The Goodbye Library

by Emmy The Great & Jack Underwood
Featuring Elizabeth Sankey (Summer Camp), Miriam Elia, Joe Dunthorne, Nikesh Shukla & Ladies of the Press*

The Nave | Please bring a book you no longer want to the show.

Mining the Dewey Decimal classification system, Emmy The Great and poet Jack Underwood waltz through ten sections of their 000-999. Inspired and shaped by categories found in British libraries. From True-Life Tragedy, through Mind, Body & Spirit, Sociology, Large Print, and Teen Fiction, Emmy and Jack use song, poetry, multimedia to present a light-hearted lament for the library. Featuring guest contributions from Elizabeth Sankey – one half of indie duo Summer Camp – comedian and visual artist Miriam Elia, Coconut Unlimited author Nikesh Shukla and novelist and poet Joe Dunthorne.

A London Word Festival Commission. Supported by the PRS for Music Foundation.
