Beautiful and deeply moving: a testament to the indomitable flowering of queer identity and found family through grief and the cracks of time. --The Stage Nineteen-year-old Pip is trying to find themselves through gardening. But with a dad more interested in plants than people and a mum stuck in the past, they're left to ponder life's questions alone. Then one day, they uncover a jacket in the attic that's been gathering dust. Bold, vibrant, and very '80s, in its pocket lies a diary belonging to someone long gone. Swept up in the mystery, Pip digs into the past, unearthing secrets about an old friend their parents don't want to discuss... Funny, affecting, and beautifully queer, Coral Wylie's play Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew tracks one family's efforts to assuage the past and plant the seeds of a better future.

Kings don't kill their wives alright? It's not--it just don't happen. It doesn't. Tudor England. A field in Essex. Three women hurry to their childhood meeting place, thirsty for gossip from London. Word spreads of a clash between King Henry VIII and his Queen, Anne Boleyn. And closer to home, another rumour threatens to catch fire. As these women realise the parallels between their ordinary, rural lives and the royal drama taking place at a distance, they are faced with several choices, all of which end in violence. Ava Pickett's play 1536 is a fiendishly smart and funny new play which asks whether female solidarity can survive in a world where barbarism and misogyny are state sanctioned.

Peer Gynt est une pièce en cinq actes d'Henrik Ibsen, écrite en 1867, qui retrace la vie mouvementée de Peer Gynt, un jeune homme rêveur, vantard et égoïste, fuyant constamment la réalité et ses responsabilités. Inspirée du folklore norvégien, la pièce suit Peer depuis son village natal, où il est rejeté pour ses mensonges, jusqu'à ses voyages fantastiques à travers le monde, où il devient tour à tour fugitif, marchand d'esclaves, prophète et aventurier. Malgré ses nombreuses expériences, Peer ne parvient jamais à se trouver lui-même. De retour en Norvège, âgé et désabusé, il prend conscience de l'échec de sa vie, mais retrouve finalement l'amour fidèle de Solveig, qui incarne le pardon et la rédemption.

Verstörend und provozierend: Frank Wedekinds Erzählung 'Über die körperliche Erziehung der jungen Mädchen'.Die Unterscheidung zwischen Geist und Körper ist eine abendländische Erfindung: Frank Wedekind setzt diesem cartesianischen Postulat voraus: Der menschliche Körper muss erzogen werden.In 'Mine-Haha' - das Wort ist indianischen Ursprungs und bedeutet 'Lachendes Wasser' - werden junge Mädchen einem pädagogischen System unterworfen, das durch Gymnastik und Tanz ihre körperliche Ertüchtigung bewirken soll, ganz im Sinne des das 19. Jahrhundert bestimmenden und darüber hinaus wirkungsmächtigen Diskurses über Disziplinierung und Selbstdisziplinierung des Körpers sowie über die soziale Ordnung der Geschlechter.Handlungsort ist ein entlegener und abgesperrter Park im Schatten eines mysteriösen Staates, wo das Mädchen Hidalla aufwächst. Dort kümmern sich die älteren Mädchen um die Erziehung der jüngeren, beaufsichtigt von Lehrerinnen und Dienerinnen. An den Park ist ein Theater angeschlossen, in dem auserwählte Mädchen nachts Stücke aufführen, bevor sie ganz aus dem Park gebracht und vor den Toren von jungen Männern abgeholt werden.Der Text ist Utopie wie Dystopie. Nicht zufällig hat Wedekind der Erzählung die fiktive Herausgeberin Helene Engel vorgeschaltet, deren Name an die Frauenrechtlerin Helene Lange erinnert. Gleichzeitig beschwört er suggestiv Bilder von mehr als irritierender Sinnlichkeit, die auch heute, im Zeitalter von #MeToo, verstören und Diskussionsstoff liefern.

Sam doesn't get out much. Actually, he doesn't get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things - his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he's forced to reckon with what's trash, what's treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.

Some family secrets aren't buried - they're silenced.This compelling true story exposes the hidden emotional damage inflicted within a family where loyalty gave way to betrayal. With unapologetic honesty, the author breaks the silence surrounding years of manipulation, mental harm, and unspoken pain. More than a memoir, this is a reckoning, a call for truth, accountability, and healing. Because sometimes the only way to honour the past... is to speak it aloud.

Uber is the world's largest taxi company but they don't own any cars. Airbnb is the largest hotel business on the planet but they don't own a single hotel. I had not even heard of Airbnb a few years ago. Now I use the application regularly. The internet continues to change our lives in so many ways. Most of us don't realize how the internet has changed dating and matchmaking. Most people don't care. But almost everyone will be looking for companionship and love at some point in their lives and now the internet is a viable option in that search. A lot of people continue to just call a taxi. And most people still think using the internet for dating is "looking for love in all the wrong places." I believe that perception is beginning to change. I think more and more people will be using this method in the future. One of the reasons I am writing this book is to provide some guidance through this very complicated and potentially dangerous process. I am hoping someone will learn from my experience. I am also writing it to gain a better understanding of this very complicated and controversial part of my life. I am not a professional writer. I don't know the difference between a split infinitive and a dangling participle. Both terms sound mildly sexually suggestive to me. I am just a simple storyteller and this is my story. My story is true but I made some assumptions that turned out to be wrong. I give my opinion and my opinion changed over time. Others will have conflicting opinions and they might be right. It is not my objective to give specific advice. I simply tell a true story about success, hope, failure, despair, and survival. If you have ever been in love you are likely familiar with these feelings. I hope you will learn something from my successes and my failures. And I hope I have learned something. But, I am a slow learner.
