Zena Edwards at OPEN Ealing

---

Saturday 21st March

Spoken-word poet Zena Edwards pays a welcome return to OPEN Ealing this coming Saturday (21st March) to present another beguiling evening of words, movement and music.

Hailing from Tottenham in north London, Zena delves into her Afro-Caribbean heritage to find inspiration for her poems and stories. And she enhances them in performance with traditional African intruments, such as the kalimba and the kora, plus backing musicians.

It's a powerful, dynamic and entrancing combination. Zena made a big impression on OPEN audiences a couple of years back with her monologue The Three Furies, which reached into Greek mythology to provide a focus for women's anger in the 12st century. She also performed parts of that show at London's Royal Festival Hall where she shared a stage with South African trumpeter Hugh Masakela.

Read more about the night here - it's the perfect way to celebrate the start of spring!
