| Title: Alice In Canning Town |
| By (author): James Kenworth |
| ISBN10-13: 1910067822 : 9781910067826 |
| "Cor blimey, Alice in Wonderland as youve never seen it before!All the favourite characters are still there, but in new, modern guises. A cockney rabbit, a rave-mad Mad Hatter, a hookah-smoking ex-Bollywood actor, Tweedledee and Tweedledum as hipsters, and a would-be grime artist called MC Turtle. Alice in Canning Town is a kaleidoscopic journey through an East End that survived Hitlers blitz and reinvented itself as a leading light in multicultural Britain.Alice falls down an East End rabbit hole... and finds herself invited to lots of parties. The trouble is the totalitarian Ministry of Fun decrees there can only be one party and everyone disagrees what kind it should be. Alice has to try to bring the warring tribes of the Underground together and defy the mighty Ministry and fight for their right to party together.Reconfigured specially for the East End, and performed site-responsively in Canning Town's Arc in the Park, an inclusive adventure playground in Canning Town, it's the fourth in a quartet written by James Kenworth that explores the borough's rich heritage and shows off the talent of its young people. |

| Title: An Evening with Lucian Freud |
| By (author): Laura-Jane Foley |
| ISBN10-13: 1910067369 : 9781910067369 |
| It is the day of Laura's Ph.D. viva and she arrives early at the university research office. While she waits, she recounts the extraordinary tale of the evening she spent with the artist Lucian Freud. Based on a real life encounter, this personal, anecdotal tale is blended with art historical and biographical insights and features a range of fictionalised sitters who have been on the receiving end of Freud's unflinching gaze. Laura-Jane Foley's compelling monologue with video cameos takes us inside Lucian Freud's studio and lays bare the fascinating and complex character of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. The play explores the themes of memory, permanence and creativity, and ultimately reflects on how artists, and writers, must use people to make their art. "An Evening with Lucian Freud" received its world premiere at the Leicester Square Theatre, London on 19 May 2015. |

| Title: An Honourable |
| By (author): Michael McManus |
| ISBN10-13: 1910067725 : 9781910067727 |
| What if the bitter wounds caused by Brexit do not heal? What if the Brexit vote, UKIP, even the BNP and the EDL what if all that was just the beginning? Joe Newman is the mainstream Labour MP for a traditional, working-class constituency in the North of England until Momentum try to oust him. Unwittingly they unleash a tide that could destroy not only Labour and the Conservatives but also every assumption anyone has ever made about what is acceptable in the mainstream of British politics. This is also a study of how political success and personal disintegration can go hand in hand. |

| How safe are our children in the care of a stranger? How much do we know about the people we work with? How far would we go to protect ourselves? A town that's haunted by an incident at the nearby Scouts centre. Regular swimming lessons come to a halt when a swimming instructor is accused of inappropriately touching a child during a lesson and the dangers of Facebook creep to the surface. When history appears to repeat itself what can we do but expect the worst. Put on your water-wings, listen to the evidence and decide for yourself... This publication is the English translation for the UK première of the play held at Park Theatre, London. |
