Rhyme and Reason | A Dramatic Celebration of Sussex Poetry

“The great hills of the South Country, They stand along the sea;
And it's there walking in the high woods, That I could wish to be…”
To mark this year's National Poetry Day, embark on a trip through time as we meet some of the county's most acclaimed wordsmiths!
Hilaire Belloc, illustrious poet (and wine-enthusiast!), is your host for the evening as he introduces us to three other writers to celebrate some of Sussex's best-loved poems and the stories behind them. Expect tales of wartime, cruel crime and just a little bit of rhyme, celebrating the joy of life and literature as we take an informative and entertaining trip through dramatic stories and verse.
Each performance is for a small group of 30 in the historic setting of the Marlipins Museum with a cast of four talented actors.
Produced as part of Shoreham WordFest in association with Marlipins Museum.
