“Black is the earth-globe, one inch under,
An egg of blackness
Where sun and moon alternate their weathers
To hatch a crow, a black rainbow
Bent in emptiness
over emptiness
but flying”

This sounds great. Handspring Puppet Company, the puppet handlers behind War Horse, are turning Ted Hughes’ Crow into theatre for the Greenwich + Docklands Festival next month. Details here. The Independent have more here.
