Three plays from the repertoire of iconic Newfoundland and Labrador playwright, actor, and member of the groundbreaking Newfoundland comedy troupe CODCO, Andy Jones. Based on Jones'' well-known epistolary radio series, An Evening with Uncle Val is a set of comic reportages from the perspective of a retired outport-dweller now living with his family in St. John''s. Uncle Val is sometimes bemused, sometimes outraged by modern life; he has charmed readers over the decades with his stalwart heart concealed in a curmudgeon''s exterior. Out of the Bin and King o'' Fun are zany, fragmented, occasionally philosophical, always hilarious renditions of contemporary life that demonstrate the versatility of one of Canada''s most talented and beloved theatremakers.

But Bob''s got bigger problems. He must face robot gorillas, an evil computer and giant patrol insects to save the world from a very farty future . . . ? Hold your noses for an adventure to the year 2049 and back!

The ability to remember lines or stay awake throughout a performance is appreciated, but not essential. The only mandatory is a terminal diagnosis. But Adam Campbell is less than enthusiastic about this eccentric form of group therapy. He has under one year to live, and a heck of lot to get done. Like explaining mortality to his six-year-old daughter. And making amends with the woman who should have been his wife. The last thing Adam needs is a part in an amateur production of ''Shakespeare''s Greatest Deaths''. But help and hope can be found where we least expect them. And perhaps camaraderie, and a shared purpose, will turn out to be the best medicine after all. As Shakespeare, didn''t quite put it: Shuffling off this mortal coil is a drag; but it''s no reason to stop living. The Cancer Ladies'' Running Club meets The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, The Last Act of Adam Campbell is a warm, poignant and wise tale about love, friendship, and making the most of every minute of life that we''re granted.

But despite the disappointments, heartaches and regrets, their friendship has endured. And now there is Faye, Mike''s new girlfriend - still in her twenties, carefree and uninhibited. She reminds the friends of their younger selves, of old loves and missed chances. Maybe Faye influenced what happened next? Why they did what they did. Whatever the reasons, one reckless night is about to change all of their lives for ever. Andy''s new novel, The Last Act of Adam Campbell is available in eBook now! ************** Praise for Andy Jones: ''What happens the morning after the night before, when the night before was when you did the most reckless thing of your life? I loved Andy Jones''s stylish portrayal of four people who make way too much history in one night, and just couldn''t put it down until I found out the fate of each of them'' Catherine Isaac ''I''m always wary about comparing books but, just this once, I''m going to make an exception because for me this is one of those few novels that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as One Day. It has everything you could want from a romcom and then some'' - Sun on The Trouble With Henry and Zoe

Henry a Zoe toho mají společného víc, než by je samotné napadlo. Třeba to, že každý z nich musel zúčtovat s minulostí a začít znovu, aby zjistili, co v životě doopravdy chtějí. Jeden z nich proto utekl do Londýna, druhý naopak z Londýna hodlá na hodně dlouho zmizet. A když se jejich životní dráhy v městě nad Temží protnou, zdá se, že si s nimi osud jen tak zahrává... Je nějaká naděje, že z rovnice HENRY + ZOE nakonec vyjde VELKÁ LÁSKA?

A heart-warming and funny novel about love and the choices we make. How bad choices can lead to good things, and how life is never what you expect it to be. Perfect for fans of One Day and Me Before You, from the author of The Two of Us. Henry and Zoe have more in common than they realise. For a start, they both have pasts they''d rather leave behind. After jilting his childhood sweetheart on the eve of their wedding, Henry makes a break for London. He has no friends, no job, no home, no plan. Zoe has great friends, two jobs, a new house, and a big scary plan. After a traumatic, life-changing event, she plans to leave London and spend a year travelling. Alone. If Henry and Zoe had met one year ago, things might have worked out differently. But that s not the way life works. They meet seven months after their worlds have been turned upside down. And four months before Zoe is due to climb on a plane... What readers said about Andy Jones''s first novel, the bestselling The Two of Us: ‘Frank, funny and bittersweet,The Two of Us is a love story about what happens when a relationship looks all wrong but feels all right.

