This episode features readings from BECAUSE EARTH IS FLAT: A FLAT EARTH POETRY COLLECTION, written in collaboration with SEAN PRESTON. The tone here is lighter, more playful, jokey, compared to other episodes of the series, with the confessional-style poetic stylings being replaced by gags, humour and general cheekiness.
Also featuring Cubby the Dog on the stage.
Directed by Jane Frances Dunlop
DOP – Paul Dunlop
Written by Scott Manley Hadley and Sean Preston
Performed by Scott Manley Hadley
