The performers…..

Man about town and woman on special occasions, Lyman Gamberton started writing poetry shortly after escaping from the life-pod in which they were engineered. They like sestinas and jokes at the expense of violists. Their poetry will be found online at http://lymanwrites.wordpress.com.

Alice Nuttall is a tea-swilling, lindy-hopping, perpetual student who lives in an attic in Oxford. She has been writing since she could hold a pen, and currently divides her time between working on her novel, finishing her thesis, and unjamming photocopiers. Alice will be reading extracts from her new novel, Sigyn.

 

Lucy Ayrton, our resident compere, will also be headlining the evening. Lucy’s first solo show, Lullabies to Make Your Children Cry, won Best Newcomer on the PBH Spoken Word Free Fringe. She is working on a new show called The Splitting of the Mermaid.
