Eb and Flo on the Beach

Eb and Flo on the Beach

Friday 5 Sep 2025, 7:30pm

Ebenezer and Florence in: Eb and Flo on the Beach.

A poetry reading/performance with sound and music. Eb and Flo meet on The Beach of Infinite Possibilities. Two somewhat Becketian characters waiting for the tide. To come in? To go out? They’re not sure and neither are we. As they wait they gather up the poems
and songs that wash up from the unpath’d waters to the undream’d shore and try to fashion something out of them, their poetic exchanges ebbing and flowing, overlapping and tangential, cohering and refracted. Poetry in flux, rippling with magic, mythology and fable.
A musician bobbing by stops to lend a hand.

With Roger West, Lynne Nesbit, Paul Gunn
