Jackie stars in Positive Images festival

Jackie Hagan, Albany Theatre, Earlsdon, June 3.

Manchester-based poet, amputee and stand-up comedian Jackie

Hagan heads the line-up for a day of poetry, music and story-telling

at the Albany Theatre on Saturday, June 3.

Her evening show, Poetry from the Stage, described as poetry with

moments of dance, music, ‘the theatrical’ and comedy, raising love

for disabled artists, is part of this year’s Positive Images festival in

Coventry.

The show, which is free, also features Indian music and dance and

performances from a range of poets, national and local, including

the Coventry Live Poets. It starts at 7pm.

Earlier in the day, Coventry’s Pru Porretta, aka Lady Godiva, is one

of the storytellers at an Imagination Storytelling Café at the theatre

(2-4pm), alongside Kusumika Chatterjee and musicians Jah-man

Aggrey (drummer) and Chris Cook (sitar).

The event is supported by The Arts Council
