Luckily, last night I made it to the Couplets Reading Series (#8) and had the pleasure of hearing Tom Cull read poetry and converse with the very interesting indigenous gentleman Erik Mandawe who spoke at length and drummed and sang in his "spirit voice". Beautiful and mind-expanding. Tom and Erik's collaboration is a long-term thing, so I'm going to suggest to the future organizers of London Open Mic Poetry that they feature them together at some point in future. I suggested it to Tom and he was all for it. If you listen to Erik narrating and singing in this video, you'll get some idea why I'm so enthusiastic. About Tom Cull & Erik Mandawe and the Couplets Reading Series The Taming of the Shrew Presented by Funeral Pyre Theatre in association with Squirrel Suit Productions April 26 to May 6, 2017 McManus Stage Director: Liam Grunté Stage Manager Julia McCarthy Producers Liam Grunté and Carlyn Rhamey Starring Kevin Heslop and Ashley Fage Also featuring Neva Gunther, Tristan Watts, Irene Paibulsirijit, Andrea Avila, Mya Matos, Gareth Ross, Holly Holden, Lyndsey Burns, Olivia Little and Kendall Robertson “The Taming of the Shrew” is renowned as Shakespeare's most controversial play. It is a tale of mistaken identity, deception and complicated love triangles. The plot thickens as suitors of the fair Bianca convince a visiting stranger to marry her older sister Katherina in order to allow Bianca to be eligible to be wed. However, Katherina is not a willing participant in their plans. Reversing the roles in this production brings a fresh perspective to an old yarn, allowing the audience to experience the story from alternative points of view. FP Theatre is proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds from this production are being donated in support of the London Abused Women's Centre #ShinetheLight on Women's Abuse campaign. Recommended for ages 14+ (We're posting them as they come in, but only if they're written in the compact style of the entries below.)
I'm making a list of National Poetry Month events in the London area (out as far as Sarnia and Stratford). Yes, it's starting today. If you have something you would like on it, send it to me ASAP at burfield@live.com
