If Music be the Food of Love

As well as passages from Shakespeare's works (including Twelfth Night and Midsummer Night's Dream), I quote from the poetry of the likes of Blake, Keats, Morris and Yeats, and read passages of prose by Thomas Hardy and Jane Austen. My performance often includes a song or two, and self-penned works may be featured. I can tailor my presentation to suit audiences large and small, but to retain the intimacy of the performance and avoid the use of amplification, which I feel isn't in keeping with the material, numbers not exceeding 30 or so are best. Past performances have been for The University of the Third Age, Taunton Retired Teachers Group and The Frank Bond Centre. In 2008 I have been booked to play for Bishops Hull WI.
