Frantic Assembly's electrifying take on Shakespeare's tragedy of
paranoia, sex and murder, firmly rooted in a volatile twenty-first
century. In a world of broken glass and shattered promises, of
poisonous manipulation and explosive violence, Othello's passionate
affair with Desdemona becomes the catalyst for jealousy, betrayal,
revenge and the darkest intents. As relevant today as it ever was,
Othello exposes the tension, fear and paranoia buried beneath the
veneer of our relationships and how easily that can be maliciously
exploited. Frantic Assembly's touring production was first
performed in 2008, with revivals in 2014 and 2022. This edition of
Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett's muscular, radically adapted text
also features articles and interviews about the production and
Frantic Assembly's revolutionary work.

For years, technologists and computer scientists have promised an
AI revolution that would transform the very basis of how we imagine
and administer modern medicine. AI-driven advancements in medical
error rates, diagnostic accuracy, or disease outbreak detection
could potentially save thousands of lives. But health AI also
carries the potential for exacerbating deep systemic biases if left
unchecked. The Doctor and the Algorithm combines insights from
science and technology studies, critical algorithm studies, and
public interest informatics to better understand the promise and
peril of health AI. The book draws on case studies in automated
diagnostics, algorithmic pain measurement, AI-driven drug
discovery, and death prediction to investigate how health AI is
made, promoted, and justified. It explores the enthusiastic
promises of health AI marketing communication and medical futurism
while also analyzing the inequitable outcomes new AI technology
often creates for already marginalized communities. Finally, the
book closes with specific recommendations for regulatory frameworks
that might support more ethical and equitable approaches to health
AI in the future. Interweaving textual analysis and original
informatics, The Doctor and the Algorithm offers a sobering
analysis of the promise of medical AI against the real and
unintended consequences that deep medicine can bring for patients,
providers, and public health alike.

Fatherland is a bold, ambitious show about contemporary fatherhood
in all its complexities and contradictions. Created by Frantic
Assembly's Scott Graham, Karl Hyde from Underworld and playwright
Simon Stephens (Punk Rock, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the
Night-Time), this daring collage of words, music and movement
confronts the complexities and contradictions of contemporary
fatherhood. A vivid, urgent and deeply personal portrait of
21st-century England at the crossroads of past, present and future,
the play is inspired by conversations with fathers and sons from
the writers' home towns in the heart of the country. Tender and
tough, honest and true, Fatherland is a vital and necessary show
about what we were, who we are and what we'd like to become. The
world premiere of Fatherland took place at the Royal Exchange
Theatre, Manchester on 5 July 2017 as part of Manchester
International Festival. This is a revised version of the original
text which coincides with performances in London at the Lyric
Hammersmith as part of LIFT 2018.
