In the setting of a tent in Virginia Woolf's garden, New York singer, poet and artist Patti Smith performs work developed and completed during her residency at Charleston.
The intimate evenings of poetry and song are the result of Smith's life-long admiration for the work of Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell.
Smith is a New Jersey-born beat icon celebrated for punk records from her first spoken-word rant Piss Factory (1974) and debut album Horses (1975) to her recent comeback recordings.
She has also published four collections of her poetry and started work on a novel.
Smith retired from performing, although not from writing, in 1979 but returned in the Nineties as a recently-widowed mother of two children with renewed artistic energy.
With high cheekbones and greying, Indian-plaited hair, this is a true Bohemian legend not to be missed.
Smith will be accompanied by poet and songwriter Oliver Ray on acoustic guitar.
Starts 7.30pm, costs £18. Call 01273 709709.
