Herrick Theatre Poetry and Prose Group

In 2000 six members of Herrick Theatre decided to form a poetry and prose group. The idea being that members would prepare readings on different subjects which could be presented in the city and the country to Women’s Institutes, church groups, fund raising groups, Mothers’ Unions etc. All we would need was a semi circle of friendly listeners and maybe a cup of tea and a chat after the performance! Sometimes we include a well known song oror chorus and invite the audience to join in.

We have been presenting these readings from time to time ever since then and now have a list of 14 titles which we are constantly revising and renewing. We particularly like to include poems by members and their friends and will introduce the poems with personal reminiscences a little like the ‘With great pleasure’ programme on Radio 4.
