If you’re into your poetry, you’re definitely going to be into this. The Sydney Poets Co-operative presents a one night only event full of poetry and music at the El Rocco Bar in Kings Cross.
The night features some of Australia’s most exciting creative talent such as playwright and poet Charles Freyberg, Peter Hayes, and lyricist and writer Alison Marshall. The night will also embrace a performance of Shakespeare’s sonnets with the inclusion of music by composer Peter Urquhart.
Urquhart says the co-operative normally comes together to perform poetry, short plays and music to celebrate their new creations, with the night was inspired through the groups’ love of poetry and live performance.
“The inspiration for this evening came about by our keen interest in collaborative partnerships as well as our interest in keeping live poetry performance alive in Sydney. We are all close colleagues and enjoy performing our newly created works,” said Urquhart. (AMal)
