Simon Mole (1)

Poet Simon Mole tours his interactive spoken word performance for families in Spring 2018. Friends For All is a story about having the confidence to be yourself and stand up for what you believe in and features rapping, dancing and far-out video projections for ages 5-11 and their grown-ups.

8 year old Lexi doesn’t make friends as easily as some. If only her school would allow a non-school
uniform day then she could be herself and find others like her. Inspired by Grandad’s hippy stories
from the swinging 60s, she decides to fight the powers that be, namely her class teacher, Mr Marsh,
and the class bully, Suzy.

Poet and rapper Simon Mole performs in this humorous and moving piece, co-created with theatre
maker Peader Kirk. The show features Simon Mole’s trademark poetry, rap and storytelling style
alongside original video projections courtesy of Andrew Crofts, an original sound track composed by
Jonny Wharton and lighting design by Phil Clarke.
