian permanent detention centre after his mother fled the violence of a distant homeland, life behind the fences is all he's ever known. Now his imagination is pushing at the limits of his world.
One day, Jimmie appears on the other side of the fence, bringing a notebook written by the mother she lost. Unable to read it, she relies on Subhi to unravel her own family's mysterious and moving history. Together, Subhi and Jimmie must find a way to freedom, and they must be braver than they've ever been before...
The Bone Sparrow, Zana Fraillon's powerful and deeply moving novel about the displacement and treatment of refugees and sanctuary seekers, has been widely read and studied around the world since its publication in 2017.
This enthralling stage adaptation by award-winning Australian playwright S. Shakthidharan was first produced on a UK tour in 2022 by Pilot Theatre with York Theatre Royal, Derby Theatre, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, and Mercury Theatre Colchester.
Also included: a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.
Praise for the novel, The Bone Sparrow:
'With an affecting and distinctive narrative voice... [Zana Fraillon] builds a convincing and complete world. Moving and memorable, The Bone Sparrow deserves to be read by all who care about our common humanity' Guardian
'A heartrending tale about how our stories make us, and also an angry polemic, vividly convincing in its detailed description of what it means for your home to be a tent in the dust behind a guarded fence' Sunday Times
'This is a tragic, beautifully crafted and wonderful book whose chirpy, stoic hero shames us all' Independent
Winner of the Amnesty CILIP Honour Award
Shortlisted for the Carnegie Award and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize
'Powerful... such stories are as necessary as ever' - Guardian
'Powerful and moving... the writing soul-shakingly communicates the truthfulness of the characters' experiences' - Observer
'A timely reminder of our unseeing cruelty towards those forced out of their homes by war, genocide, or other atrocities' - British Theatre Guide

    'So, if you Americans already have cornflakes and Woolworths, what brings you to England?'
It's 1973, and a young man from Des Moines, Iowa, has arrived on the ferry at Dover. He intends to conquer the whole of the island, like Caesar attempted before him.
But Caesar didn't have to deal with counterpanes, kippers, Cadbury's Curly Wurlies, or Mrs Smegma the landlady's eccentric house rules. As Bill travels the length and breadth of Britain, through villages with names like Titsey and Little Dribbling, something strange starts to happen. Can it be true? Is he really starting to feel at home?
Bill Bryson's smash-hit memoir Notes from a Small Island spent three years in The Sunday Times bestseller list, sold over two million copies, and was voted the book which best represents the UK.
Tim Whitnall's hilarious stage adaptation was first produced at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2023. Written for an ensemble cast of seven (but suitable for a cast of dozens), it will appeal to amateur drama groups as a glorious celebration of one of the nation's most beloved books, and a brilliant dissection of the enduring quirks of our small island.

    "Lady Gazelle" is one of Maryam Hosseinyan's well-known works that primarily focuses on the life of a lonely and wounded woman. The story of this woman unfolds with the news of her pregnancy, which becomes a turning point that impacts her life. She escapes from the reality of being pregnant and facing the challenges it brings, fleeing instead into a world of dreams and thoughts. This escape from reality and taking refuge in another world becomes her last resort to cope with her problems and to endure life's challenges.
