Roger McGough – That Awkward Age

An evening of poems to amaze & delight! Roger McGough wrestles with mortality, seeks love in the launderette and jives in Macca’s trousers. He shares the pain of Lord Godiva and Mr Nightingale, considers his Final Poem and shakes a fist at Alzheimer’s. Addresses, elegies & ever perceptive playfulness make this a must-not-miss. Followed by a book signing. www.rogermcgough.org.uk
