Venus rides again...

Following critically-acclaimed performances in Stratford and London, brilliant classical pianist Gamal Khamis and I are greatly looking forward to bringing Venus & Adonis to OSO Arts Centre (The Theatre on Barnes Pond), SW London on Wed 24th Sept, directed by Georgia Brown. Please do join us for Shakespeare's riveting early narrative poem, interspersed with Felix Mendelssohn's hauntingly 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 May 2025:

“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
