10.04
Reviewed in the Kingston Guardian 11.04:
"RackerJacq, premiering the collaboration of
flautist Jacqueline Hynes and former UK
Grand Slam champion Racker Donnelly.
A grand juxtaposition of transfixing playing
set against the sparkling jacket and wit of
Racker, whose poems are roaringly funny.
In particular, SMOKING: "You could knit
a rug out of the fug" - amongst many other
standout lines - left the audience crying with
laughter."
