Sinopse

"Jack Straw: A Farce in Three Acts" by William Somerset Maugham delivers a delightful romp through mistaken identities and social pretensions. The story follows Jack Straw, a witty and charming waiter who impersonates an aristocrat to woo the beautiful Ethel. Amid humorous misunderstandings and comedic entanglements, Jack navigates high society's quirks and class divides. Maugham's sharp dialogue and clever scenarios create a light-hearted yet incisive commentary on love, ambition, and the absurdities of social status.

    Hilarious, brutal and tragic, Delirium is a radical re-interpretation of The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's classic and compelling tale of family rivalries. The play is the result of a collaboration between acclaimed company theatre O and award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.
    The Karamazovs are a train wreck waiting to happen. A hated father and his sons battle it out over women, money and God. They don't so much live as burn up. Behind them lurks a servant, taking note of it all; and to the side, two beautiful women, clinging onto impossible loves.
    Delirium was first performed in April 2008 on tour prior to playing at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, and the Barbican, London.
    This volume includes illustrations by Paddy Molloy.

    Catherine Morland knows little of the world, but who needs real-life experience when you have novels to guide you? Seizing her chance to escape her claustrophobic family and join the smart set in Bath, she meets worldly, sophisticated Isabella Thorpe – Iz, to her friends – and so Cath's very own adventure begins.
    This playful and surprising reimagining of Northanger Abbey is infused with the spirit of Jane Austen's original novel and fizzes with imagination and humour. It was premiered in 2024 at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, before touring to Octagon Theatre, Bolton, Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, and Theatre by the Lake, Keswick.
    'Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of any sort of… disappointed love.'
    'A smartly playful adaptation that pulses with real passions… it asks big, clever questions about personal agency, authorship and control… Austen would thoroughly approve' - Evening Standard
    'Moves at a tremendous clip… the wooing is done with such subtlety and good humour' - The Times
    'An incisive adaptation that approaches the tale from a fresh, contemporary angle… exuberantly, unashamedly silly… Quick-fire scenes jump about in time, skilfully picking apart the narrative with flashbacks that offer new context, or cutting away to asides where the characters debate their real intentions… an appealing, intriguingly flawed protagonist… unexpected and intriguing' - The Stage
    
    'A spirited three-hander romp… it's exhilarating, transmuting Austen's daftest novel into something really quite beautiful' - Time Out

    WAKE UP HUMANITY is a silver medalist in the Poetry-Inspirational category of the 2019 International Book Awards. It is not your ordinary book of poems with rhymes and stanzas that only touches a specific topic. It talks about all of us, the entire humanity, about our reason for existence, and the results of our conscious and unconscious actions in our world and our power as human beings.   
    This is a collection of free verse poems, beautifully written for humanity. It beckons us to pause, reflect, and look within our souls to remember our true nature and live it. 
    Each chapter will make you think and ask: who we truly are, why we are experiencing the same challenges over and over again, what kind of a source we are in this world and how we can improve our current condition as powerful beings, the collective consciousness for a better world.
