The School of Night

The School of Night is a collection of hard bardics extemporisers, originally convened by the late, great Ken Campbell.

In the company's theatrical shows, the rhapsodes create poetry and drama using ideas suggested by the audience, always under the stern gaze of the goader.

The result is an eccentric night of literary and theatrical celebration.
