Delivery times  

Standard 

We ship out our items using Royal Mail Standard Delivery. We aim to ship your item within two working days. You will receive email confirmation once your order has shipped.  

Our standard delivery times vary slightly according to the delivery destination. For items which we have in stock at the shop, we aim to deliver within: 

UK – 2–5 working days 

Europe – 5–7 working days 

Rest of the world – 10–14 working days 

Please note, if your order contains print-on-demand prints, certain clothing items or specialist books, these will be dispatched separately to the rest of your order. This means that you will receive your order in multiple deliveries and not all items at once. Where this is the case, our team will be in contact with you to update you on when certain items have shipped. If in doubt, please contact us to check the status of your order. 

Print on demand 

We are delighted to be able to offer customisable print-on-demand items in collaboration with King and McGaw. Each print is made by hand in the UK, which does mean these take a little longer to prepare.  

King and McGaw will dispatch your custom print directly to you from their studio in Sussex. It can take up to four weeks for prints to be created and sent. You will receive a shipping notification via email, when your print has been dispatched.  

If you have ordered other items, which are not printed on demand, these will be shipped separately by our team at the bookshop and standard delivery times apply.

Details

by Lucy Prebble

Lucy Prebble is one of Britain's foremost writers for the stage and screen. This eagerly anticipated play collection brings together her landmark plays for the first time, showcasing her work from 2003 to 2019. Beginning with her George Devine Award-winning play The Sugar Syndrome it continues through her explosive look at the biggest financial scandal in history, concluding with her pointed dramatization of the one of the most shocking news stories of the 2010s.

The Sugar Syndrome (2003) 
Dani is on a mission. She's just 17, hates her parents, skives college and prefers life in the chatrooms. What she's looking for is someone honest and direct. Instead she finds Tim, a man twice her age, who thinks she is 11 and a boy. What seems at first to be a case of crossed wires, ends up as an unlikely, and unsettling friendship between the two, which culminates in a shocking, and morally challenging revelation.

Enron (2009) One of the most infamous scandals in financial history became a theatrical epic in Enron, a dazzling exposition of the shadowy mechanisms of economic deceit. Mixing classical tragedy with savage comedy and surreal metaphor, Enron follows a group of flawed men and women in a narrative of greed and loss which reviews the tumultuous 1990s, and the financial chaos which has spilled over into the new century.

The Effect (2012) a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved.

A Very Expensive Poison (2019) A shocking assassination in the heart of London. In a bizarre mix of high-stakes global politics and radioactive villainy, a man pays with his life. At this time of global crises and a looming new Cold War, A Very Expensive Poison sends us careering through the shadowy world of international espionage from Moscow to Mayfair.
