What The Elders Left Us

from Front Row · host BFM Media

In the years after Merdeka, Malaysian artists were reimagining who we were and who we could be. The 1960s gave rise to painters who wrote plays, musicians who composed national anthems, and theatre-makers who told stories of identity and belonging. What The Elders Left Us is a new festival that revisits that vibrant period, not just to celebrate it, but to ask what lessons and legacies it holds for us today. Joining us to share more about the festival are Artistic Director Jo Kukathas from The Instant Café Theatre, and collaborator Paul Augustin formerly with the Penang House of Music, who are helping bring these forgotten stories back to life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Tim May on Ohio State Football Lettermen Row Tim May brings decades of experience to his work covering Ohio State football.
