Brighton Fringe Presents A LIFETIME OF LOVE, 5/4-6
If you struggle to get your man even to buy you flowers, Moss Rich's poems will melt your heart with a lifetime of love poems written to his wife Milly to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. Pighog Press published a selection of the poems as Lifetime of Love in a boxed set in 2011. The performance puts his poems in their historical context including his association with the Unity Theatre in the 1930s and the whole arc of Jewish culture through the twentieth century. This adaptation, starring Nic Choulman and Raymond Daniel-Davies, brings the poems to life in a promenade performance including projections and audio at the Bali Brasserie in Hove.
At age 101, billed as 'Britain's Oldest Working Poet' Moss Rich was deaf, blind but as prolific as ever. His unique collection of love poems, written since 1939 reflects a penetrating, earthy intellect and wicked sense of irony. He died in 2011.
Adapted for the stage by John Davies and produced by Shula Rich, this unusual and beautiful story is one not to miss at The Brighton Fringe Festival.
