"MACDUFF: That way the noise is..." @ Bangkok Poetry / June 7

The theme for the next Bangkok Poetry happening on Thursday, June 7th is "MACDUFF: That way the noise is...."

This line is taken from the Scottish Play. "The Scottish Play," you ask? That's an old euphemism for a certain play by Mr. William Shakespeare -- it's believed that to speak the play's name (or, indeed, even to quote the play) in a theater is to call down disaster. (Um..., but this is Bangkok; we're not in a theater.) (Aren't we?)

Okay, this theme is a bit cryptic (MacDuff? Noise? Which way?). But it's also topical. Take it where you will. See what happens.

Priority will be given to artists choosing to take up the theme. If you'd like to perform an original work, contact us ASAP -- spots will go swiftly. Email: bangkokpoetry@gmail.com

See you on stage.
