Lizzie Nunnery, Vidar Norheim, Unity Theatre

Lizzie Nunnery, Martin Smith, Martin Heslop and Vidar Norheim will combine poetry, live music, storytelling and film by Tim Brunsden to create a new work inspired by The Mersey Sound, and specifically poet Adrian Henri.

Horny Handed Tons of Soil is inspired by Henri's poetic response to the urban geography of Liverpool and will explore the themes of destruction, construction and memory within the stories of what has been lost and found, in the re-sculpting of the Liverpool landscape over the last fifty years.

In these specially created library shows, Lizzie Nunnery and Vidar Norheim perform extracts from Horny Handed Tons of Soil alongside work by Henri and their own back catalogue.
