From Tony Award-winning playwright Tom Stoppard, Indian Ink is a rich and moving portrait of intimate lives set against one of the great shafts of history—the emergence of the Indian subcontinent from the grip of Europe. The play follows free-spirited English poet Flora Crewe on her travels through India in the 1930s, where her intricate relationship with an Indian artist unfurls against the backdrop of a country seeking its independence. Fifty years later, in 1980s England, her younger sister Eleanor attempts to preserve the legacy of Flora’s controversial career, while Flora’s would-be biographer is following a cold trail in India. Fresh from the critically acclaimed off-Broadway performance in 2014, Indian Ink is reemerging as an important part of Stoppard’s oeuvre and the global dramatic canon, a fascinating, time-hopping masterwork.

Love in the Late Edition is a story about a man who retires with his wife to an idyllic retirement community in California but is very soon left tragically alone. Alistair Brown is originally from Australia but has spent decades working in America, once as the editor of the local newspaper nearby, which is why he and his wife have come back to beautiful Carmelito to retire. Now, suddenly blindsided by fate, Alistair knows he must somehow find a new purpose in his life, which at first he struggles to do, often comically. Written in the style of an autobiography, Alistair's story is both funny and sad. It is full of compelling characters and memorable incidents in a world unto itself with its own attitudes and customs, a world that becomes threatened and in need of saving. Alistair, who finds fulfilment by using his old journalistic talents as editor of the community's newsletter, is able to help sound the alarm. Then something else surprising and good happens, when he least expects it. Love in the Late Edition is part love story, part homage to the newspaper business, part ode to friendship. But, most of all, it is an affirmation that while there is life there is hope, and that even in the evening of our lives we can find happiness with a fresh reason for living.

Reg Dodd grew up at Finniss Springs, on striking desert country bordering South Australia's Lake Eyre. For the Arabunna and for many other Aboriginal people, Finniss Springs has been a homeland and a refuge. It has also been a cattle station, an Aboriginal mission, a battlefield, a place of learning, and a living museum. With his long-time friend and filmmaker Malcolm McKinnon, Dodd reflects on his upbringing in a cross-cultural environment that defied social conventions of the time. They also write candidly about the tensions surrounding power, authority, and Indigenous knowledge that have defined the recent decades of this resource-rich area. Talking Sideways is part history, part memoir, and part cultural road-map. Together, Dodd and McKinnon reveal the unique history of this extraordinary place and share their concerns and their hopes for its future.
