Michael Rosen is one of the most beloved writers in the country, with countless children’s books and adult books and collections of poetry that can take readers through their entire lives.
What he has also written about – with his customary grace and humour - are taboo, difficult topics which people tend to avoid during those lives: illness and death. And these topics are at the centre of his new show at the Old Vic on 19 October, called Getting Through It.
