In the wings
A SHOEMAKER’S son, impoverished for most of his life, the poet Patrick Kavanagh was the epitome of the starving, brilliant artist.

IT’S not too late to catch the excellent Camden Fringe festival, overflowing from select Camden Town theatre pubs with all manner of humour and dramatic embellishment.
Two of the most promising shows, and a sterling example of the festival’s diversity, are Parkway’s own Solas Theatre Company’s production of The Maids, by French playwright Jean Genet, and Nasty Sweet’s The Terrible Train of Tarot Terror, which really needs no explanation.
Both pieces, whether you fancy challenging Continental theatre or tongue-in-cheek horror, are on at the Etcetera Theatre this week.
BLUEBEARD, the tale of the villainous knight who killed six of his seven wives, has a modern overhaul at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in Gaisford Street.
A middle-aged man accused of strangling a call girl and his sixth wife has already been acquitted by the courts, but now he must face a second, private trial.
Adapted and directed by Victor Sobchak, Bluebeard runs until September 2. |
