Hugh Lupton on Common Ground
An evening of stories, songs and music exploring the life and times of JOHN CLARE is promised at St Mary’s Church at Wycliffe.
Clare’s story is told within the context of the Enclosures Act which disenfranchised the poor and began the shift of the working class from the countryside to the factories of the Industrial Revolution. In this programme of story, music, poetry and song Chris Wood and Hugh Lupton put their ears to the ground and tell the story of poet John Clare. It is a performance that explores the porous boundaries between language and place, madness and exile, love and loss.
Hugh Lupton spoke to Peter Dixon about storytelling and the show.
