For Charly, every day is the same. Things used to be different, when there was Clo, but now there isn't Clo, and Charly doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple. But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world of knock-off Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone. Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute, one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation. It premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Martha Watson Allpress's play Patricia Gets Ready (for a date with the man that used to hit her) is a solo show exploring what it's like to survive an abusive relationship. It was first staged at VAULT Festival 2020, then at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2021. Patricia has spent a year recovering from an abusive relationship. But when she bumps into her ex on the street, she accidentally agrees to go to dinner with him that night. Now she's got some big decisions to make. What to wear? What to say? And... whether or not to go? The premiere production was directed by Kaleya Baxe and performed by Angelina Chudi. It was revived on a UK tour in 2022, performed by Yasmin Dawes, including a run at Brixton House, London.
I know you hey. You're the one that's always in the back of the library. Like a little library gremlin. Eating up knowledge. And Haribo... It's a new term at college and, for most of the Sixth Form students, all that matters are mocks, UCAS applications and whether or not Elliot Park and Georgia Smith had sex in the study room at lunchtime. After losing the election for student president, Aicha throws all her energy into the school's 'Extended Physics Project' – or, as she calls it, Space Club. One afternoon, Aicha is surprised by the appearance of the usually introverted and distant Bo, doubling the membership of Space Club. Whilst Aicha is thrilled to have a mysterious new friend, Bo is distracted by the black hole at the heart of her home life. She's worked so hard to launch herself into bigger and better things – but will Grud eclipse her efforts and pull her off course? Sarah Power's Grud is an exploration of pain and addiction in the relationship between a father and daughter. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Hampstead Theatre Downstairs in June 2024.
Set against the backdrop of an uncertain England and with original songs from Chris Cookson, Josh Azouz's play Victoria's Knickers is an irreverent tale of passion and violence told with an anarchic heart and a razor-sharp wit.

After dozens of books and articles by anonymous sources, here, finally, is a history of the Trump White House, with the President and his staff talking openly and on the record. In President Trump, Doug Wead offers a sweeping, eloquent history of President Donald J. Trump's first years in the White House, covering everything from election night to the biggest political obstacles of his presidency. The book will include never-before-reported stories and scoops, including how President Trump turned around the American economy, how he "never complains and never explains", and insight into how his actions sometimes lead to misunderstandings with the media and the public. President Trump features exclusive interviews with the Trump family about the Mueller Report, and narrates their reactions when the report was finally released. Wead successfully gained interviews with the President in the Oval Office, chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Jared and Ivanka Kushner, Donald Trump Jr, Eric and Lara Trump, and White House insiders for this illuminating history.
