Bob Beagrie and Peter Lagan

Horncliffe Arts Society present celebrated poet and playwright Bob Beagrie who will be reading sections of both of his epic poems Leásungspell and it’s sequel Eftwyrd, which take you back in time to Anglo saxon northumbria.

Written in a powerful mix of Old English, modern English and northern dialect forms, Leásungspell is a narrative epic poem about a pre-Modern world. It is a tale of twisting digressions, dreamscapes and stories within stories. It is also an anti-epic, a fool’s yarn, the small tale of a nobody wandering alone through the Dark Ages.

The performance will also include music from Peter Lagan on lute and vocals.
