This is happening two weeks from today!

Way back in June @erasmuscroc1 Erasmus Croc booked an unofficial Shropshire launch date for The Barkside of the Moon at Yarborough House in Bishop’s Castle.

And now it’s nearly here!

Yarborough House Takeover, Bishop’s Castle:

📅 Saturday 12th September from 7-9pm
📍 Yarborough House Bookshop, Bishop’s Castle
🎟️ Free entry with a ticket

Yarborough House is my mum’s shop and the place where I grew up so this is going to be a special night.

We’re already over halfway through our stack of tickets. If you’d like to come, message me directly and I’ll send you a free ticket. My mum also has tickets available in the shop, so you can pop in and give her your name.

Erasmus Croc and I will be joined by Barney Wright, the legendary monster dog Black Shuck and the newest member of our team, Barry
 the stunt slug.

We’ll be bringing material from our recent Fringe shows in Wolverhampton, Morecambe, Carnforth and Durham, alongside brand new Bishop’s Castle themed poems and stories.

Expect folklore, strange tales, dark humour…

…and bubble mayhem in BC. 🫧

What a night in Bishop’s Castle last Saturday 12th September!

The debut of our one-off show and an evening of amazing firsts with @aaron.wright2 

🐊. The first appearance in Bishop’s Castle of the world’s first poetry crocodile, @erasmuscroc1 Erasmus Croc.

🎤 Our first full-length spoken word show in our hometown of Bishop’s Castle and our home county of Shropshire.

📖  The debut of several Bishop’s Castle themed poems:
Bishop’s Castle

Massive thanks to all of those who attended our Yarborough House Takeover. You were a wonderfully receptive and appreciative audience.

Huge thanks goes to my mum, Carol Wright, for letting us loose with our poetry mayhem at Yarborough House Book and Record shop.

Thanks to my brother Joe Wright for helping set things up and my sister @bexwright1 Becky Hilton and her husband @davehilton1977 Dave Hilton for supporting us and tidying away all the chairs with the help of 5 year old Jacob.

To my brother Ben Wright and his wife @annewright1968 for his support and Be. For inspiring the poem

Thanks to my wife @allypatton Ally Patton for her encouragement and support.

Thanks goes to my kids @jack.thewrightstuff Jack Wright and @_katiewright__ Katie Wright for the photos, videos and support

Obviously a big thank you goes to my manager, @erasmuscroc1 Erasmus Croc for arranging the gig and cracking the whip, or at least his tail.

Thanks to Barney Wright for his catering skills (especially in the kebab department), Black Shuck and Barry the Stunt slug. Barry is now permanently on our payroll as the agency kindly said we could keep him.

Thanks to our amazing audience who applauded, cheered and laughed throughout the performance.

@paulabrayford Paula Brayford and John Brayford it was great to see you there and thanks for coming.

Once again a huge thank you to all the following Fringe festivals and poetry party people for helping with the development o by @erasmuscroc1
