Celebrating T.S. Eliot’s Birthday: A Tribute

‘Literary London’ on Resonance 104.4fm and BohemianBritain.com

A solemn-looking man with gray hair dressed in a vintage suit, sits in a library surrounded by stacks of books, reading intently from an open book.

Nick Hennegan celebrates the birthday of one of the most famous writers of all time – Thomas Stearns Eliot. With contributions from Y.B Yeats… and Taylor Swift! 
 

Guess where I am..!

You’ll never guess where I am. For the wedding of a very old chum. And in a glorious local pub, where I had ‘afters’ on me first night there! Just got back to me digs! #Pubs rock!

You may not have heard of it!

Only 5 days left to save West London!

A Dramatic Headline, right?

(But it really IS dramatic. Also I’m learning about this social media thing! Even though this is an email!)

Yes. We only have FIVE Days left to save West London. Well, The People’s Company, anyway..!

The R.S.C., National Theatre and others will be tutoring our BIG production that ANYONE can be involved with in London in early 2026!­

­As you may know, the Maverick Theatre Company is all about access to the arts. And this is a unique way for ANYONE who wants to have a go at ANYTHING to do with theatre: on stage, backstage, front of house, set design, marketing, producing, directing, music-making, social media, acting, etc. to have a go!

No qualifications or experience are needed – just a desire to have a go! If you want in – you’re in! And you will be tutored by some of the best names in the business, including the National Theatre and the R.S.C. – FOR FREE!

BUT we need to raise the funds to make this happen. AND WE’RE NEARLY THERE!  
I know things are tight at the moment. But if everyone who receives this newsletter was able to commit just £2, we’d be fully funded!
But again, I know things are tight so please don’t worry if even £2 is a stretch at the moment. 

But the Birmingham People’s Company produced some brilliant experiences, stories and encouragement to future artists. Many of that company are now working in theatre and the arts. We now want to repeat that experience in West London.

You rock!

Well that’s a wrap!

Us in Edinburgh! John, Bobby and Nick.

Well that’s a wrap on the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

Our Edinburgh Literary Pub Crawl went well and we have hundreds of new ‘Crawler’ friends. So it’s goodbye to Bobby Davro and John Slater for a bit. Although spare a thought for Slater and all the other crew folk who now have to put Edinburgh ’back to normal’!

The Literary Pub Crawl now returns to London!

Join us, every Saturday at 5pm! www.LondonLiteraryPubCrawl.com
