After a few months of being the "new kid" in Cypress City, Texas,
Jimmy Stringer thinks he's finally fitting in. Then, his parents
start arguing and can't seem to stop. Next thing, his dad, a
captain in the Air Force, up and disappears on the night of the
Summer Solstice. Rumors abound. Is Captain Stringer AWOL? Did he
desert? Jimmy knows better, but he doesn't know where his dad has
gone or why he didn't leave a note or some sign, if not for him, at
least for his mom. Relying on the help of his two buddies, Lupe and
Billy Ray, Jimmy makes it through a tough West Texas summer.
Finally, school starts again. Walking home from a high school
football game on the Autumnal Equinox, Jimmy sees an unusual
shooting star appear to land behind a neighbor's house. The next
day, he watches that neighbor's little Chihuahua, Elmer, explode in
Mr. Cadwallader's barbershop. Nothing is at it should be, but
something tells Jimmy it's all related to his dad disappearing,
and, just maybe, he and his friends can put it together and get his
dad back.
'Bit risky though, isn't it? Just sort of turning up to an isolated
peninsula in the North Sea without any sandwiches...' Kilnsea, East
Yorkshire. Angie and Lauren are closing up the cafe for another
winter; the birds have gone south and taken the tourists with them.
The last visitor is Dennis, stopping by for his pasty and beans.
But there's another arrival - one that's unforeseen and
life-changing for them all. Tom Wells' Big Big Sky is a beautifully
tender play which explores nature's influence on love, friendship
and family - the belief that anyone who's lost can be found, even
in the remotest of places. It was premiered at Hampstead Theatre in
July 2021, directed by Tessa Walker.
National Theatre Connections is an annual festival which brings new
plays for young people to schools and youth theatres across the UK
and Ireland. Commissioning exciting work from leading playwrights,
the festival exposes actors aged 13-19 to the world of professional
theatre-making, giving them full control of a theatrical production
- from costume and set design to stage management and marketing
campaigns. NT Connections have published over 150 original plays
and regularly works with 500 theatre companies and 10,000 young
people each year. This anthology brings together 10 new plays by
some of the UK's most prolific and current writers and artists
alongside notes on each of the texts exploring performance for
schools and youth groups. Salt Life is never plain sailing, but
when a new government initiative comes into place offering young
people the chance to train and learn skills overseas, droves of
teens jump at the chance to secure their future. Once on board the
transport ship, the promises of the glossy advert seem a far cry
from what lies ahead. A play about generations, choices and hope.
Class It's school election time and while most of the school is
busy enjoying their lunch break, a deadlock is taking place amongst
the members of the school council. Bitter rivalries, secret
alliances and false promises are laid bare. As a ruthless battle
ensues, who will win and does anyone really care? A play about
politics, populism and the 'ping' of a text message. The Sad Club
This is a musical about depression and anxiety. It's a collection
of monologues, songs and duologues from all over time and space
exploring what about living in this world stops us from being happy
and how we might go about tackling those problems. Chaos A girl is
locked in a room. A boy brings another boy flowers. A girl has tied
herself to a railing. A boy doesn't know who he is. A girl worries
about impending catastrophe. A woman jumps in front of a train. A
boy's heart falls out his chest. A butterfly has a broken wing.
Stuff Vinny's organising a surprise birthday party for his mate,
Anita. It's not going well: his choice of venue is a bit misguided,
Anita's not keen on leaving the house, and everyone else has their
own stuff going on. Maybe a surprise party wasn't the best idea? A
play about trying (but not really managing) to help. Flesh A group
of teenagers wake up in a forest with no clue how they got there.
They find themselves separated into two different teams but have no
idea what game they are expected to play. With no food, no water
and seemingly no chance of escape, it's only a matter of time
before things start to get drastic. But whose side are people on
and how far will they go to survive? Ageless In a not too distant
future, Temples pharmaceutical corporation has quite literally
changed the face of ageing. Their miracle drug keeps its users
looking perpetually teenage. With an ever youthful population, how
can society support those who are genuinely young? The Small Hours
It's the middle of the night and Peebs and Epi are the only
students left at school over half-term. At the end of their night
out, former step-siblings Red and Jazz try to navigate their
reunion. With only a couple of hours until morning, Jaffa tries to
help Keesh finish an essay. As day breaks, Wolfie is getting up the
courage to confess a secret to VJ at a party. Their choices are
small yet momentous. The hours are small but feel very, very long.
And when the night finally ends, the future is waiting - all of it.
terra A group of classmates is torn apart by the opportunity to
perform their own dance. As they disagree and bicker, two distinct
physical groups emerge and separate into opposing teams. When a
strange outsider appears - out of step with everyone else - the
divide is disrupted. A contemporary narrative dance piece about
individuality, community and heritage. Variations Thirteen-year-old
Alice wishes her life was completely different. She wakes up one
morning to find that her life is different. In fact, it's so
different that all she wants to do is get back to normality. But
how does she do that?
An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small
changes. Amid the dreaming, the dramas and the dirty dishes,
something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink?
Things aren't going to plan for one family in Withernsea,
Yorkshire. Pieces are falling off Martin's milk float as quickly as
he's losing customers and something's up with Kath's kitchen sink.
Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing
portrait of Dolly Parton, whilst Sophie's dreams of becoming a
ju-jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plughole. Tom
Wells' play The Kitchen Sink was first performed at the Bush
Theatre, London, in 2011. It won its author the George Devine Award
and the Most Promising Playwright Award at the Evening Standard
Theatre Awards. This volume also includes the monologue Spacewang,
in which a teenage girl roams the streets of Withernsea in search
of aliens.

