Plays & Poetry

Zinnie Harris's retelling is played against the backdrop of British politics at the turn of the last century - to revel a world where duty, power and hypocrisy rule. Zinnie Harris's version of A Doll's House premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in May 2009.

Versions by one of Britain's best-known poets of Yannis Ritsos (1909-90) - along with Cavafy, Seferis and Elytis - one of the most significant Greek poets of the 20th century. Harsent's selection is of poems written while Ritsos was in prison or under house arrest.

Hattaway’s signature pared-back style reveals the starkness at the heart of life experiences – family connections, expectations, disappointments, grief.

With skill, grace and a masterful lightness of touch, these poems shimmer and float in the imagination long after the final page.

Compiled in honour of pioneering poet Eavan Boland and Catherine Rose, Ireland's first feminist publisher, Washing Windows? is a wide-ranging and insightful collection of poetry by 100 contemporary Irish women writers, including Edna O'Brien, Moya Cannon, Mary O'Malley, Martina Evans, Katie Donovan and Nuala Ni Chonchuir.

Washing Windows Too contains 100 new poems, selected by co-editor Alan Hayes, by Irish women, living on the island and abroad, who have not yet published a full collection of poetry.

Washing Windows III contains 100 new poems by Irish women poets who are shaping a new poetry world. These writers come from all parts of the island and beyond. The age range spans over seven decades, and, as with all Arlen House anthologies, diversity is integrated throughout, in all its glory and in all its honesty.

Washing Windows IV: Irish Women Write Poetry is a celebration of the wealth of creativity and vision in Ireland, north and south, in both languages, by contemporary women writers.
