This is my first tax return. Thank you...erm for offering to...for helping. I realise it's a bit weird. It's just. This is...it's the only way I can think to make it better.

And afraid...And now he must face his dreaded self assessment form, with every receipt evoking the good times and the bad - memories of things gone wrong, gone right, the journeys he's been on, the relationships that have begun and ended and the people he has lost. As Ben begins to stitch together...

"I'm also going to give you some advice. Your husband is not the Red Cross. The last time he started consoling a cute, suicidal chick, he married her. "
"Becky Shaw" is an amusing and cleverly constructed comedy about ambition, the cost of being truthful, and the perils of a blind date. The fast and funny dialogue navigates between five distinctively perverse and disingenuously dysfunctional characters.

It's like being at a crossroads - a point of absolute, unequivocal change. It makes the blood rush.
April, 1984. Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is watching him, and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye. Its ideas have become our ideas, and Orwell s fiction is often said to be our reality. The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in a radical new adaptation exploring why Orwell s vision of the future is as relevant as ever. "This is a staging that reconsiders a classic with such steely power that it chills brain, blood and bone." - The Times " A] pitilessly brilliant retelling." -...

I feel this . . . thing inside me. Just here. Next to my heart. It's small. The size of sparrow. I don't know what it looks like. But I know it's got claws because it scratches. And I imagine it to be dark blue - mauve almost - like the veins on my mum's hands. I hear it talking. Its voice is high pitched and screeching. It's talking about all the things we've done.
A wickedly comic satire about a young couple offered a way out of the housing crisis, and just how far they're prepared to go for it.
Ollie and Jill want to tell you about their dream home. Some of the things...
