Welcome to the nonsensical world of Edward Lear.

​

Birdcage Stage C.I.C. have been commissioned to exhibit five Edward Lear-inspired birdboxes on a trail throughout Prescot town centre, on the 20th and 21st August 2022.

​

Each birdbox plays a selection of Edward Lear's written works.  Can you find all five birdboxes?

 

Below, you can listen to all of Lear's poems, limericks and nonsense verse featured in the birdboxes.

CREDITS:
