Some music and conversations with Mrs Butterdish.
An evening of readings of new Christmas poetry by Gavin Kostick, conversations with Mrs Butterdish and some seasonal music to bring us to a festive mood.
Me: … Er… I have a request for you Mrs Butterdish.
Mrs Butterdish: Yes, Mr Gavin?
Me: … Christmas is coming …
Mrs Butterdish: It is.
Me: And the Abbey have asked me to read some seasonal poetry, arrange for some music and so on.
Mrs Butterdish: The house of Yeats. You must be pleased.
Me: … I am … but there’s a thing.
Mrs Butterdish: Is it that they really want Young Master Toastrack?
Me: Lord, no. Of course not.
Mrs Butterdish: So what is this thing?
Me: They’ve only agreed to do it if you would join me in conversation.
Mrs Butterdish: …
Me: …
Mrs Butterdish: …
Me: Your thoughts, Mrs Butterdish?
Mrs Butterdish: Mr Gavin. Have you already agreed to this?
Me: Perhaps Mrs Butterdish – it is the house of Yeats.
Mrs Butterdish: We’ll see Mr Gavin, we’ll see.
Suitable for all ages
Presented as part of the Avolon Winter Season at the Abbey Theatre.
