T.S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral is revived in a new production by @OrangeTreeThtr at St John the Divine Church in Richmond.

Remembering my dear colleague & friend, the poet Douglas Dunn, who died on Friday.
One of the greats. Colourful, gruff & very kind. Though he was v private, his poetry ought to be everywhere in Scotland’s public places.
