<div>The first stand-alone edition of Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama.</div>

“As I try to come to grips with the lack of control I have in terms of my own visibility and commercial success within the American Theater, I remain convinced that I have control in terms of how I see my identity. How I Learned to Drive gave me that gift. It felt as if the play was rewriting me, and I will always remember the sensation of lightness I had in the middle of the night as I wrote it. This is the gift of theater and of writing: a transubstantiation of pain and secrecy into light, into community, into understanding if not acceptance.” — Paula Vogel, from her Preface
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Paula Vogel’s How I Learned to Drive is widely recognized as a masterpiece of contemporary drama. It is published here for the first time as a stand-alone edition. Paula Vogel is the author of Indecent, The Baltimore Waltz, The Long Christmas Ride Home, Don Juan Comes Home from Iraq and A Civil War Christmas, among many other plays. She has held a distinguished career as a teacher and mentor to young playwrights, first at Brown University and then at the Yale School of Drama.

Modern Plays

As the stakes get higher in Patrick Marber's critically-acclaimed debut play about compulsive gambling and addiction, the game turns savage... now no one's safe when everything's on the line.

Dealer's Choice

A follow-up volume to McLaughlin's The Greek Plays, this is a striking collection of modern adaptations inspired by classic Greek texts.

Ellen McLaughlin returns with a new collection of adaptations and modern reimaginings of classic Greek tragedies. Drawing on works by Sophocles, Homer, Aeschylus and more, these plays breathe fresh life into timeless questions and conflicts that still feel startlingly relevant today: Can civilization survive humanity’s basest instincts? What do we do about the human compulsion toward violence? Are we irreversibly transformed by the trauma of war and political strife, or is there a chance we can recover a part of our former selves? This collection includes the plays Ajax in Iraq (from Sophocles), Kissing the Floor (Sophocles), Penelope (Homer), Mercury’s Footpath (Euripides), and The Oresteia (based on Aeschylus’ trilogy Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides).

Ajax in Iraq, Kissing the Floor, Penelope, Mercury’s Footpath, and The Oresteia

The Greek Plays 2

“It’s not really surprising that our generation would be&nbsp;struggling. It’s a sane response to an insane world.”

When the school’s lockdown alarm sounds everyone assumes&nbsp;it’s a drill. But soon a group of year 9 students find themselves&nbsp;stuck in a geography classroom with only Deputy Head&nbsp;Prefect Jamie to keep them under control. It becomes clear&nbsp;that the school is in lockdown because of an ‘incident with a&nbsp;pupil.’ While the group speculates as to the identity of the&nbsp;student and the nature of the ‘incident’ it slowly emerges&nbsp;that, although no one’s talking about it, the students are all&nbsp;grappling with mental health issues of their own.

Nina Lemon’s insightful play sensitively explores the&nbsp;challenges faced by a group of school kids as they cope with 
a high-stakes school system in a world that’s piling on the&nbsp;pressure.

Masking is an original play created with and for youth arts&nbsp;charity Peer Productions.

<blockquote>
"Moving and unflinching- Masking not only reflects the realities of today’s classrooms but celebrates the voices of those within them." - Katy Secombe (actor, director, drama coach)

</blockquote>
CASTING: 7 actors of equal weight (3 identifying as female, 2 as&nbsp;male and 2 of any gender - playing 13-17 years)

RUNNING TIME: 60-75 minutes

Plays for Young People

Two plays made up of ten short stories that bring together the wild imaginations of school children with major writers from the North East of England. Based on the pioneering Live Tales creative writing model at Live Theatre in Newcastle, placing children's authorship at the centre of the creative process, Wintry Tales offers a series of brilliant, alternative takes on the Christmas story. A mysterious bout of snowfall in ASDAA wizard detective with a love of hot chocolateA lonely polar bear seeking another sharp-toothed friendAn elf kickstarting a worker's revolutionSimple in form but deliciously rich in ideas, these explosive dramatic works can be performed by just two actors on either a packed or empty stage. It's all about the words! And the outrageous ideas behind them...The perfect book for anyone seeking an alternative Christmas offering, whether to read, perform or watch live onstage. Rory Mullarkey is one of the UK's leading playwrights with a major body of work that spans The National Theatre, The Globe, The Royal Court Theatre and beyond. Lisette Auton is a hugely prominent disabled writer, and author of the major books for children The Secret of Haven Point, The Stickleback Catchers, and Lights Up.