Tom Wells's Stuff is a play about friendship and loss - and the way
people try to do the right thing for their mates when there isn't
really a right thing to do. Written specifically for young people,

Festival and was premiered by youth theatres across the UK. It

All 23 episodes from Season 2 of the series about Superman's early
life. In 'Vortex', Clark (Tom Welling) rescues Lana (Kristin Kreuk)
from the eye of a tornado, and then discovers that the storm has
powered up his spaceship and deposited it in an exposed position in
a cornfield. In 'Heat', Clark goes into hiding after discovering
his new power of heat vision, which can have some rather startling
effects. 'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's
spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret
to him. In 'Red', Clark is given his high school ring which is
supposedly set with ruby, but is actually red meteor rock. The rock
has an instant and dramatic effect on him, changing him into a
wayward rebel who overspends on the family credit card and picks
fights. In 'Nocturne', Lana finds a love poem left for her at her
parents' grave by Byron Moore (Sean Faris), an elusive boy with a
dark and dangerous secret. 'Lineage' sees a mysterious woman,
Rachel Dunlevy (Blair Brown) turning up in Smallville, claiming to
be Clark's biological mother. This prompts the Kents to finally
reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered
him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his
powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who
is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility
by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted
student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is
dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark
tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to
jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with
Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true
identity. 'Visage' sees the return of Whitney Fordman (Eric
Johnson), which disrupts the relationship betwen Clark and Lana -
until his odd behaviour prompts Clark to make a shocking discovery
about his true identity. In 'Suspect', Jonathan finds himself
framed for murder after being found in possession of a murder
weapon. But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and
discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence'
sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly
installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In
retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's
Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and
Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal',
Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and
brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel
out and unite against him. 'Fever' sees Martha (Annette O'Toole)
fall into a coma after breathing in meteor dust. It is then
revealed that she is pregnant with Clark's brother or sister.
'Rosetta' features a guest appearance from the original Superman
movie actor, Christopher Reeve, who plays Dr Virgil Swann, a
brilliant scientist who helps Clark to receive messages from his
home planet using the Native American symbols that Clark discovered
when he fell into the cave. In 'Visitor', a new student, Cyrus
Krupp (Jeremy Lelliot) reveals to Clark that he is an alien.
'Precipice' sees Clark jumping to Lana's defence when she is almost
assaulted by a college student. He injures the student, causing him
to question the virtue of his powers, and soon finds himself facing
a lawsuit that could cost the Kents their farm. In 'Witness', Clark
tries to intervene after inadvertently witnessing the theft of a
Luthercorp truck, but is dismayed to discover that the thieves are
as strong as he is. In 'Accelerate', Lana asks for Clark's advice
after being visited by the ghost of her childhood friend, Emily
(Jodelle Micah Ferlar). But Clark realises that the little girl is
in fact a kryptonite-enhanced clone who is out to get revenge on
Lana, and wants her to drown just as she, Emily, did several years
before. In 'Calling', Dr Frederick Walden (Rob LaBelle) wakes from
his coma to find himself in possession of incredible powers, and
sets off on a dangerous mission to kill Clark. In 'Exodus', Clark
makes an amazing discovery about his origins when the spaceship
announces that it is programmed with memories of his Kryptonian
father, Jor-El (Terence Stamp). It asks him to come at sunset to
return to his family and friends and fulfil his destiny. But can
Clark leave his life in Smallville behind? 'Redux' sees Clark
coming to the rescue when a mutant, Chrissy (Maggie Lawson), starts
killing young men by sucking their youth out of them to keep
herself young, leaving them aged and lifeless.

'My mam's always saying, the best thing to do with new things is

musical comedy by award-winning duo Tom Wells and Matthew Robins,
Drip was first seen as part of the Back to Ours programme for Hull

completely one hundred per cent reinvent ourselves. And I know
exactly how we can do that.' Megan, Holly and Ben are definitely
not the cool kids. But Megan has a plan. One long summer holiday to
change their lives. One sure path to coolness. One amazing
transformation, through the power of song. Holed up in Megan's
garden shed, three old friends try to change their fortunes in a
beautiful, heart-warming, laugh-out-loud coming-of-age story for
our times. Rock on. Tom Wells' play Broken Biscuits was first

how. Kayleigh is a teenager, unsure of herself. But when unexpected

The War Within: America's Battle over Vietnam is a painfully
engrossing and popularly written account of how the battle on the
home front ended America's least popular war. This absorbing
narrative, hailed by critics of every persuasion, is the fruit of
over a decade's worth of research: the author sifted through
mountains of government documents, press coverage, and transcripts
of interviews he conducted with virtually all of the key players,
both inside the U.S. government and among the dissenters who
eventually brought the war to an end. In these pages the antiwar
era comes to life through the words of scores of participants, both
the famous and the forgotten, who speak with candor and passion
about this tumultuous period. A remarkable story of a powerful
grassroots movement and its influence on officials in Washington.
A charmingly offbeat, surreal comedy of knitting, penguins and
Battenberg. Stitch is hitting the gay scene of Hull. Or at least
dipping his toe in the water, while staying with his heavily
pregnant sister Liz and her shabby sofa-loving partner Mark. But
why won't Stitch let anyone into the bathroom even though Liz is
dying for a pee? And who is the man in the giant penguin costume?
Tom Wells' play Me, As A Penguin premiered at the West Yorkshire
Playhouse in Leeds in 2009 as part of their new-writing season,
Northern Exposure. It subsequently went on a regional tour
including a run at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2010. This volume
also includes two monologues by Tom Wells, About a Goth and Notes
for First Time Astronauts.
