Standon Calling at Cafe OTO
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 4TH JULY 2009
Nearby Standon Calling at Cafe OTO

Lucky Londoners are getting a sneak preview of the line-up at Standon Calling, the boutique festival which takes place at the end of July in the grounds of a 16th century Hertfordshire manor house. For a taster of the main event head to Cafe OTO on Saturday 4th July where a sample of the street theatre and literary line-up gets an airing. On the following day, Sunday 5th July, the Family Picnic at Stoke Newington's Clissold Park mixes face painting with nursery rhymes and games - you just need to bring your own picnic. At Cafe OTO, poet, author and founder of the book club boutique Salena Godden is joined by singer and performer Rachel Raynor bringing this free weekly spoken word book club from Soho's drinking dens to Dalston. There's also interactive theatre from The Heritage Arts Company who've worked with Punchdrunk, Kneehigh and The National Theatre. Meanwhile, Craig Taylor performs selections from his new book One Million Tiny Plays about Britain (as seen is his weekly column in the Guardian's Saturday magazine). It's the one where snippets of overheard conversations are played out for the nation's weekend amusement.About Cafe OTO
