Charles Dickens' London is reimagined for the 21st century.Twenty-four hours in the life of a city that has 371 people in every square kilometer, where every street and square shelters heroes and villains, emotional turmoil, violent allegiances, adventures, the remarkable and the everyday.Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham forges a uniquely crowd-sourced play, incorporating scenes by emerging writers into his own sweeping narrative. Dickens' panoply of London and Londoners, his big characters and fantastic stories in Sketches by Boz are updated for the modern age, incorporating the broadest range of voices from across the community in a theatrical whirligig of wonder and imagination.

Anthropologist Naomi Westerman was studying death rituals around the world—when her whole family died. Upon losing those closest to her, Naomi Westerman saw that death was more than just an abstract academic concept; it was a deeply painful and personal experience. She became fascinated by loss and grief, and hoped to cope and demystify death by turning to history, art, and pop culture. Happy Death Club examines the many faces of death and grief in cultures around the world. From expensive coffins and uncon- ventional burials to horror films and true crime, what does our treatment of death have to tell us about how we live our lives? What makes a “good death”? And who owns our bodies before and after we die? Both meaningful and darkly humorous, this is a frank, curious look at a universal human experience—one we’re often too afraid to talk about—and at what lies beyond.
