Based on over seventy interviews conducted around the world by playwright Paul Lucas, Trans Scripts, Part I: The Women is a compelling exploration of the lives of trans women, as told in their own words. These unique and compelling stories are honest, funny, moving, insightful, and inspiring, but most of all, they are human, shedding light not on our differences but on what we all, as humans, share.

Communicating with Our Families: Continuity, Interruption, and Transformation explores the impact of personal communication technologies on family communication. In this historical moment, novel communication technologies and social media applications infiltrate our family units. This edited collection examines how communication technologies are shaping childhood, parenthood, and families by exploring topics such as parental loneliness, family storytelling, family technology rules, mindful technology usage, multigenerational communication, and community. The scholars in this volume work from a human communication perspective and use various research modes of inquiry including quantitative, qualitative, and interpretive methods. Through the integration and presentation of diverse research questions tested and responded to from a variety of scholarly approaches, a nuanced exploration of communication technology utilized within a family setting is provided. Since the family is indeed "the first communication classroom," this volume interrogates how that classroom may be changing and the implications of that change on different roles, responsibilities, and relationships within the family. Perhaps the most significant question implied by our contributors in this volume: Will the introduction of new communication technologies fundamentally alter familial forms and will those new grouping that emerge resemble what has been generally assumed for several millennia?

But this secluded lifestyle is disrupted when mysterious stranger slippy arrives on their doorstep, wounded, dying, and begging them for help. The couple struggle to continue their misanthropic existence as Slippy fights for survival - but can life be the same after his arrival?

Two dead dentists covered in lipstick - quite a week for the bumbling Detective Edwards. He gathers together a crack team of police minds to help him solve a case that seems to strike at the very heart of Middle England. But as more and more bodies show up in ever more bizarre circumstances, it's not too long before the crack team begins to, well...crack. Paul Lucas' new black comedy is one of the most genuinely touching and heart-warming plays ever written about murderous mayhem.
