Or... Why poets should have listened to their gut. Fresh from a sell-out national tour, Simon brings his ever-evolving exploration of memory, intelligence, creativity and the centaur back to Edinburgh for two weeks only. The lyrical ambition of Coleridge, the autumnal pathos of late period Sinatra and the mystic genius of Plato come together to create a better class of shadow. As seen on Live at the Apollo and heard on BBC Radio 4's News Quiz and Simon Evans Goes to Market. 100 Trillion Neutrinos Per Second Can't be Wrong! 'Masterclass' ***** (Scotsman). 'Jaw-Dropping' ***** (Chortle.co.uk).
