Hi all,
April brings the next 451 to Southampton bringing electric poetic-storyteller Rachel Rose Reid and quiet word-storm Kayo Chingonyi to the Nuffield Theatre stage on Monday 16th. There’ll aslso be the usual open mic to sign up for from 7pm.
I’m only just recovering from March’s Alphapoetica outing at the City Gallery in which Matt West, Ben Lawrence, Angela Chicken and Sean Douglas performed their work to a rapt audience with Ricardo Serrano providing musical accompaniment.
There’s also news of a new show afoot (if that’s the right phrase). Apples and Snakes South East’s new 2012 series will start at the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate, Kent on Friday 25 May. If you’re missing Tongue Tide, be prepared to re-experience the best in performance poetry and more at Big Talk in the second smallest theatre in the UK! More details next issue (and they’ll be worth waiting for!)
Take care everyone!
