Story
In fuga dalla schiavitù, il viaggio di una madre alla ricerca dei figli e della libertà. "È questa la libertà?" si chiede Rachel, mentre corre in una foresta immersa nel buio, sola, atterrita, esausta. Sta scappando dalla piantagione in cui ha trascorso tutta la sua esistenza, da un lavoro sfibrante, da un padrone brutale. Lo stesso padrone che, quella mattina del 1834, ha annunciato la fine della schiavitù, per poi aggiungere che tutti loro avrebbero dovuto prestare servizio come apprendisti per altri sei anni. Una beffa atroce. In quell'istante, qualcosa in Rachel si è spezzato.

Story
Dr John Cooper Clarke's dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see. In WHAT, the original 'People's Poet' comes storming out of the gate with an uproarious new collection, reminding us why he is one of Britain's most beloved writers and performers. James Brown, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker's acerbic pen – and that's just the first poem.

Story
Die Familie Bennet hat fünf Töchter. Eine Heirat mit einem möglichst begüterten Mann ist die einzige Karriere, die ihnen das Leben zu bieten hat. Leicht vorstellbar, dass es jede Menge Aufregung gibt, als zwei junge Männer von Vermögen in die Gegend ziehen. Schon bald macht Mr. Darcy, ein standesbewusster Gutsbesitzer, der munteren und geistvollen Elizabeth einen Heiratsantrag, den sie jedoch spontan ablehnt. Sein Freund Charles fühlt sich sehr zu Elizabeths älterer Schwester Jane hingezogen. Ein verwirrendes Spiel um leidenschaftliche Gefühle und Eifersucht beginnt.

Story
Antony and Cleopatra (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Anthonie, and Cleopatra) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The play was first performed, by the King's Men, at either the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre in around 1607; its first appearance in print was in the Folio of 1623. The plot is based on Thomas North's 1579 English translation of Plutarch's Lives (in Ancient Greek) and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Sicilian revolt to Cleopatra's suicide during the Final War of the Roman Republic.
