The Writers
On Skype, we'll be hearing from the master
of irony himself, Canadian spoken word artist Jeff Cottrill, and Texas jam poet
Thom the World Poet. We'll also be stopping by two writers in South Africa, Liesl
Jobson and Tanya Chan-Sam, who'll be reading her story 'How God Blessed
Africa', and Miwa Kurihara on the tsunami in Japan. Plus one international
mystery guest to be announced! Spain, India, Singapore...the bets are on! (But
at the moment it's very much looking like it's going to be Spain.)
In Sheffield, Rob Hindle will be reading
from a new poem-drama about the last weeks in the life of Federico Garcia
Lorca, Chella Quint will be putting in an epistolary performance of 'It's Not
You, I Just Need Space' (interplanetary letters of love and rejection), Gaby
Bila-Günther will be stopping by from Berlin, and there'll be Kenneth Penfold's
radio drama 'Closure' and poetry from Liz Cashdan and Word Life's Joe Kriss.
Sent/Received is a new SMS ghost script by Andy
Cattanach, in which text messaging turns out to be the only means of
communicating between slipped time streams. Starring Rachael Pennell and
Jonathan Greaves, directed by Andrea Milde.
Hosted by Robin Vaughan-Williams and Sarah
Thomasin.
