Edinburgh Festival Fringe
The Poet Laureate and her virtuoso musical collaborator return with an inspiring tribute to the past and some fresh perspectives on the present. Opening with a timely memorial to the fallen of the First World War that counterpoints the poetry of the soldier with Carol Ann’s response, two voices separated by a hundred years of history, it moves through contemporary themes with depth, wit and an engaging lightness of touch.
