Benjamin Lay – shepherd, sailor, revolutionary, and the British Empire's first revolutionary abolitionist – returns from the grave almost 300 years after his death, as feisty and unpredictable as ever. The 4ft "David" confronts the "Goliath" of slavery as he demands once again to be to be readmitted into the Quaker community that disowned him for ideas considered dangerous and disruptive. Sweeping across the centuries and continents, The Return of Benjamin Lay is a hallucinatory exploration of the list of a radical who became one of the earliest revolutionary abolitionists.

Le Guin, Sur follows a 1909 expedition to the South Pole by a group of women driven by a passion to see Antarctica with their own eyes. The women travel in secret – theirs is a radical plan, considering the constraints placed by society and family. They travel by ship, set up camp on the ice, pull sledges, scale glaciers, and set out to reach the South Pole. What happens next, they promise never to tell. The story is presented as a report, a factual recounting of a journey. Could it have really happened? And if not, then why?
