The Park Bench Reader is an ongoing performance series by the artist Bram Thomas Arnold. Regular Sunday afternoons find Bram reading a classic work of English Literature to passing members of the public. In 1840 Joseph Strutt opened England's first public park, the decade went on to give voice to a whole generation of England's finest authors. The Park Bench Reader seeks to draw these two seemingly unassociated events together again and question the pace of life in a society ever racing forward.
The Park Bench Reader. Volume 7. Sunday 6th April. 2pm.
Read: D. H. Lawrence's 'The rainbow'
Start: "The Brangwens had lived for generations on the Marsh Farm, in the meadows where the Erewash twisted sluggishly through alder trees, separating Derbyshire from Nottinghamshire."
End: "But he despised the net result in him of the experience - he despised it deeply and bitterly."
Notes. Bitterly cold, snow on ground. Second outing for the rainbow. Enjoyed.
