Some of the stewarding and book sales team got together this week to meet actor Dan Krickler and director John Retallack. This team of teenagers from the local area will be checking tickets on the door, selling books, and giving out the letterpress printed poems after the show.

Here they are trying out some of the costumes and props from the exhibition that will run alongside the play, at 20 Castle Street in Hay-on-Wye.

Have you bought your tickets for the play? Buy online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/thestoryofbooks or in person at The Poetry Bookshop in Hay.
