Verses (we’ve forgotten, by) Voices (you’ll remember)

The best poetry is original yet accessible; it stirs the mind or moves the emotions. The 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s were arguably the greatest eras for poetry in the UK. But many writers are now forgotten - producing a wide range of pocket masterpieces, some arising from the upheavals of those decades, others apparently untouched by them.

Verses Voices attempts to reclaim this Golden Age of poetry for all, with a still-greater ambition: to reclaim poetry as the property not of hushed and ponderous received-pronunciation, but of the regional voices that have always been the backbone of our nation - voices that can animate and communicate these poems to the full.

This is a poetry performance unlike any other.

Performers: Ann Gibbon, Eddie Lawler, Shirley Field, Sue Grogan, Suzie Millar, with Rob Tyson and Felix Hodcroft (director).
