Tannahill J: Draw Me Close

Draw Me Close

Modern Classics

A moving story about love, political action, and one woman's journey from a brutal existence to her own liberation.

Sunset Baby

"There is great imagination and intrigue here, and it is eminently entertaining." - The GuardianBackdropped by the bleak English moors, two sisters (and their dog) live a dreary existence, as they dream of forbidden love and power. So, when a hapless governess and a moor-hen arrive at their manor house, the two see a chance to claim what they've always wanted... no matter how destructive. A loving pastiche of the gothic genre, Jen Silverman echoes and channels the Brontë sisters in this irreverent celebration, that is equal parts brutal, lusty, and deranged. A macabre, queer thriller, The Moors is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Christine Scarfuto.

Methuen Drama Play Collections

Between 2020 and 2022, theatre had to adapt and, in doing so, challenged ideas of what was possible, and what was even 'theatre'. Due to the global pandemic, an exceptional and wide range of works made for, or adapted to, brand new conditions and limitations. While these works are defined by interpandemic conditions in the Anthropocene, they serve as portals to thinking about theatre-making in the future. Gathered in this collection are pieces adapted or made for podcast theatre, livestream illusionist interactive performance, audience-uploaded hybrid performance, one-on-one online interaction, lip-synch opera-theatre, climate crisis activist manifesto film/theatre, spoken word and gaming installation art, multi-location broadcast plays, providing an accessible introduction to 'Transmedia' theatre. Transmedia theatre has been a boundary-breaking and rich area of performance since the 1990s, but the (by necessity) explosion of works that were created during the early years of the pandemic signalled a new, exciting, and accessible method by which theatre-makers could share their work and also challenge their own practices. While these specific works are markers of a specific time in performance history, they also point ways forward, not only in terms of form and function, but in how educators, students and fellow practitioners could conceive of re-staging these works in person and/or on digital platforms. For a generation that has grown up online, whose vocabularies of expression are as much digitally native as they are IRL, transmedia theatre, and the realm too of VR and AR story and audience design which it borders, holds a firm place in busting open the realm of the possible.

A Contemporary Anthology

Transmedia Theatre Plays

"Sonya Kelly's rapier wit and intelligent awareness of the human condition, allied to consummate stagecraft skills, have made for what will probably be claimed in a few years' time as one of the hits of the decade" (Sunday Independent) Sonya Kelly's Druid Plays is a tour-de-force that transcends the boundaries of traditional storytelling, offering a captivating journey through the rich tapestry of the human experience. This anthology, a remarkable compilation of Kelly's insightful and witty plays, showcases her distinct voice and unparalleled talent as a playwright. Furniture (2018): in an age of rampant consumerism, is it easier to purchase symbols of identity rather than cultivate our own? Furniture is a humorous, insightful, touching and often philosophical look at who we are and how we'd like to be perceived. Once Upon a Bridge (2021): A tale for a modern age. Early one morning on Putney Bridge, three strangers' lives collided for one fleeting second. Inspired by real events, Once Upon a Bridge weaves a tale about human triumph and frailty, about the power of destiny and chance, and why sometimes we choose to hate, and other times we choose to dance. The Last Return (2022): Once upon a dreary night, five desperate strangers wait in line for a last minute ticket to the final performance of Oppenheimer's sold out smash hit. All they have to do is cross their fingers, be patient and wait their turn. But with more people waiting than tickets available, this is no time for patience, this is time for war. Who will triumph? Who will fail? And who will receive. The Last Return? All three plays were commissioned by Ireland's Druid Theatre and have premiered on stages and in digital productions around the world winning Fringe First Awards, multiple Irish Times Theatre Awards and a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Featuring a new introduction by Garry Hynes, Artistic Director of Druid, these plays are published together for the first time in one compelling collection.

