Lemn Sissay shows us 'Something Dark'

Coming to a theatre or club near you over the next few months is Lemn Sissay’s new one man stage show Something Dark. According to Apples & Snakes, this is 'Lemn’s masterpiece. One man, one stage, one hell of a story – all shot through with a powerful sense of lyricism.'

Something Dark will be running at the Battersea Arts Centre from 21 Feb to 12 March. If you can't wait until then and you happen to be in Malta at the moment - which, admittedly, is a long shot - it's on in Valletta tonight (Saturday, 14th January) at the St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, starting at 8pm. Alternatively, you could catch it back in the UK next Friday, 20th January, at the earlier time of 7.30 pm, when Lemn Sissay will be performing his new show at the Uppingham Theatre, Rutland (near Leicester).

Something Dark will be on tour around the country for the next month or so, so do try to see it when it swings round your way or make the trip into London to see it when it's showing at the BAC. Further details of venues and dates can be found on the Apple and Snakes website, which can be found opposite this post under Links. And if you'd like to know more about the poet and performer Lemn Sissay himself, his personal website is also listed there.
