Words by Alfred Fagon

Work:: Words by Alfred Fagon (S01435123928)

Join us as our Studio becomes a cabaret club for a week, exploring the plays and poems of the late, influential Alfred Fagon. Readings and performances of his published work mix with rarities, alongside creative responses from today's writers and musicians. From Caribbean exiles making a life in Bristol at 11 Josephine House, to the search for identity in this Shakespeare Country, ?home' in Alfred Fagon's plays is a questing journey; not a place. Finding No Soldiers in St Paul's, pool hustlers playing for Four Hundred Pounds, and a scrap of newspaper announcing The Death of a Black Man, his writing is by turns hilarious, desolate, and questioning. Alfred Fagon's river ran from Clarendon, Jamaica, to Nottingham, Bristol and London. He was a boxing champion, a welder, an actor, poet, and playwright. After his untimely death in 1986 a statue was erected in St Paul's, Bristol, and the Alfred Fagon Award created for writers.
