Wendy Cope!

If you are looking for advice on how to mend a broken heart then poet Wendy Cope has the answer:

1. Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: get to know him better.

These lines provide an insight into the wry and ironic humor of one of Britain’s best loved and most most widely read poets. Theatr Harlech are delighted that Wendy Cope has accepted the invitation on Friday 9 October 7.30pm to give her slightly seditious and totally frank session on the subject of men and other unsatisfactory elements of day to day life!

Bloody men are like bloody buses
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.

You look at them flashing their indicators,
Offering you a ride.
You're trying to read their destinations,
You haven't much time to decide.

If you make a mistake, there is no turning back.
Jump off, and you'll stand there and gaze
While the cars and the taxis and lorries go by
And the minutes, the hours, the days.


Wendy Cope was voted Radio 4’s number one choice for Poet Laureate and her collection fo poems If I don’t know was nominated for the Whitbread Poetry Prize.
This will be a fresh and entertaining poetry reading followed by a question and answer session from the quiet phenomenon who has proved that quality can be popular! Signed copies of her poetry will be on sale after the reading. Tickets are available from the box office 01766 780667 for £8 (£10 on the door) or online from www.theatrharlech.com

The day he moved out was terrible-
That evening she went through hell.
His absence wasn’t a problem
But the corkscrew had gone as well.
