Pushkin's Half Hour
Crosspath
2018


Written and performed by John Agard
Directed by Mark C. Hewitt

Music arranged and performed by Sophia Poznansky
with additional songs in Russian performed by Pam Hewitt

A whimsical whirlwind homage to mixed race Russian poet, Pushkin, in which
John Agard transforms Pushkin's famous verse novel, Eugene Onegin, into a contemporary parlour production in which he plays all the parts. Not just Pushkin and his alter-ego Onegin, but love interest Tatyana and the old nursemaid Filipevna! With live incidental music by Sophia Poznansky (accordion) & cabaret chanteuse Pam Hewitt (voice).
