Green Fayre at the Workhouse

We are very excited and proud to announce that the concrete poet going by the name of Childe Roland will be performing on Saturday evening in our Performance Courtyard. He will be joined by musicians and a projection show.

We can’t think of a better way to give you an idea of what to expect than using the words of the wonderful guys at TheAbsurd.co.uk:

‘There is no sense of elitism, literary snobbery or arrogance (although he would be well within his rights to have that attitude); instead there is a feeling that you are with a man who cherishes life, who looks upon each day with wonder and at each person he meets with gleeful merriment. Once he’d taken to the stage Childe’s The Fair poem was received with roaring applause, and the end of the reading of The Verb to Be was met with raucous cheers and the demand for an encore – to which he happily obliged. This was not an audience of the literary establishment; this was a party attended by over a hundred people who were absolutely determined to have a good time. Childe’s performance was animated, dynamic and vibrant; he stole the show.’
