Review POEZEST musical play by mike bennett starring Dr and The Medics

Greater Manchester fringe festival. Venue The Peer Hat Manchester July

Clive Jackson is absolutely wonderful in this reimagining of legendary writer Poe .

Drifting through Sordid Gothic stories such asThe Black cat in the Raven The show goes at quite a pace and is augmented by fantastic film work created by noted Mancunian filmmaker Steve Boweden who has worked with John Cooper Clarke and other noted left-field artists

The script from mike bennett who wants produced The Fall is very much in the Twilight zone field.

The medics are brilliant as creepy scientist type characters and I recommend you catch this when it tours soon
