Everybody starts somewhere, and most misfits bloom into their own strange and exotic flower in the hothouse of high school. For Poet Laureate Telia Nevile - a socially awkward lover of long words - it was a time of pitfalls and peaks, secret poetry and public scorn. How did you go in the shark-infested waters of secondary schooling? Did you love it or loathe it? Well hang on to your graduation caps because Poet Laureate Telia Nevile is about to blow your poetic school socks off with odes such as 'You Can Ring My Bell Jar', 'If You Can't Handle the Heat, Get Out of the Tuckshop' and 'Losing My Virgil-inity'. For Whom the Bell Tolls will take you deep behind school lines for an intimately excruciating look at the beginnings of greatness in the wild surrounds of the blackboard jungle. Come relive the glory and the gore, the awe and the awfulness. 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival _x0018_ Best Newcomer_x0019_ Nominee 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival 'Golden Gibbo' Nominee _x0018_ **** A brilliant ode to the ostracised. A hilarious, sharp and affectionate portrait of teen angst, Nevile's character is in the league of Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole_x0019_ The Age. 'Put simply, Telia Nevile_x0019_ s performance of For Whom The Bell Tolls was absolutely brilliant' The Groggy Squirrel. 'Exquisite turns of phrase and wistful and ironic poetry& refreshingly and winsomely different' The Pun. 'Very moving and piss-funny' RHUM 'Emotional, intelligent, intimate and fashionably original' Buzzcuts.
