John Hegley: The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet
Mon 2 Apr. 2pm
Verse 2012: Stamford Poetry Festival Tales about a Frenchman with some unusual [but clean] habits, which include burying his dog's kennel and his own luggage pieces. The stories appear alongside other new works, which include an address to aliens on the subject of transport, a poem about a non-talking parrot and some animal impersonations with the aid of a handkerchief.
The audience are invited to sing along. But not to dance. Much.
Hegley is known as a poet and singer with a common and comedic touch, hence the quotation from The Observer,
'Awesomely mundane'
'Typically brilliant songs and stories about a Gallic small-town hero with a dog called Chirac' - The Guardian
