"In some ways, it feels like we are performing tog "In some ways, it feels like we are performing together." - read Ollie Maddigan's heart-felt article in The Times as he prepares to open his play The Olive Boy at Southwark Playhouse Borough next week.

High praise from The Stage for Jade Franks' smash High praise from The Stage for Jade Franks' smash hit Eat the Rich (but maybe not me mates x) - selected as one of the top 50 plays nationwide this year. 

"This hugely entertaining autobiographical hour from writer-performer Jade Franks was the big hit of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. With echoes of Brideshead Revisited, Posh and Saltburn, it followed Franks’ experiences after she swapped her working-class Liverpool community for the arcane rituals and preposterous privilege of Cambridge University. It almost didn’t happen after Franks’ funding fell through at the last minute. Now, it is being adapted into a Netflix show. Forget Fleabag and Baby Reindeer: this is the new Edinburgh Fringe success story." - Fergus Morgan

We’re publishing Ollie Maddigan's heartfelt comedy We’re publishing Ollie Maddigan's heartfelt comedy, The Olive Boy.

Opening at Southwark Playhouse on 14 January, The Olive Boy is based on Ollie's real life story. The Offie-winning solo show introduces The Olive Boy: Forced to change schools and move in with a man he barely knows, The Olive Boy is attempting to stay sane and finally get a real girlfriend. It's tough being 15, right?

Mark McGhee – frontman of cult Glasgow band The Gi Mark McGhee – frontman of cult Glasgow band The Girobabies – has cracked open his lyric notebooks so you don’t have to keep pausing the tracks to work out what he's on about.

If By Magic is a collection of lyrics, spoken-word and off-kilter anthems about hangovers, hope, heartbreak and holding it together when the world goes sideways. Part gig, part confession booth, part love letter to Glasgow’s underbelly.

Available from Salamander Street or any bookseller - or get it from the Girobabies' Bandcamp - just in time for Christmas.

King Hamlin is a gripping play by Gloria Williams King Hamlin is a gripping play by Gloria Williams about three young men trying to get ahead in inner-city London.

A powerful, lyrical drama about masculinity, friendship, knife crime and the poverty trap, King Hamlin is perfect for theatres, youth companies and schools looking for bold contemporary work that speaks directly to young audiences.

King Hamlin by Gloria Williams is available from Salamander Street.

IF BY MAGIC is out today. Congratulations to Mark IF BY MAGIC is out today.

Congratulations to Mark McGhee.

Fifteen years of chaos, calamity and community from The Girobabies, detonated onto the page. Mark McGhee’s lyrics, rants, sermons and bad ideas—all the anthems, side quests and existential hangovers—now bound in radioactive green.

If you’ve ever shouted along in a sweaty Glasgow venue, lost your voice to a chorus you barely knew, or needed a hymn sheet for the beautiful nonsense in your head, this one’s for you.

Published today by Salamander Street.
Grab your copy of IF BY MAGIC now - from Girobabies Bandcamp or Salamander Street. 

(And yes, it reads best at full volume.)

In this throat-ripping zombie play, Tobias hates m In this throat-ripping zombie play, Tobias hates mash and Steve hates Tobias, but when they discover their Mom is patient zero in a world of flesh-eating zombies, there’s no time for ‘feelings’.

Physical comedy and a post-modern backdrop collide to tell the nightmare story of an absentee father, an uncommunicative mother and a zombie apocalypse bursting through the door.

CASTING: 3 women / 3 men

This book is illustrated with blood-curdling anime by Daniel Kettle, introducing the characters and action in all their gruesomeness. Grab a copy if you think you're brave enough.
