Strut & Fret

Strut & Fret A five-star theatre company producing small-scale plays on the London and Edinburgh fringe. Meet Philip Larkin. Can you loathe the man and admire the work?

Arguably, Britain’s greatest poet of the 20th century. Certainly, a highly complex and controversial figure. In this, his centenary year, Larkin divides opinion more than ever. A literary lion to some, an unforgiveable bigot to others. Somehow, three strong, intelligent, independent women seemed to love both.

‘Larkin with Women’, Ben Brown’s award-winning play, is a provocative, funny and moving

exposé of the last thirty years of Larkin’s life - dominated by his relationships, and often simultaneous affairs, with a trio of very different women. The Bard of Humberside was also a most unlikely Don Juan in Hull…

This powerhouse production from five-star company Strut & Fret sits at the heart of the official ‘Larkin100’ programme. Commemorating his centenary, it’s the perfect opportunity to re-evaluate the enigma of Philip Larkin - as writer, lover and human being.
