Clinic@The Amersham Arms, New Cross

The ever intrepid Clinic are organising another one of their spectaculars at The Amersham Arms on Wednesday 26th May. A real mix of music and poetry, it's going to be a great night.

Scripted

And when you left the room,
did they reassemble for the dress-rehearsal,
rapt in the disingenuous glow
of a space heater? Did words bubble
to the surface of their tiny mouths
as if attributed to a celestial source?

Say you walked in unannounced,
caught a snippet of tomorrow’s scenes
and, there in the round,
witnessed the near silences,
the spaces between two voices:
a slow, persistent breathing
where your own lines were meant to be.

The Hold @ Oliver's Music Bar, Greenwich

I am very excited about this new event taking place in a basement in Greenwich and the atmosphere? Well, think Cabaret Voltaire in 1920 and turn it up a notch! I will be hosting and organising. Chuffed to have such a strong line up.

Event: The Hold @ Oliver’s Music Bar
Readers: Chrissy Williams, Sarah Westcott, Declan Ryan, Helen Mort, Jocelyn Page, Kayo Chingonyi, Jack Underwood
