American Normal
Asperger's Syndrome, often characterized as a form of "high-functioning autism," is a poorly defined and little-understood neurological disorder. The people who suffer from the condition are usually highly intelligent, and as often as not capable of extraordinary feats of memory, calculation, and musicianship. In this wide-ranging report on Asperger's, Lawrence Osborne introduces us to those who suffer from the syndrome and to those who care for them as patients and as family. And, more importantly, he speculates on how, with our need to medicate and categorize every conceivable mental state, we are perhaps adding to their isolation, their sense of alienation from the "normal." -This is a book about the condition, and the culture surrounding Asperger's Syndrome as opposed to a guide about how to care for your child with Aspergers. -Examines American culture and the positive and negative perspectives on the condition. Some parents hope their child will be the next Glenn Gould or Bill Gates, others worry that their child is abnormal and overreact.
Mr Bennet's Bride
Mr Bennet's Bride by Emma Wood is set in the 1780s, 25 years before the novel Pride and Prejudice opens. The play concerns the ill-suited couple Mr and Mrs Bennet, portrayed with such humour in that famous novel, and examines how they met and decided to marry. When it debuted in 2014, at the Newcastle Theatre Company, its ticket sales were the third highest in the group's sixty year history.

Stop!...the Play
"I have read the play, Evelyn! I keep reading the play but the play keeps on changing!" Five neurotic actors, one stressed Stage Manager, a crazed director, an invisible playwright and an escaped monkey are desperately rehearsing the world's worst play, which keeps being rewritten. And every rewrite is more hilariously terrible than the one before. And although It really shouldn't, somehow, the show manages to go on. "Stop! ...The Play is a fist-bitingly funny send-up of everything bad about bad theatre. A roar-out-loud gem of side-splitting brilliance" Grumpy Gay Critic *****

Perfect in Their Art
Since Homer, boxing has been fertile ground for poets. The boxer-as-tragic-hero archetype seems to have particular power in the poems collected here; fatallyy flawed champs like Jack Johnson and Sonny Liston are poetic subjects at least as often as Joe Louis and Ali.
