Join us to celebrate 5x15's fifteenth birthday!
To mark the occasion, we'll be back at The Tabernacle in February for a very special evening, featuring a truly stellar line-up of speakers: Harriet Walter, John Crace, Jonathan Freedland, Theresa Lola and Chloe Dalton.
Expect captivating stories about Shakespeare's women, as reinterpreted by a beloved classical actress; the inspiring work of a German Jewish author writing during the Second World War; poetry and diasporic experience; a transformative encounter with an injured hare in the countryside and a satirical look at British politics - from the point of view of Herbie the dog.
Theresa Lola is a poet, writer, and creative practitioner. She was the appointed Young People’s Laureate for London in the year 2019-20. In 2018 she was the co-winner of the Brunel International African Poetry Prize. Her work is included in the OCR’s GCSE English Literature syllabus. As a practitioner she infuses poetry to deliver creative outcomes. She has worked on projects by the National Gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery, and presented an audio documentary on BBC Radio 4. She has been commissioned by Selfridges, Rimowa, and Hush. Her second poetry collection, Ceremony for the Nameless (2024), is published by Penguin.
