Drawings of Dromedaries (and Other Creatures)
John Hegley

Drawings of Dromedaries (and Other Creatures) is the latest show from celebrated poet and musician John Hegley. It features a selection of John's crayoned creatures - appearing in poems, drawings and songs across a 90-minute performance.

A pair of our titular Dromedaries emerge in the activities of Monsieur Robinet alongside the Frenchman's faithful canine companion, Chirac. Other dogs include that of 19th Century American geologist Florence Bascomb; as well as D. H. Lawrence's tortoise, puffins, a ladybird, a frog and half a dragon. The show contains rhymes, stories and possibly dancing.
