Tomorrow morning, you and Frank Armitage are getting wed. In my opinion, marriage is blind optimism at any time, but especially in wartime. It's an act of faith.Taking its title from a line in Philip Larkin’s poem 'MCMXIV', An August Bank Holiday Lark explores the impact of the First World War on a rural community in East Lancashire.Set in the idyllic summer of 1914 rural Lancashire, everyone in the community is excited about Wakes week; a rest from field and mill and a celebration of the Rushbearing Festival with singing, courting, drinking and dancing. The looming war barely registers . . . but it will.Through the lens of traditional rural life, the play follows the stories of the people of the village and witnesses their personal transitions from exuberance to touching naivety as they manage their loss with courage and humanity.An August Bank Holiday Lark received its world premiere on 7 February 2014, in a touring production by Northern Broadsides and New Vic Theatre.

The August Uprising, 1924: The Georgian Anti-Soviet Revolt and the Birth of Democratic Socialism

The August Uprising, 1924: The Georgian Anti-Soviet Revolt and the Birth of Democratic Socialism

For three years following the Russian Revolution, the small South Caucasian country of Georgia was independent. Unlike Russia, it was a democracy, with free elections and respect for human rights. But Stalin ordered the Red Army to invade, and to bring the country back under Russian rule. The Communists proved to be unpopular rulers, with their attacks on political opponents, trade unions, cooperatives and even the church. Resistance grew, and in 1924 a nationwide armed uprising broke out. It was swiftly crushed, followed by massacres of thousands of defenseless people, including hostages. What happened next changed everything. The reaction of Social Democratic and Labor parties across Europe was shock and indignation. The split between the international Communist and Socialist movements, which began when the Bolsheviks seized power, deepened and became permanent. Opponents of the Soviets began to describe Communism as "red fascism" and their own movement as "democratic socialism". What followed--including Socialist support for the creation of NATO--was the result of that Georgian uprising and its aftermath. A century later, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the long-forgotten Georgian experience seems more relevant than ever before.

It is August, 1929. Fresh and rested from his case in The Daed lus Conspiracy in July, which took him to the Daed lus Grove in Northern California to foil an assassination attempt, Cyrus Skeen hires a new secretary, the promisingly capable Clara Reyes. Soon after that, he is approached by a man, Bruce Willowman, who wishes him to try to find the murderer of his younger brother, Beauregard, in San Francisco five years before. It seems that the man was murdered by a nun, a member of the Sisters of the Apostolic Faith, who drove a small crucifix through one of his eyes. The man appeared to have been drunk and had been booted from a high-class brothel close to the Apostolic Faith convent, and then attacked the nun. The nun subsequently disappeared from the convent. The police know her name and have her fingerprints, but cannot find her. The murder is now five years old, and the murderess, if found, would not be protected by a statute of limitations. The victim's brother received a note from a person who claimed to have witnessed the attack on the nun, and that now she had seen the murderess near the convent days before. When Skeen reads the note which contains the murderess's name, he is shocked to learn that it is someone he and his wife, Dilys, know very well. He does not let on to Bruce Willowman that he knows the alleged murderess. He takes on the case and begins to uncover some curious and perilous secrets kept by the convent.
