A stage adaptation of Katherine Boo's National Book Award-winning study of life in a Mumbai slum India is surging with global ambition. But beyond the luxury hotels surrounding Mumbai airport lies a makeshift slum, Annawadi, full of people with plans of their own. Zehrunisa and her son Abdul aim to recycle enough rubbish to fund a proper house. Sunil, twelve and stunted, wants to eat until he's as tall as Kalu the thief. Asha seeks to steal government antipoverty funds to turn herself into a "first-class person," while her daughter Manju intends to become the slum's first female graduate. But their schemes are fragile; global recession threatens the garbage trade, and another slum dweller is about to make an accusation that will destroy herself and shatter the neighborhood. For Behind the Beautiful Forevers, journalist Katherine Boo spent three years in Annawadi recording the lives of its residents. From her uncompromising book, David Hare has fashioned a tumultuous play on an epic scale.

He's perfect for her, where there's more than just dirt under my fingernails. When Jules needs to get married in order to gain her inheritance and rebuild the bakery of her dreams, Prince Charming balks insisting it's too early in his five year plan for rings.

But once I have my ring on her finger, I have no plan to let her go. I just need to prove to her that this beast can love her better than a prince. The Oath Operation is a sizzling, sweet romance with no steam. The damsels agree to a marriage of convenience, but the heroes have no intentions of letting them out of the agreement—ever.

Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener… I found the perfect guy. His name is Brett. He’s smart, funny, charming, very good looking, and a great kisser. He gets me. And I get him. Oh, did I mention that he’s my ex? And did I mention that I just dumped him for a total dud? Yeah, not what I expected…at all. However, I’m fully prepared to eat crow if it means getting Brett back. But there’s one problem…Brett recently got hired at my workplace, and my boss has a strict policy against inter-office dating. So, getting back together? Not happening. I worked hard for my job and I’m not about to lose it—not even for love. I can totally work alongside Brett and ignore my feelings. No problem. But when we’re asked to narrate a steamy romance novel together in a tight, cramped audio booth, I can’t take it any longer. I have to have him back. With everything I’ve worked for on the line, I’m forced to ask myself—is love worth the risk?