Wintry Tales

An anthology of six new plays written in Arabic, published here in English translation. Including five plays selected from over 500 submissions to Masrah Ensemble’s 2021 Open Call and one by Masrah Ensemble’s former playwright-in-residence, these six texts—by Yasser Abu Shaqra, Arzé Khodr, Rim Mejdi, Wael Qaddur, Nasr Sami, and Leila Tubal—represent a diverse array of voices and styles, and push at the limits of theatrical form and public discourse. The volume features an introduction by theater writer/director/academic Hanan Qassab Hassan along with short introductions to the plays by US-based playwrights Lucas Baisch, Jess Barbagallo, Agnes Borinsky, Nazareth Hassan, Kristen Kosmas, and Haruna Lee.Ruby&nbsp;by Leila Tubal (Tunisia)Translated by Hisham Ben Khamsa, with an introduction by Haruna LeeA rhythmic monologue, lyrical and dark, in which a woman unpacks a life of misogyny and violence as she prepares to meet her daughter for the first time.Braveheart&nbsp;by Wael Qaddur (Syria)Translated by Clem Naylor, with an introduction by Lucas BaischA play about a group of friends writing a novel together, in which relationships collapse and get rebuilt through the act of writing. How do you move out of a state of war into a time of presumed stability?Eternity&nbsp;by Rim Mejdi (Morocco)Translated by Melanie Magidow and Caline Nasrallah, with an introduction by Kristen KosmasA young woman is stuck on a train, and just wants to get off. An allegorical knot of a play that moves between liveness and video, vernacular and formal Arabic, with interludes from Rimbaud's French.Sometimes We Remember&nbsp;by Arzé Khodr (Lebanon)Translated by Clem Naylor, with an introduction by Nazareth HassanA Fornesian diamond of a play that unfolds in a series of seemingly simple domestic and urban scenes, about the lure of dwelling in memories of war.Dog and Cat Pizza Chapters&nbsp;by Nasr Sami (Tunisia)Translated by Sam Kimball, with an introduction by Jess BarbagalloA dizzying trip into a world of violence and distortion, by way of the Biblical Song of Songs. In which cats are nailed to walls, and two lovers seek to become one.Unsettled&nbsp;by Yasser Abu Shaqra (Palestine/Syria)Translated by Zeina Halabi, with an introduction by Agnes BorinskyA Syrian family arrives as refugees in Europe, where life does not resemble what they imagined. Over the course of the play, each member of the family finds themselves backed deeper and deeper into a corner, and “safety” proves a devil’s bargain.

Futures: An Anthology of Contemporary Arab Theater

Trained
 in classical piano and Marxism and raised on jazz, gospel, pop, hip 
hop, and Black revolutionary politics, Pulitzer Prize finalist Eisa 
Davis’s plays are marked by her stunning intimacy with the praxis of 
music alongside radical change. In Angela's Mixtape,&nbsp;time shifts like a mixtape,&nbsp;and like a mixtape, the play is both a memoir and a gift—for us, of course, and for Davis’s aunt,&nbsp;activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis, under whose tutelage Davis reads&nbsp;Das Kapital and&nbsp;learns to drive stick and&nbsp;hack her own way toward inheriting her legacy. In The History of Light,
 Davis counterpoints the intertwining fates of two couples under 
racialized pressures a generation apart. Lush with the sound of the 
grand piano, The History of Light is a study in black and 
white, love and alienation.&nbsp;Underlying the political clarity and formal 
virtuosity of Davis’s writing are the unexpected crackles of a voice 
warming up, the crunchiness of missed notes. Because for an artist 
concerned, like Davis, with how we become who we are and might be, error
 is a necessary instrument—maybe the sounding weight.

Contemporary Dramatists

The first collection of plays from Olivier-nominated playwright Isley Lynn, whose award-winning work uplifts their deeply human characters through stories that are unexpected, radically intimate, and profoundly theatrical. Lean (2013): "It's not just powerful but it's incandescent. There is a profound intensity... that truly keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Sensitively written... Exemplary theatre at its best." The London StageSkin A Cat (2016): "Frequently hilarious, it's also refreshingly honest and open in its discussion of menstruation, masturbation, oral and anal sex, and might well be the smartest, sharpest piece about female sexual identity since Phoebe Waller Bridge's Fleabag... this is bold and genuinely exciting new writing." The Stagealbatross (2021): "Every intimate, individual scene is engaging, as the full-bodied characters knock up against their own judgments and histories... Lynn's scenes are full of genuine connections between characters, and the hope that comes with change." GuardianThe Swell (2023): "Isley Lynn's characters are nuanced and beautifully drawn, and the play's dialogue is gorgeously natural and flowing. Where the playwright really excels though, is in bold and unexpected choices. The Swell takes its audience on some hugely gripping twists and turns. Lynn's writing is genuinely exciting." Evening StandardIsley won the Charles Wintour Most Promising Playwright Award at the 2023 Evening Standard Theatre Awards for The Swell, which was also nominated for Outstanding Achievement In An Affiliate Theatre at the 2024 Olivier Awards, as well as Best New Play, Best Director, and Best Production at the 2023 Off West End awards. Skin A Cat was awarded Pick Of The Year at Vault Festival 2016 and nominated for four Off West End Awards (Most Promising New Playwright - shortlist, Best New Play, Best Lead Female, Best Director) for its transfer as inaugural production at The Bunker, 2016, before touring nationally throughout 2018. Isley was the 2014 Script6 winner at The Space with Bright Nights, they received Special Commendation from the 2012 Soho Young Writers Award for Lomography, and they were twice named Champion of Literary Death Match (Norfolk and Norwich Festival, The Book Club London).

Illuminations

The fourth title in TCG Books’ Illuminations series is a thrilling drama that examines the pressures racism exerts both in the streets and in the newsrooms that cover them.Rookie journalist Yvonne arrives at her first big-city newspaper job determined to prove herself as a serious investigative reporter, only to be segregated with the other Black reporters at Outlook, a section focusing on human interest pieces designed to highlight positive developments in the Black community. When a white teacher is murdered in the Black neighborhood where he teaches, Yvonne jumps at a tantalizing lead pointing to a local all-girl gang as the culprit. Soon though, her story begins to conflict with the facts on the ground. As rival reporters chase down leads of their own, veteran writer Neil begins to suspect that this is not the first time Yvonne has told a dramatic story instead of the prosaic truth. What follows is a breathless depiction of an urban newsroom in crisis, as Yvonne races to get her stories straight—both the one she’s writing, and the one she tells about herself.
