Subject: [Hawkwind] Robert Calvert at Pentameters Theatre, London

Pentameters is proud to present, as part of its 40th anniversary, a
double bill of short one-act plays in memory of the renowned
playwright and poet ROBERT CALVERT who died 20 years ago.

Cattle at Twilight, here premiered, is a fantasy about Noel Coward and
Hendrix set in a celestial zone.

The Stars that Play with Laughing Sam's Dice, premiered at Pentameters
in 1976 with a set designed by Barney Bubbles, portrays Sergeant
McNully and Jimi's last parachute jump in 1961.

The performance also features the newly re-discovered poem of Robert's
entitled Blue Grow The Rushes O.

These plays are directed and produced by Léonie Scott-Matthews, who
first presented Robert Calvert at Pentameters in 1969 reading from his
play The Box. He subsequently read his poetry there over the years.

Jonson Wilkinson plays Noel Coward, Jeff Mash (from Seattle -
Hendrix's birthplace) Sergeant McNully, and Jason Julien-Connage Jimi
Hendrix. The set is designed by Godfrey Old, with sound design by
Godfrey Old in collaboration with Edward Roumfort.

Wednesday 10th September until Saturday 20th September (no Monday
performance). There will also be a performance of these two plays at
the Robert Calvert Memorial Concert in Herne Bay on 28 September.

Tuesday - Saturday 8.00pm. Sunday 5.00pm.

Tickets £12. Concession £10. Box Office/Press 0207 435 3648.
