The Audience - Poetry and Music/Music and Poetry

Award-winning actor Henry Goodman in conversation with broadcaster and writer Paul Allen

There will be live musical interludes from Ensemble 360, who together with Henry will perform Wendy Cope’s witty collection of poems that gently poke fun at audiences, set to music by Roxanna Panufnik.
