“A Noise Annoys” is a poetry show for all the senses! It features rhymes, noises, songs, surprises and lots of audience interaction. Bursting with joyful humour and witty wordplay, Jude takes the audience on a mind-bending journey through the sounds of language and the language of sounds. There’s lots of joy, a healthy dose of nonsense, and a few heartfelt moments of beautiful hush.
“Jude Simpson is funny, sharp, emotional in her work and is a terrific performer” – Michael Rosen
Using poems, puns, tongue-twisters, quirky props and a trusty guitar, Jude finds the joy and annoyance in the things we hear. She asks: Is it a noise that’s annoying, or the person making it? Do pingers ever ding? If you had a pet badger, what would you call it?
This show will engage all ages with the spoken and written word, and leave them full of joy at the possibilities of language.
