‘The Tay Bridge Disaster’
Join Dundee's very own national bard,
William Topaz McGonagall, as he
performs dramatic readings of his most
ludicrously bad poetic gems.
Unintentionally hilarious! The Poet
McGonagall will also treat audiences to
personal reminiscences of his life and
exploits across Scotland, and even as far
as America! Jonathan Goodwin performs
this one-man production.
‘The Raven and other Gothic poems’
We invite you to spend the evening with
master of the gothic, Edgar Allan Poe!
He will perform dramatized readings of
his greatest and most famous poetic
works, including ‘The Raven’, as well
as other eerie verses from other masters
of the macabre Christina Rosetti, and
Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Jonathan
Goodwin plays Edgar Allan Poe in this
haunting production.
‘Nonsense Verse’
Silliness and absurdity are in the air as
Jonathan Goodwin portrays Edward Lear and
Lewis Carroll (though not at the same time)
in this one-man celebration of nonsense.
Expect ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’,
‘Jabberwocky’, ‘The Hunting of the Snark’,
‘The Mock Turtle's Song’, ‘The Dong with the
Luminous Nose’ and many more.
