John Turnbull has, over three decades to now, devised six theatre pieces (“The Gallery Show” being the latest); all created, written and performed by himself. Verbatim performance for live audiences. Exploring love, life's wonder and its absurdity, the human condition, mystery and imagination. The beat poetry of Ginsberg, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, Corso. Romantic poets, Keats, Coleridge, Byron and their political passions. And by far not least, the otherness and delights of the animal world.
