Isley Lynn

Written over the period of one year, this collection of over 20 poems dissects the development of a single relationship, which is at times uplifting, cheeky, saddening and charming.  No punches pulled.

Dove Songs - An Anthology, Chronologically

Isley Lynn

Poems, snippets, dialogues and confessions of a young girl in love with a grown man.  Pivoting around a traditionally taboo subject, this is a tellingly raw piece of work from a writer with the need to purge demons long gone.

Teeny Tiney Zeeny Zinee

Isley Lynn

A petite collection of pipsqueak poems that can fit in your pocket.  Cheaply made but worth the world, this is a sweet little insight into the wandering mind of a poet with rhyme, if not always reason.

Rob Sherman

This poetry zine is a collaboration by Exeter-based poet and musician Rob Sherman, and the South-West artist Jack Teagle. With themes from God to snail sex, there's something for everyone.  On sale through No Guts No Glory in Exeter.

An evening of monologue, circumstance and perhaps a little romp. Each play will be 15 minutes long, brought by the best in current and past Exeter talent, performed by the same actors, script in hand but adapting to new roles every quarter hour. The venue has a full bar, a beautiful atmosphere and there will be a poetry set by Isley Lynn to accompany the plays.  Great for anyone who are thespians, thespiphiles, or need to overcome their thespiphobia.

Good Mourning begins with two friends, late at night, their friendship stretching out behind them, both unsure of what stands before them.  Polly wants to commit suicide.  Lani is supportive, but affected by her own experiences.  They spend the rest of that night trying to determine the best way to go about ending your own life, which is not as simple as one might think. 

Performed 9th & 10th February at The Bike Shed Theatre

The God In The Well is at times a fairy-tale, at others social satire, as well as a dark dialogue between the forces of imagination and reason. The story of one fateful weekend in the lives of three headstrong, independent young people, this play asks serious questions of imagination and growing up. Set exclusively in the hermetic environment of an old abbey and its crumbling, mysterious well, we are presented with the border between story and reality, nature and civilization, as well as childhood and the pain of adulthood.

Performed 12th, 13th & 14th November at The M&D Room

“The Temple of Nothing is a company of women artists that explores the impossible and paradoxical through performance art; live, recorded, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, just text, just noise, visual media, silence and nothing.”  With their new performance ‘Women Are Revolting’ bursting with conceptual spectacle, this was more than just a piece of theatre, but a celebration of female artists across a wide range of disciplines, all examining and marking what it means to be female.

Performed July 11th at The Phoenix, Exeter

Isley Lynn – Writer, Co-Director

Isley Lynn’s witty and masterful reimagining of Aristophanes’ classic tale.  Isley draws influence from a vast range of styles, from the original ancient Greek, Shakespearian language and slam poetry.  The result is a production overflowing with lyrical imagery and sexy, ballsy mirth.
