It opens at Aberystwyth Arts Centre in March 2007, followed by a national tour.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313032933749,"sku":"9781840027266","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781840027266_4986f84e-cab4-4709-a8bc-d82bbfbdd935.jpg?v=1786028215"},{"product_id":"mainstream","title":"MAINSTREAM","description":"\u003cp\u003eMainstream brings thirty authors in from the margins to occupy centre-page.
