The Poetry of Strangers

(RENT Poet – Brian Sonia-Wallace)
The Speakeasy at The Royal Scots Club (The Speakeasy)
4–10 Aug 14.15, 21.30 (depending)
Spoken Word

For ten years, poet Brian Sonia-Wallace has been interviewing strangers to write them poems on a typewriter about their lives. In this one-hour, one-man show, he asks: what is your dream? and combines clowning with sacred reading practices to find out. It's a dialogue with the audience through poetry about dreams and desires: the ones you've found, shared, abandoned and rediscovered. Each show creates a new poem, the subject of that poem: you.
