"Truth Be Told"

 

A fiery, dynamic performer

​

Pete Cranmer  is known for his dynamic poetry, his powerful delivery, 

and his versatility, having appeared throughout the country in solo shows

and  at theatres, art centres, schools, colleges,and various events

​

Pete has performed his poetry for many years in theatres,

arts centres, music events and schools. He has written and performed several theatre/poetry shows, notably Young Lions!, a show about World War I

and the show of the book: Between the In-Breath and the Out.

​

Pete comes from an acting background and his often intense  and energised

presentation reflects this. His understanding of dramatic dialogue informs a great

deal of his writing and its portrayal. He uses acting skills to open out and fully communicate the emotional heft of his poems:

​

“Acting isn’t ‘adding on’. It’s not ‘something extra’. It’s revealing.

My only goal is to try to unveil the truth of what’s written,

communicate the emotions in an honest, empathetic way. Simply put:

If I’m authentic, if I believe what I’m writing and enacting –

then, hopefully, you will too.”
