Robert Gillett transforms The Old Library's atmospheric setting into an intimate literary salon with A Way With Words, a spoken word performance that effortlessly bridges the gap between comedy club and poetry reading. Drawing from his latest collection, Gillett weaves together sharp observational humour with tender reflections on identity and family life, creating an evening that feels more like conversation than performance. This master storyteller navigates between laugh-out-loud moments and quieter contemplations with remarkable ease, making poetry genuinely accessible to newcomers while rewarding seasoned spoken word enthusiasts. Bodmin's beautifully restored literary venue provides the perfect backdrop for Gillett's down-to-earth delivery style, fostering genuine connection between performer and audience. Expect warmth, wit, and thought-provoking storytelling that lingers long after the final words fade. With a two-hour runtime including interval, there's ample time to fully immerse in this uplifting celebration of language and human experience.
