There is a profound resonance when a piece of art transcends its original language, moving across borders not just of geography, but of soul.

Today, we are witnessing this powerful moment with the English edition release of the theatrical work, Men. This isn't just a translation; it is an invitation. An invitation to look closer, to listen harder, and to feel the sometimes-uncomfortable reality that the playwright, Stefano Labbia, places so deftly right before us.

The Bewitching by Jill Dawson
Jill Dawson’s The Bewitching is a haunting and atmospheric novel that reimagines a real-life 16th-century witch trial through a contemporary lens. Set in the small village of St. Osyth in Essex, the novel blends historical fiction with psychological insight, exploring themes of female agency, social power, mass hysteria, and the fragility of truth in a world governed by fear. Dawson, known for her keen interest in women’s stories and historical re-imaginings, crafts a story that is as unsettling as it is thought-provoking.
