Shakespeare is fun
Shakespeare as you have not seen it before comes to Debenham with The Pantaloons version of Macbeth.
READMOREThe 2010 Debenham Arts Festival concluded on Sunday, June 27, in gloriously sunny weather for the successful Music Day. It rounded off the festival's 10 day wide-ranging programme that provided such variety that there was surely something for everyone: books, cinema, music, drama and even an urban workshop including graffitti.
There is still a chance, though, to catch up on some of the things you might have missed. Half My Life Ago, local history audio installation, will be posted here soon. Meanwhile go to Listen Again on this website and hear Anthony Thwaite reading his poetry.
Recordings of three of the literary events at the festival are available. You can hear Ann and Anthony Thwaite, Benedict Gummer and Bernadine Evaristo.
Read more: Listen againMemories of Debenham past will be brought to life during the festival. You will be able to wander around the Market Green area and listen on radios to people of all ages telling of their memories of living in the village.

PredictiveI wanted Home but what I found was Good.
The system tricked me: I misunderstood.
The trees could not be seen for the dark wood.
The whole thing fitted snugly in my palm
And tried to pass its messages with calm
From palm to wrist and onward up the arm.
But something blocked intention. Whatever choice
Was left, unravelled: an uncertain voice
Spoke in oracular ambiguities.
So I am left with some dull metronome,
Counting mechanically. Again I come
To this, marked Good, when all I want is Home.
Anthony Thwaite will be reading from his work
in the Parish Church on Saturday June 19, at 7.30pm
