This is a book about how to be the guy that everyone needs right
now. In a world full of negative influences, LADS is a toolkit for
teenage boys on respect and consent, helping them call out bad
behaviour and giving them the confidence to be their best selves.
Have you ever been in a situation where there's a loud guy making
dodgy comments, cracking jokes that only he thinks are funny or
leering at the girls in the room? You can feel the tension, right?
That Guy is the worst, but no one is saying anything, because the
whole situation is intimidating and awkward. This toolkit will help
you call out bad behaviour and understand the serious issues facing
girls today. And it will make you feel confident navigating
relationships, so that everyone feels happy, heard and respected,
while being the best version of yourself. From flirting disasters
and what staying in the friend zone really means, to the perils of
porn, 'locker room talk' and the importance of consent, this is a
vital handbook for lads who are fed up of That Guy, and who want to
help create positive change. Recommended for ages 13 and over.
'a bedrock of the Scottish theatre industry' The Guardian 'a major
part of Scotland's new playwriting landscape' The Scotsman After
running for fifteen years, the founding principles of A Play, a Pie
and a Pint remain steadfast - a new play at lunchtime every week
that lasts no more than an hour, accompanied by a pie and a pint.
As well as producing thirty-three new plays per year, Oran Mor also
biannually hosts its much-adored pantomimes for grown up kids -
both Summer and Winter - which have become a staple of the Glasgow
theatrical calendar. This first volume collects some of the most
popular and critically acclaimed plays from the phenomenal back
catalogue. Includes the plays: A Respectable Widow Takes to
Vulgarity (Douglas Maxwell) Toy Plastic Chicken (Uma Nada-Rajah)
Chic Murray: A Funny Place for A Window (Stuart Hepburn) Ida Tamson
(Denise Mina) Jocky Wilson Said (Jane Livingstone and Jonathan
Cairney) Do Not Press This Button (Alan Bissett)
In October 2007, writers Mike Small and Kevin Williamson launched
Bella Caledonia at the Radical Book Fair in Edinburgh. Since then,
Bella has consistently explored ideas of self-determination and
offered Scotland's most robust political commentary. In the run up
to Scottish independence referendum, international interest grew
and Bella Caledonia had more than 500,000 unique users a month,
with a peak of one million in August - in 2015, the site was named
as one of the top 10 political blogs in the UK by Cision. This
anthology, curated by Mike Small, is a flavour of Bella's output
over these 14 years the editor's pick. Bella is aligned to no
political party and sees herself as the bastard child of parent
publications too good for this world; from Calgacus to Red Herring,
from Harpies & Quines to the Black Dwarf. Under Mike's
editorship, Bella has developed a 'Fifth Estate' as a way of
disrupting the passive relationship of old media, creating
something more active and appropriate for the 21st century - it's
about concentration of ownership, and bringing together radical
coverage with cultural analysis. Hence the plethora of wide-ranging
voices in this anthology, each representing outlier viewpoints in
contemporary society - novelists, poets, bloggers and journalists
publishing in non-mainstream media outlets, and the social media.
"Bella Caledonia has been a flagship for progressive thought in
Scotland, providing a platform for informed and creative writing,
advocating a progressive and independent nation fit for the
future." Stuart Cosgrove "Bella has been to be a constant thorn in
the side of the powerful voices who would prefer that conventional
wisdom went unchallenged, that awkward questions went unasked, and
bold solutions went unheard." Peter Geoehgan
The Ching Room A pitch-black two-hander set in a toilet
cubicle. Rory realises he is out of his depth once he becomes
trapped by the terrifying and enigmatic drug-dealer, Darren.Â
Cast size: 2M. “Has subtle depth as a meditation on drug
culture… The character of Darren is a demon for our
times.” The Scotsman “Exudes the same sort of
self-assurance as Gregory Burke’s debut, Gagarin Way… You can
see real talent at work here.” Metro “As tight as a short drama
set in a toilet cubicle should be…A curiously compelling little
play… A script riddled with priceless back-alley gems.” The
Herald “It’s exciting, totally absorbing theatre.” City Life,
Manchester Turbo Folk A sharp look at Scottish nationality at home
and abroad. Set in the sort of bar you wouldn’t take tourists to,
in an unspecified Balkan country, Turbo Folk earned Bissett a
nomination for Best New Play at the 2010 Critics’ Awards for
Theatre in Scotland (CATS). Cast size: 3M. “Tells its
story with pace and economy and delivers a real and frightening
dramatic punch… The games Bissett plays with language are
dazzling.” The Scotsman

By day, Charlie Bain is the school's most inspiring teacher. By
night he prowls the stylish bars of Glasgow seducing women. Fuelled
by art, drugs and fantasies of being an indie star, Charlie
journeys further into hedonism, unable to see the destruction his
desires are leading everyone towards... One of Scotland's dazzling
young writing talents tackles the modern phenomenon of sex
addiction. Dark, funny and deliciously erotic, DEATH OF A LADIES'
MAN is an intense portrait of male vanity, written with verve and
emotional rawness.
A dazzling performance (think Forrest Gump, think Curious Incident,
think Anne Donovan's Buddha Da) from one of Scotland's brightest
new talents. Adam Spark. Eighteen going on eight-and-a-half.
Fast-food worker. Queen fan. Last in the queue for luck. On waking
from an accident in which he saves a child, he has the distinct
impression that all is far from right. What are these curious
lights that seem to surround people? Why are animals and machines
trying to speak to him? And can he really control time? Is it just
his imagination, or has Adam Spark been chosen to become Scotland's
first, and only, superhero? This, however, is the least of his
problems. The local gang is luring him into deeper and darker
peril. His sister and lone carer, Jude, is giving all her love to
another woman. And if Jude abandons Adam - or Adam drives her away
- all the superpowers in the world won't be able to save him.
