I’ll be performing some event specific poetry for the Mayor of Camden in the Camden Town Hall Council Chambers, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality.
the theme of this event is to celebrate how far we have come and consider how much further we need to go.
In collaboration with the National Trust, I launched an exhibition exploring the lives, loves and legends that were the Smallhythe Trio – Edith Craig, Christopher St John, and Clare Atwood. The event – which ran from 10-11 June 2017 in Smallhythe Place, residence of Edith Craig’s mother, actress Ellen Terry, explored the trio’s unconventional lives and relationships, and compared and contrasted the experiences of women then and now.
My poems for the event included: The Smallhythe Trio and Three Ladies
I have also been invited to create a similar event for the National Trust next year
Barn Theatre at Smallhythe Place
