This is Tom Stoppard's award-winning play, set in Derbyshire. The
orderly classicism of Lady Croom's Capability Brown grounds are
being turned into picturesque romantic chaos, as fashion dictates,
by landscape architect "Culpability Noakes". In a Regency room
overlooking the work is Lady Croom's brilliant adolescent daughter
- Thomasina Coverly, with her handsome, clever tutor Septimus
Hodge. Their maths lesson is disturbed by, among others, the
imperious, amorous Lady Croom and Ezra Chater, a cuckold and minor
poet, determined on satisfaction. One hundred and eighty years
later, in the same room, a corresponding group, comprising a
mathematician, a biographer/historian, and a vulgar academic, try
to unravel the events of 1809 - with spectacularly wrong results.

I am scared, that once this war is over, and I am sent home, that
you won't be here. That you will have left. Leonard and Violet,
young, restless and in love, spend their first night together
knowing it may also be their last. It's 1942 and, in a hotel room
in Bath, they dream of their future while preparing for Leonard's
departure to the war. But the bombs begin to fall and their world
will never be the same again. In the year 2002, the couple look
back at what might have been. Examining the impact of the Second
World War on two ordinary lives and a love that spans more than
sixty years.
"Are me feet off the floor yet? Are me feet off the floor?" In a
rainy town in the north of England, there are strange goings-on.
Dad is building a pair of wings, eating flies, and feathering his
nest. Auntie Doreen is getting cross and making dumplings. Mr Poop
is parading the streets, shouting louder and louder, and even Mr
Mint, the head teacher, is getting in a flap. And watching it all
is Lizzie, missing her mam and looking after her dad and thinking
how beautiful the birds are. What's behind it all? It's the Great
Human Bird Competition, of course. Who will be the first to fly
across the River Tyne? David Almond's barmy, tender and funny tale
about wings and faith, written for the Young Vic to accompany their
production of Skellig. It has since been performed many times
around the world, and also adapted by Almond into a much-loved,
much-translated novel, with illustrations by Polly Dunbar.
