Liverpool Playwright And Musician Commissioned To Create New Work Inspired By The Mersey Sound Poet Adrian Henri.

Lizzie Nunnery, a Liverpool-based singer and award-winning playwright has been commissioned by national poetry organisation Phrased & Confused to create a brand new work inspired by Liverpool, and in particular influential artist and poet Adrian Henri.

Adrian Henri came to prominence as a writer alongside Roger McGough and Brian Patten in the groundbreaking and irreverently contemporary Penguin anthology The Mersey Sound (1967), one of the best-selling poetry books of all time (over a quarter of a million copies to date). A celebrated performer, he was also a painter, playwright, novelist and librettist.
