West Nottinghamshire College’s Create Theatre will be welcoming a local poet who will be delivering a show about growing up and getting it wrong, on Thursday 15 October.

Andrew ‘Mulletproof’ Graves will recount his past life as a council youth worker, offering tales of drugs, relationships, bullying, parental break-ups, starry-eyed punks and disappearing goths.

The show, called God Save The Teen, will interweave his own childhood stories about trying to come to terms with an aloof and difficult single father, who is unsympathetic towards his ‘poncey’ poetic leanings.

To buy tickets for the show, visit Create Theatre box office on www.createtheatre.co.uk or call 01623 413363. Tickets cost £8 each or £6 for concessions.
