The Lift
Doncaster is a large, and very ordinary British town. It's not at all exciting. But this little entertainment troupe managed to inject a little fun into the shopping streets back in 2017.
2017-05-13 - The Lift
I was in Doncaster on 13th May 2017 and on my way back to the station when I chanced upon this peculiar but amusing piece of street entertainment. Performed by a recently disbanded group called Wet Picnic, "The Lift" had three bellhops and this big lift prop... people would pick a floor and trigger a particular show. I shot 20 minutes of this as it was pretty funny and almost missed my train. Later I discovered someone had posted a snippet from this very performance on social media and have spliced in bits of that to give a rare "multi-angle" sequence near the end of this extract. Good fun... I really enjoyed watching this.

The Broken Promise
everything altered.
Memories faded slowly,
leaving this trace
of sadness
in the twilight
where memories
flicker, waver,
and are restless.
Silencing thoughts.
Words unspoken,
then mumbled.
And this day too
will die alone,
grieving for
the broken promise.
