The story Charles Dickens might have written after drinking too much gin... Follow half-orphan Pip Bin's remarkable adventures with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit, as they attempt to escape the scheming clutches of Mr Gently Benevolent and defeat the irrepressible Hardthrasher siblings. Can they avert disaster at every turn? Will evil be vanquished by virtue? Can love triumph over hate? Mark Evans' play Bleak Expectations is a hilarious, chaotic caper, featuring dastardly villains, preposterous names, pulse-quickening romances, heart-rending death scenes, and, of course, a happy ending. Based on the award-winning BBC Radio 4 series, the play opened at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2022, directed by Caroline Leslie. It offers rich opportunities to amateur theatre companies looking for a gloriously daft Dickensian romp which will have their audiences joyfully transported and begging for more.

The future of democracy, the authors demonstrate, will be about findings ways of melding ‘old’ and ‘new’ power practices. Offering a broad and accessible survey of what different forms of democracy and democratic innovations look like today, and how they can develop in future, Saving Democracy shows us the potential for transformation across the entire democratic process. Avoiding a reductive focus on simply getting citizens more involved in decision-making, this book uniquely argues for the importance of refining and monitoring how democratic decisions are made and followed through.

Dr. Mark Evans is a composer, conductor, pianist, and organist, writer, and lyricist, with a multifaceted background in music, books, and broadcasting. In Playboy at the Piano, he combines profiles and reflections regarding the markable people he has encountered as teachers, mentors, colleagues, friends, and guests on his popular radio and television program, Mark My Words. His unlikely description as a playboy was provided by a strict British concert pianist and teacher who disapproved of his forays into the worlds of jazz, musical theater, and film scores. Included here is a treasure trove of anecdotes and dialogues with many of the world's most accomplished musicians, writers, artists, actors, and educators, combined with personal reminiscences about their impact on the author's life and career. In an era which often values celebrity over achievements, Playboy at the Piano focuses upon true achievers whose accomplishments should be of interest to people of all ages. "I can't choose one who most impressed me," says the author. "There are piano and violin virtuosos, great composers, brilliant writers, hilarious humorists, unforgettable actors, incredible artists and animators, and even a few gourmet chefs and a matador. But after you've worked with Donald Duck, it's all downhill from there." Part memoir, part anthology, Playboy at the Piano is filled with stories that reflect laughter, tears, amazement, courage, and inspiration from a raconteur who appreciates the extraordinary men and women who have wandered in and out of his life.
