About

An evening of poems, drawings, stories and possibly dancing with John Hegley as he brings Drawings of Dromedaries to us at Colchester Arts Centre.

Included in the spectacle are a pair of Dromedaries, alongside a number of newly composed pieces touching on John Keats's letters and leisure activities. Other animals include Monsieur Robinet's faithful canine companion, Chirac; 19th Century American geologist Florence Bascomb's dog; as well as D. H. Lawrence's tortoise, puffins, cats, frogs, elephants and half a dragon.

'[an] exquisitely curated package that is unmistakably Hegley' (Chortle)

'Awesomely mundane' (Independent)
