Synopsis:From a remote weaver's cottage in the bleak Yorkshire moors, a gang of counterfeiters (the 'Cragg Vale Coiners') launch a nefarious scheme that threatens to unsettle the currency of 18th century England.Bound in marriage to their leader, known locally as 'King' David, Grace Hartley is torn between the forces of love, duty and conscience, whilst at the same time struggling with motherhood and the need to keep hunger at bay.After the counterfeiters' initial success, opposing forces gather, led by William Dighton, Supervisor of Excises, who sets in motion a series of events that have momentous consequences.This play is based on a true story that has gripped the inhabitants of the Upper Calder Valley for centuries, but has so far received little prominence elsewhere. The Calder Valley is known to many as the setting for the hit television series Happy Valley.A unique feature of this play is that it presents the historic and tumultuous events of this episode in history from a woman's point of view. Very little is known about the real Grace Hartley or the other women in this story. In the male-dominated world of the late eighteenth century, documentation focuses almost exclusively on the role played by men. Part of the purpose of this play is to redress this imbalance.Casting: 10 M, 6 F with opportunities for doubling.'A gripping story of love, betrayal and survival.''Based on true events.'

This short collection of verse and prose encapsulates the myths and legends surrounding the mysterious figure of Sidora, wayward spirit of canals and navigations and goddess of inland waterways. The Ballad of Chevron and Sidora recounts the joys and agony of the young Sidora, daughter of Sautun and Chalyra, supreme rulers of fresh waters, and her lover, Chevron, crown prince of underwater life, whereas Uremariak attributes Sidora's origins to the entrapment and rescue of restless sylph Claryph in the waters of the mighty Duwanin. Although the origins of Sidora are complex and shrouded in mystery and much of the mythology has surely been lost, the calm waters of the ballad and the narrow carahtals of the legend can be found today in the canals and locks of the inland waterways of Great Britain. In order to place the esoteric narrative in a real-life context, a brief factual history of the inland waterways is therefore included in the appendix.

This is a traditional children's family pantomime - with a twist. Poor boy meets rich girl and they fall in love. Boy becomes rich, loses his riches - and the girl. Then all ends happily in the end!

Roy Byrom's highly entertaining version of this family classic was first performed at Leeds City Varieties and subsequently enjoyed a successful run at the Halifax Playhouse in 2019. This acting edition contains the complete script and full stage directions and is typeset in a practical and easy-to-read format. CASTING: Large, flexible cast

This Teacher's Book is the companion to Academic Presenting and Presentations (ISBN 978-1-911369-24-0), a training course designed to help students cultivate academic presentation skills and deal with the various presentation tasks they may be required to fulfil during the course of their university studies. In addition to providing valuable notes on each unit, the Teacher's Book contains key information on the underlying principles, concept and structure of the course and sets out the rationale behind its design. Teachers, and through them their students, can benefit from the depth of the insights presented here, making the classroom experience a rewarding and enjoyable one. Academic presentations can be particularly challenging for non-native English speakers and consequently, the print material and the accompanying video recordings dovetail neatly to provide linguistic support and guidance as well as enhancing presentation skills and providing a forum for practice, feedback and ongoing improvement.

Academic Presenting and Presentations is a new university-level training course suitable for all students who have to give presentations during their studies or in their later careers. The course is designed for a global audience and can be used in a wide range of contexts. The instructional and practice material included not only helps students to develop their presentation skills but also provides insights into key topics of interest such as research methods and the dangers of plagiarism. In addition to covering specific aspects of English as the language of presentation in an international environment, this learning program emphasises higher level task achievement, since experience shows that this is the area most students find especially difficult. Each unit of the course focuses on a different presentation genre, building students' awareness of how to present effectively whilst at the same time focusing attention on the specific requirements of addressing an audience in an academic context.
