Even people who claim to hate Shakespearean comedy have to admit that they love A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The original play is already naturally divided into three realms: the mortal world, the faerie realm and the play within the play, thus it presents the perfect opportunity to double and triple cast the same actors. So it was really only a matter of time till somebody came up with the crazy idea to stage the whole thing with only three people. Those crazy people are Tony Addison, John Burlinson and Sonia. The outcome of their collaboration is a 3 hour tour-de-force full of surprises: ...

The play was written between 1603 and 1606 and later revised. Shakespeare's earlier version, The True ...

Story0
EngineerGuy Stories is Bill Hammack — the EngineerGuy — telling the stories engineering usually leaves out: the wrong turns, the dead ends, and the way a craft so often runs ahead of the science meant to explain it. Each episode takes a single object or idea and follows it where it wants to go, fifteen minutes at a time, told the way you'd tell it to one person across a table. No interviews, no hurry — just how engineers actually work, and why the real story is almost always stranger than the tidy version.

A powerful return to the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains that extend underground. Where the colour green calms us, and the forest sharpens our senses. In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world. In an era of climate change, many of us fear we’ve lost our connection to nature, but Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans to the forest remain alive and intact. We just have to know where to look.
