Another magical evening! Michael Morpurgo charmed us with a story in which a youngster encounters the greatest artist in the world. Cezanne, or was it actually Picasso? Then Margaret Drabble took us to her childhood and from there into the heart of Van Gogh. Then we moved with Andrew Motion into the public and private worlds of Rousseau as he watches over the gates of Paris. The evening ended with a new poem by Andrew Motion in response to the painting. Wonderful!
