The Westbridge
'Everyone lived perfectly happily round here together before you young ones try to integrate and confuse things.' The accusation of a Black teenager sparks disturbance on the South London streets. While tensions rise and local rioting starts, a couple from very different backgrounds navigate the minefield between them, their families and their disparate but coexisting neighbourhood. Joint winner of the 2011 Alfred Fagon award (under its former title SW11), The Westbridge showcases an array of multiple voices. Presenting a microcosm of multicultural society, this depiction of London's melting-pot spans ethnicities, religions, generations and outlooks. A very real, convincing drama of human individuals underpins this ambitious, far-reaching and relevant play. Picking apart an intricate tangle of cultures, religions and generations, The Westbridge showcases an array of voices from modern society with humour, style and bite.

Waiting for the Rapture
Even though author Ian Ransom's childhood environment tried to drain the life out of him, his Granny gave him an emancipating gift that helped him survive the chaos-laughter. Carrying on with the help of humor, he eventually found success by refusing to believe that the world is anything less than magical. Escape awaits you in Waiting for the Rapture, a collection of Ransom's real-life witticisms. Ransom pulls no punches as he discusses childhood abuse, the Virgin Mary, rock star encounters, quirky soul mates, and madcap misadventures. His candid stories are a necessity for all who still believe that stubborn imagination-and magic-can make the difference between survival and destruction. Internationally noted author of Mary and the Ossuary, Ransom delves deep into a masterpiece of vignettes that reveal heartbreak and the triumph of the human spirit through laughter.
