Rapunzel Wizard, with Shade Wizard
Tuesday 8 May 2007
8.30pm
Enigma [Venue 3]
Admission Free
Get beyond the swampy style media stereotypes, to the reality of life on a bypass protest site. In a series of linked poems written and performed by Rapunzel Wizard with narration by Shade Wizard, you can hear a true voice from the underground.
This show has previously been performed at the Big Green Gathering, and was a sell out success at Brighton Fringe Festival.

Rapunzel Wizard performs comic poems with a political edge. This has led to him being called The Beast from Brighton, which was a good description until he moved to Aberdeen. |
