Spring by Ali Smith

What unites Katherine Mansfield, Charlie Chaplin, Shakespeare, Rilke, Beethoven, Brexit, the present, the past, a man mourning lost times, a woman trapped in modern times? With an eye to the migrancy of story over time, and riffing on Pericles, one of Shakespeare's most contradictory works, this is the impossible tale of an impossible time. Presented with walls and lockdown, Ali Smith opens the door.