Sonya Kelly’s Druid Plays

The first English-language anthology of Aristide Tarnagda’s theatre, this book brings together six of the acclaimed West African playwright's recent French-language plays. Winner of ADELF’s 2017 Grand prix littéraire d'Afrique noire (Best African Literary Work), Tarnagda blends poetic and colloquial registers to create powerful characters that resonate with the universal themes of longing, the need to be heard, and the realities of everyday life. This debut anthology now invites the anglophone world to encounter Tarnagda’s theatre alongside voices of West African scholars and theatre artists whose short forwards and afterword contextualise each of the translated plays and his impactful theatre career. The plays include: And If I Killed Them All, Ma’am? (2013) Tears from the August Sky (2013) Sank, or the Patience of the Dead (2016) Ways of Loving (2017) Red Earth (2017) Musika (2019) Along with an introduction by Heather Jeanne Denyer and completed by images of these productions, The Plays of Aristide Tarnagda is a fantastic introduction to not only this acclaimed and beloved playwright, but also to the themes and joys of francophone African theatre.

Arden Studies in Early Modern Drama

The concepts of trust and risk provide important insights into the social and cultural life of early modern England but remain relatively unexplored in early modern literary studies. This collection addresses that gap by exploring a wide range of literary genres and texts including comic drama, lyric verse, emblem books, ledgers, wills, polemical prose and religious epic. Contributors explore issues of personal trust through the faith and lies that characterize Shakespeare's sonnets, Donne's sermons and Milton's Paradise Lost. Following the idea of trust and risk into community brings us to a discussion of The Merry Wives of Windsor, the spiritual trust of faith communities and the network of relationships that are traceable though surviving records of women's wills. Following this progression outwards from the personal to the communal, the final essays in the collection consider the role of institutional trust, specifically the early modern obsession with credit in its various guises. The Merchant of Venice, Volpone and The Winter's Tale act as illustrative examples of credit's significance for understanding trust and risk in the early modern period. Taken together the range of texts and genres considered reveal new insights into early modern English literature and its socio-economic context.

This anthology documents a decade of some of the UK's most exciting queer performances, through a combination of retrospective scripts, development material and visual documentation.

 Queer performances are expected to live a brief, bright life without leaving any textual record. Indeed, they rarely begin with complete scripts at all, being often developed instead by performance practices designed to fill noisy bars, clinking cabaret venues and fringe theatres, typically for short runs. This lack of textual documentation underplays the importance of writing to contemporary queer performances, while rendering them vulnerable to disappearance in the diaphanous archives of memory.
 
Writing Queer Performance: Contemporary Texts and Documents features eight seminal works, captured though performance texts and visual documentation, that ensures their accessibility long after the event of live performance. Supported by a contextualizing introduction, the anthology provides a panoramic view of contemporary preoccupations, processes and practices. 

The works include:
 Black (2013), Le Gateau Chocolat
Pull the Trigger (2016), Vijay Patel
Re-Member Me (2017), Dickie Beau
DollyWould (2017), Sh!t Theatre
NIGHTCLUBBING (2018), Ray Young
Pleasure Seekers (2022), Bourgeois &amp; Maurice
The Making of Pinocchio (2022), Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill
Ten Commandments (2022), David Hoyle

Writing Queer Performance

Rediscover Anton Chekhov's acclaimed works in radical, creative new ways. The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard: Chekhov's major plays have been perennially popular since the late 19th century. But, as a new wave of diverse, contemporary theatre makers engage with his legendary works, these classics are transformed and reimagined by bold new approaches. In doing so, Chekhov's original drama is not only explored but reanimated and interrogated in revolutionary ways. From an ambitious one-person production, to a dance-poetry-play hybrid, to an intergalactic voyage, Chekhov’s work has never been so expansive or his experimental spirit so realised. This collection draws together seven contrasting adaptations, ranging from the formally inventive, to those that relocate the originals in times and places that expose forces of privilege and power. With an introduction by Frances Babbage which equips the reader with key methods of conceptualising dramatic adaptation, as well as providing a critical overview of the long history of Chekhovian rewritings for the stage, Adapting Chekhov in the 21st Century is a much-needed tool for adaptation and theatre studies students and Chekhov enthusiasts alike.

Adapting Chekhov in the 21st Century

Penguin Modern Classics

After ten long years spent away from Dublin, Richard, Bertha and their young illegitimate son Archie are back home. Despite expectations of comfort and domesticity, the couple's return to the place where they first met triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. James Joyce's only surviving play, Exiles builds upon one of his most famous short stories, 'The Dead', to provide a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire.
