Abstract or Description

Drawn from one of the early detailed interviews with sissay about his monodrama, Something Dark, this article contextualises the play in relation to Sissay's poetry and puts the author/performer into dialogue with the many voices that he inhabits in order to represent his life in this facto-fictional form of dramatised life-writing.
