Anyone who knows me, knows one of my passions is poetry. So I am delighted that today (23/07/22) on #JtoZ, I present a whole show on the beat classic by #JackKerouac ‘On the Road’ & explore the impact #jazz had on his writing. Tune in from 5pm @BBCRadio3! https://t.co/1OXFYjdpE9

In theatre, the ghost light is used whenever the theatre is empty.
A sign of the drive, commitment & creativity of artists, theatre-makers, technicians & staff...even in dark times.
So while we are closed for now, our ghost light is shining as a reminder that we will return.
