To celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the publication of ‘The Waste Land’, we present a live reading of the entire poem by award-winning Faber & Faber poets David Harsent, Richard Scott and Hannah Sullivan.

Directed by Richard Skinner of Vanguard Readings, this promises to be a great finale to the Margate Bookie.
