Fitction Adaptation: Who is Raymond Antrobus?

Born in Hackney, East London in 1986 Raymond Antrobus was the son to an English mother and Jamaican Father. He has been performing poetry since December 2007 and left his personal trainer career to embark on different path, as a writer, photographer and spoken word artist.

Raymond's Poems are very descriptive, telling stories which paint a vivid picture within the mind. His descriptive powers and ability to brilliantly tell stories with such compassion make him very talented as not only a writer of poems but as a performer of his poems.

Raymond is very passionate within his poems, a lot of his poems appear to be very personal to his and conveys his emotions though poetry which makes them very interesting to listen too.

Few examples of his work are as below:

What I will include within my adaptation:

- Try to convey emotion through voice-over and characters
- Allow for long pauses in dialogue on key lines
- For my poem, a key word of the overall plot is alienation
- Period set within 1980s England
