One-man stage show exploring Belfast-born Louis MacNeice, known now mainly for his poetry and for the radio plays he wrote while working in London as a radio producer in the BBC. He is here portrayed in 1963 mulling over episodes from his life in his last few months alive, in a conjectural piece drawing on his writings and on the memories of friends. He left his childhood behind when sent to preparatory school in Dorset and then to Marlborough, then after Oxford made his life in England, mainly as 'a man of the BBC' in London. His parents hailed from the West of Ireland while he regarded Dublin as 'home from home'. So why did he pen the line 'This was never my town...'? Christened 'Frederick Louis' and known to all as Freddie, he announced just before leaving school that he wanted to be called Louis instead. Why?
