As well as performing in the Wireless Mystery Theatre at this year's Belfast Fringe Festival, I am also taking part in Fringe Benefits' Poetry Jukebox.
This was Peter Quigley's inspired idea to have people in the Forestside Shopping Centre pay a pound, go into a photo booth-sized jukebox, and hear the poem they had selected from the list, performed by an actor, for them and only them.
I am performing Jenny Kissed Me by Leigh Hunt and The Lake Isle of Innishfree by WIlliam Butler Yeats. Among the other poetics delights are If by Rudyard Kipling, Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
Both the Poetry Jukebox and the Wireless Mystery Theatre are so intriguing that Nuala McKeever singled them out as shows to watch out for during the festival launch and The Belfast Telegraph named them both in the Top Ten Highlights of the festival.
So if you are heading to No Alibis on Friday for the Wireless Mystery Theatre, or are enjoying pre-Halloween shopping in Forestside and pop in for a poem, enjoy being part of the very first Belfast Fringe Festival.
