60 minutes•Alba Theatre
Sky-Scraping is The Wistful Company’s new innovative way of making poetry accessible. As the narrator (Jack) discovers poetry’s power to transform the city he calls home, the audience will watch the skyline transform across the ages. We cannot wait to share poems from over 700 years ago! We have reworked old classics into engaging, absurd and light-hearted tributes to authors that were seen as rude, progressive and funny within their time. Our show is a curated piece of performance art! A new coming of age story through poetry!
