Ideal for schools, youth theatres and amateur companies to perform, these versatile and incisive plays demonstrate an innovative playwright at the top of his craft.   In Comment Is Free, a journalist forms the centre of a devastating media storm. After being staged by Old Vic New Voices in 2015, the version published here was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2016, winning both the Tinniswood and Imison Awards for Audio Drama.   Start Swimming is a play about occupation, revolution and what the future holds for today’s youth. One step away from disaster, there’s only one thing left to do: start swimming. First staged by the Young Vic Taking Part department, Start Swimming was also performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308582941045,"sku":"9781848427075","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781848427075_61ab17af-8201-4e14-a253-f347bd34f96a.jpg?v=1786029456"},{"product_id":"on-being-unmoved","title":"On Being Unmoved","description":"On Being Unmoved offers a novel, systematic look at the relationship between our emotional lives and the world. It builds on a body of existing philosophical work on fitting emotions: work that seeks to identify conditions under which object-directed emotions-like anger, shame, and joy-are well-suited to their objects.James Fritz expands on this existing work to tell a more complete story. He does so by considering not onlyemotion, but also emotional neutrality. This neutrality is a pervasive element of human emotional life: for instance, when you look at the day's news, some headlines may evoke strong feelings, but many others will evoke no emotional response at all. A theory of a fitting emotional life should have something to say about the occasions when emotion goes missing. Fritz shows that the appraisal of emotion in terms of fit can, and should, take place alongside the appraisal of emotional neutrality in terms of fit. On Being Unmoved presents a powerful, unified, and sometimes surprising model of the relationship between our emotional lives and the values that surrounds us.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57593919439221,"sku":"9780197873595","price":68.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-james-fritz.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
