Telephone Tables by Wild Rumpus
Saturday 20 April - Sunday 21 April 11am - 4pm. Monday 22 April 9 - 3pm. DROP IN.

Take a moment, and dial in to hear Letters to the Earth or The Lost Words in audio form. Sit at the vintage telephone tables, dial the number for Emma Thompson, Sam Lee or Jenny Ngugi, and close your eyes with the receiver to your ear, as you listen, reflect, and let their words resonate. Created by Wild Rumpus.

The Vintage Telephone Installation consists of 6 x GPO 746 Rotary Telephones, each installed on an individual vintage telephone table with integrated seating. Each telephone is programmed with 20 readings from the Letters to the Earth audiobook or chapters from the audio adaptation of The Lost Words, each with its own telephone number. Audiences can dial any of the designated numbers on the phone, and listen to the reading. A ‘phone book’ will be provided, attached to each table, with the telephone numbers inside.
