Cast: Jess Green

Performance poet Jess Green focuses her poetry on her own experiences of when she worked in schools as a reading champion. She has created a very fast paced performance, lasting just over an hour and delivers no less than ten unique poems accompanied by acoustic guitar and a Cajon drum. Green introduces us to Janine, a tired sixty-something who is fighting for her pension on the picket line, and Sandra the librarian who secretly removes ‘unsuitable’ books and takes them to the tip. There are many more characters in Green’s repertoire and all just as quirky and funny as the last.
