Venus & Adonis in the West End

Just under three weeks till we perform Shakespeare's immortal but rarely heard solo poem Venus & Adonis at Jermyn Street Theatre on Wed July 9th, 7.30pm. Still a few tickets left so please do join me along with brilliant pianist Gamal Khamis, who intersperses the poem with Mendelssohn's lyrically beautiful Songs Without Words. It's a constantly surprising work that starts as high comedy and ends in the depths of tragedy.

Reviews from Shakespeare In Music Festival, Stratford last month:

“Remarkable and of the highest quality… Christopher Kent didn’t read Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis, he performed it, creating wonderful distinctive voices for the two characters and the narrator...beautifully matched in tempo and mood by Gamal Khamis’s playing....I was bowled over by the quality of the performances.” Stratford Herald

"Actor Christopher Kent gave a brilliant performance, beautifully accompanied by Gamal Khamis on piano." Richard Morris
