The Life And Rhymes Of Archy And Mehitabel

23 - 24 Sept 2024

Theatre Nation presents 'The Life And Rhymes Of Archy And Mehitabel'

hi everybody, archy here. archy is a character created by new york humourist don marquis, back in the nineteen thirties. he's a cockroach, who somehow has become inhabited by the transmigrated soul of a free verse poet. archy’s quite a philosopher, too, but because he’s a cockroach the only way he can communicate with the world is by climbing on don marquis’s typewriter, and jumping onto the keys, to type out his thoughts letter by letter - philosophical, comical, satirical, whimsical topical and ecological entertainment
