No other classic text has left such a mark on how we tell stories, create theatre, and structure film. But what does it actually say?

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.

Friends, can you think of an edited collection with an effective, snappy epilogue/afterword written by the editor (as opposed to written by an extra contributor)? I'm after some stellar examples, ideally #theatresky or #classicssky. Ta!

Made the excuse that I was just going to the toilet and would be right back during the kids’ bedtime to try and give them a chance to fall asleep by themselves. Took myself to the couch to scroll socials only to be sprung by the 4yo who asked why I lied 😟
