Our Artistic Director Shon Dale-Jones just made a small but perfectly formed contribution to John Hegley's Radio 4 documentary There Was a Young Man From Limerick.
It's a lovely little show, featuring a latin limerick allegedly written by Thomas Aquinas, Wendy Cope's limerick version of TS Eliot's The Wastelands, "serious" limericks and lots of discussion of Edward Lear, the much-loved nonsense poet who popularised the limerick and whose work inspired Hoipolloi's show My Uncle Arly.
You can click here to launch BBC iPlayer and listen to the show anytime for the next seven days.
John Hegley introduced Shon in a typically quirky fashion, with this "limerick":
....Shon Dale-Jones
Who write and directs and who hones
Works for the stage
Which inform and engage
And his company Hoipolloi have used some of Edward lear's limericks in the creation of a biographical drama.
We'd like to thank John Hegley and BBC Radio 4 for inviting Shon onto the show.
I hope you get chance to listen on iPlayer this week if you didn't catch it first time round!