An outstanding debut’Alba in Bookland ‘A damn fine book and has already barged its way into my top ten of the year so far and I don’t foresee it budging. Well done, Andy Jones’ Lisa Talks About… ‘A beautifully written story with a lot of emotions and adorable scenes’ Sky’s Book Corner ‘A lovely story, well written and tender, both heart-warming and heart-breaking. I haven’t read a book for a long time that made me feel happy and sad by the end’ Melanie Trevelyan, Goodreads

Perder la cabeza por amor es sencillo... la gran aventura empieza cuando compartes la pasta de dientes. Cuando Fisher conoce a Ivy, con su sonrisa, su sentido del humor y esa despreocupada manera de destilar feromonas, la chispa que salta entre ellos está a punto de incendiar medio Londres. Y durante dos semanas en las que ninguna razón les parece lo suficientemente buena como para salir de la cama, se alimentan de galletas y pan mohoso y se olvidan de que en el mundo exterior existen jefes, hipotecas y multas de aparcamiento. Fisher apenas se atreve a creerlo pero tras ese frenesí inicial lo que siente puede estar convirtiéndose en algo muy parecido al amor. El hecho de que apenas sepan nada el uno del otro es un simple detalle sin importancia. Lo que no puede imaginarse es que su primera noche juntos ya ha decidido el resto de sus vidas. Si no la fastidia. Un libro para los que creen en el amor... a pesar de todo. La opinión de la crítica: «Un libro magníficamente escrito y maravillosamente cautivador sobre enamorarse y seguir enamorado, sobre sorpresas, expectativas, ajustes, compromisos y sobre cómo manejar todo lo anterior sin perder la cabeza... Me encantó.» Daily Mail «Una fascinante historia de amor actual..., encantadora y divertida; lo recomendamos encarecidamente.» Library Journal «¿Quién de nosotros no ha sido joven y ha estado locamente enamorado? Los fans de la comedia romántica británica disfrutarán viendo cómo Fisher intenta resolver la situación.» Booklist «Todavía me asombra cuando encuentro a un escritor con el don de la palabra que puede hacer que un personaje me importe tanto como para ponerme a llorar en un momento y echarme a reír un minuto después. Jones consigue exactamente eso.» The Sun

"Originally published in 2015 in Great Britain by Simon & Schuster UK Ltd."--Title page verso.

Sich verlieben ist noch das Leichteste – was danach kommt zählt. Als er Ivy begegnet, ist Fisher wie vom Blitz getroffen, und bald ist er sich sicher, dass aus der Sache etwas werden könnte. Noch weiß keiner der beiden, dass die Entscheidung über ihre Zukunft längst gefallen ist: Ivy ist schwanger. Doch während das neue Leben in Ivy heranwächst, muss sich Fisher um seinen schwer erkrankten Freund El kümmern. Und Ivy und Fisher sind immer noch damit beschäftigt, sich kennenzulernen. Denn es ist eine Sache, sich zu verlieben – miteinander zu leben ist eine ganz andere Geschichte ... Ein einmalig ehrlicher, herzzerreißender Roman über die Liebe und das Leben und darüber, dass man keines von beiden als gegeben nehmen sollte. "Ich liebe dich, Ivy. Ich finde dich klug und witzig und schön ... Doch bist du die Richtige? Oder bist du nur noch hier, weil du schwanger bist? Ich hoffe, dass alles gut ausgeht, aber die Wahrheit ist: Ich weiß es nicht." “Ein wunderschön erzähltes, absolut bezauberndes Buch über das Sich-Verlieben und Lieben und die Kompromisse, die zur Liebe dazugehören.“ Daily Mail.

The second in an ongoing series of Jack stories, featuring retellings and adaptations by Andy Jones, and illustrations by Darka Erdelji. The first, The Queen of Paradise''s Garden, was published by Running the Goat in 2009. This story was partly inspired by Jonathan Goldstein''s retellings of Bible stories, and by Mary Walsh and Cathy Jones''s "Deb and Sheila" sketch. The narrative voice was inspired by the oral traditions of Newfoundland and Labrador, and uses the energy of the dialect and verbal traditions to capture the cadence of the language. The author has created a voice that is more musical than it is grammatical.
