Pop Up Performances: Writing Edward King #3

We’ve performed our stories all over the city, from New Theatre Royal to Portsmouth City Museum, from allotments to cafes such as Southsea Coffee company, The Teatray, and Hunter-Gatherer. See some pics here.

  

Writing Edward King: Cityscapes of Portsmouth is a literature project inspired by the Portsmouth paintings of artist Edward King (1862-1951) who resided at St James’ Hospital, Milton (formerly Portsmouth Borough Asylum) for 25 years until his death.

Feeling ill? Seduction and disappointment? Too much novel reading? Political excitement. In the Victorian era, we’d all be vulnerable to such diagnoses, and might even end up locked away for it. Here’s my silly song about it, and my serious song about Edward King.
