Book Festival-Michael Rosen, Getting Through it
Join poetry legend Michael Rosen as he presents his new one-person show Getting Through It, formed of a double bill of monologues, The Death of Eddie and Many Kinds of Love.
Getting Through It is a powerful, deeply personal yet universally relatable, double bill of monologues and poetry.
In the first part, The Death of Eddie, Michael explores his experience after losing his 18-year-old son to meningitis, recalling the strange and contradictory mix of emotions felt after the unexpected loss. This story, memorably captured in Michael’s children’s book The Sad Book, is told in vivid and poetic detail.
In the second part, Many Kinds of Love, Michael recounts his 48-day period in intensive care, after contracting COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and having to face his own mortality. Both stories are told with Michael’s signature positivity, humour and poetry. Together, the two pieces are a testimony to the spirit of recovery.
