The Wolf Returns to St Albans

If you’re looking for some arty entertainment on a Saturday night, try this cabaret evening at the Maltings Arts Theatre for a mix of music, folk songs and some of the best modern poetry around. This joint production by Ver Poets and Redbourn Folk Club brings creative talent from as far away as Amsterdam.
A major attraction is the poet Donald Gardner (latest book The Wolf Inside) – a performer with a rare knack of connecting with the audience and making verse that’s relevant to modern life. Although he has lived in Holland for many years, Donald has a cult following in this country – so when he was persuaded to give a reading in St Albans, Anne-Marie Fyfe the former chair of the national Poetry Society was keen to join the show.
She will be reading from her recent books House of Small Absences and Understudies. Her poems frequently have the flavor of a séance, evoking the spirits that lurk in domestic interiors. She has been a great populariser of modern poetry – and the performances she fronts at the Troubadour Café in Earls Court attract poets high and low to packed houses.
Also taking part in the evening will be her husband Cahal (C L Dallat) who’s a published poet, multi-talented musician and broadcaster. And the stars of the Redbourn Folk club, including Mike Ruff and Malcolm Hobbs who will MC the evening.
Tickets £7.50 (concessions £5) via theatre website: maltingsartstheatre.co.uk or on the door. Doors open at 7 pm for 7.30. Arrive early to buy a drink and get a good table
