At 6 o’clock a Poetry Recital in The Barn Theatre will be given by staff, students, alumni and invited guests. It will comprise a wide range of material spoken or sung by performers of different ages. It will feature poetry by John Masefield, Poet Laureate and friend of Rose Bruford, and will include recordings of Rose herself speaking poetry and Shakespeare’s verse. Incidental music will be provided by College’s actor musicians.
