THE story of one of Britain's best loved 20th Century poets is coming to the region.
Actor, playwright and director Tim Heath is bringing his one-man show, Summoned by Bells, to Pickering Little Theatre, North Yorkshire.
Summoned by Bells is the autobiography of the former Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman and was a best-seller when it was first published in 1960.
The account of his formative years, with all the dramas of family life, the excitement of holidays, terrors of public school and glories of Oxford between the two world wars is regarded as one of the great celebrations of growing-up.
Tim Heath's solo performance of the work was one of the highlights of the Betjeman Celebration at the Royal National Theatre in 1984 and has since been seen internationally in countless festivals, theatres and historic buildings.
The show will be at Pickering Little Theatre, at the Friends Meeting House in Castlegate, on March 20 at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £7 and £5 for pensioners and students, available from TV House, Market Place, Pickering or contact (01751) 476863.
