An evening of performance poetry at Square Chapel, Halifax on Saturday 8 December:
Poetry on the Nose
"Classy stuff, unfailingly elegant, blazingly powerful" The Scotsman
“The collaboration between Roy Hutchins and Heathcote Williams is special. Long may it last… see this show” British Theatre Guide
Join performer Roy Hutchins for ‘Poetry on the Nose’, an evening of the work of Heathcote Williams followed by a showcase for local guest poets.
Winner of a coveted Herald Archangel Award ‘Poetry on the Nose’ is a series of short, powerful pieces by iconic counter-cultural writer Heathcote Williams performed by Roy Hutchins.
Heathcote Williams is probably most famous for his epic poems ‘Autogeddon’ and ‘Sacred Elephant’ about environmental issues, and the celebrated work ‘Whale Nation’ his call for a worldwide ban on whaling. As Williams is Co-Director of ‘Poetry on the Nose’ fans of his work can be sure that Hutchins delivers every word as the author intended.
Roy Hutchins is a versatile comic, actor, director and writer. He has twice been nominated for a Perrier award and was the first comedian to have a solo run at The Comedy Store. His gift for humour ensures that this show has plenty of laughs as well as layer upon layer of Williams’ searing intellect. If ever there was a show that demonstrates the velvet glove covering the iron fist - this is it.
After the interval there will be an open mic event compered by Roy, which will showcase the work of some local guest poets. If you are interested in performing contact Ben Rothera on 01422 353073 or email ben@squarechapel.co.uk.
