New Show: Poem Incarnating Theatre: Incisions and Excavations

 
 
This is a new show where I will be playing Jack the Ripper...

Incisions and Excavations has brought five poets, three directors, twelve performers, a visual artist and a composer to the operating table for the creation of an immersive and magical hour of site-specific theatre within one of London’s most atmospheric museums.

Their patient: poetry. We invite you to hold a stethoscope up to seven poems, exploring their beats and resonances as they emerge with new, theatrical forms born out of their connection with the Old Operating Theatre in London Bridge.

Grafted into the roof of St. Thomas’s church, this 19th Century women’s surgery played host to amputations and childbirth in its day, and provided medical students with a raked auditorium from which they could scrutinise the operating table at its heart. The hospital apothecary practised his scientific art in herb garret next-door, and it is through these two spaces that we hope to lead you on an evocation of life and love, death and delusion.

Occurrent Glow is a new company, set up to encounter the possibilities of poetry in play.

Performances: Friday 17th July (7pm), Saturday 18th July (5pm), Sunday 19th July (2pm, 5pm)
