Cider Country
It's time we thought about where our fruit comes from. But once you've read this book, you'll wish you'd never found out.Welcome to Cider Country - home to the apple orchards of Australia's Central Victorian region. Not only do they produce the nation's favourite fruit, it's also the main ingredient in one of our favourite summer drinks. But behind the apples is a myriad of twisted tales and an infinite number of colourful characters including racist supervisors, fugitive journalists, sexually promiscuous Muslims, concert promoters, Thai Princes, rabid dogs, aspiring models, failed writers, French musos, ex-cons, former triads, self-harmers, Jazz man Ryuichi Sakamoto and 'fucking Angus and Julie Stone (sic)'. There's also a mole who's about to blow the whole industry apart, along with a new blend of cider which might just save the world. This collection of comedically dark and interlinked tales will have you thinking about apples, cider and life itself in a whole different light.
I, Daniel Blake
The official tie-in book for the eponymous Palme d'Or winning film, featuring the screenplay, photos, production notes, and more.
Jimmy's Hall
A story inspired by the life and times of Jimmy Gralton, the only Irishman to ever be deported from Ireland. Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun. The official tie-in book of the major motion picture Jimmy's Hall, from Palm d'Or filmmaking team Ken Loach and Paul Laverty, it includes the original screenplay, photos from the film, and production notes from cast and crew, including Paul Laverty, Ken Loach, and Rebecca O'Brien.
I, Daniel Blake
Dan is a carpenter. A Geordie through and through. He had a heart attack recently, but he's on the mend now. Katie has just arrived from London. She's finally got a council flat, somewhere for her and her daughter, Daisy. A fresh start. In adversity, people come together. But when the system is stacked against you, how does anyone get by? With 14.5 million people (Joseph Rowntree Foundation 2022 Poverty Report) living in poverty in the UK, this is not fiction. It is reality. I, Daniel Blake was originally a film - directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty and produced by Rebecca O'Brien for Sixteen Films - which won the 2016 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This touching and vital stage adaptation by Dave Johns, who played Dan in the film, toured the UK in 2023, co-produced by tiny dragon Productions, Northern Stage, Birmingham Rep and ETT, in association with Cardboard Citizens.
Bread and Roses
Bread and Roses is Paul Laverty's third collaboration with director, Ken Loach. In this screenplay Laverty explores the most marginalized of LA communities taking on their corporate bosses against all odds. Filming exclusively in the US and South America, Loach moves outside his traditional turf and creates a stronger film for it. Solidly grounded in political and social issues, the film takes on the double standards of the US, allowing Mexican labour to be bought at the lowest rates, yet providing no employee rights, and with the constant threat of deportation.
In the State of Excitement
Surrounded by this much sand and sea, in a city where stifling 40-degree days are considered the norm. And with an economy, infrastructure and political system which rests largely on the whims of eastern states' bureaucrats stationed 3,000 kilometres away - many of whom have never bothered to make the four-hour flight. All this can send a population literally to the edge. It can bring out the worst in people and, occasionally, the very best. This collection of short stories from Perth, Western Australia, features a motley bunch of characters including bikies, FIFOs, murderers, adulterers, bigots, terrorists, lawyers, screw-ups, pro-surfers, a guy who defecates visions of Jesus, and some who make it in this Big Country Town, along with many more who fall between its cracks. In the State of Excitement is a short story collection showing a side of Perth that even those who've lived here all their lives have never experienced, despite this madness lying right on their doorstep.
