Picture by Jon Arnold
Let Poet Laureate Telia Nevile welcome you into poetry's lyrical embrace. Rhyme and meter, rhythm and pitch, the pearls of poetry are coming thick and fast, and it's time she opened her mouth and let the opuses come out!
Sublimely ridiculous poetry for people who know life shouldn't be taken seriously, delivered by a character who doesn't know when to say when...
"It's an inventive, curious adventure, met with plenty of laughs...If the thought of a poetry reading terrifies you more than turbulence, relax: this flight soars. Four stars"
Margaret Paul - The Age
"A short, simple but utterly charming production...There's a bittersweet tenderness to this production that I found utterly disarming, as well as a sharp, dry wit and subtle, goofy, fragile charm. Highly recommended."

"Telia's world is subtle and delicate, filled with intricate details that create a complex and intelligent world that supports the naive hope of her character and spills into the hearts of her audience creating the kind of laughter that tickles your heart and feels as good as a cup of tea and a homemade lamington."
Anne-Marie Peard - www.aussietheatre.com.au (read it all by clicking here)
"Neville's poetry is great - bittersweet without being self-indulgent or twee; clever without signalling its own technical sophistication; and, perhaps most importantly for audiences a bit scared of spoken word, punctuated with a very dry, droll sense of humour."
