Teachers, students and youth theatre makers — this Teachers, students and youth theatre makers — this is well worth a read.

In this excellent blog for Salamander Street, Ollie Maddigan reflects on The Olive Boy, writing powerfully about teenage grief, humour as defence, masculinity, and the difference between the “front” we present and the truth underneath.

It is full of insights that make the play especially useful for study, discussion and performance.

Colin Chambers took to the stage at Arundel Litera Colin Chambers took to the stage at Arundel Literary Festival to talk about Peggy — his compelling portrait of the formidable play agent Margaret Ramsay.

Now published: Chekhov’s Little Comedies The seco Now published: Chekhov’s Little Comedies

The second title in the Salamander Street Classics series, this new adaptation by Richard Nelson is based on translations by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.

Bringing together Chekhov’s short comic writing into a single theatrical evening, this edition offers a compelling way to encounter his dramaturgy beyond the major plays. Rich in irony, social tension and psychological detail, Little Comedies reveals the precision of Chekhov’s comic craft while opening up fresh possibilities for performance, study and discussion.

A valuable text for students, teachers, actors and directors interested in adaptation, translation and the continuing stage life of classic drama.

OUTLIER by Malaika Kegode is a raw, lyrical and em OUTLIER by Malaika Kegode is a raw, lyrical and emotionally charged play about friendship, addiction and isolation among young people growing up in rural Devon. Blending spoken-word energy with music, it offers theatre companies a dynamic contemporary text that can be staged inventively and shaped around ensemble performance.

A strong choice for anyone exploring new writing that feels urgent, theatrical and alive.
