Forever continues at The Peacock this week. It’s a deeply personal story about her harrowing childhood and youth, sexual trauma and growing up with an alcoholic, abusive and manipulative mother in Harlem – who nonetheless gave her a love for books and music. She talks about her inspiring visit to the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, burial place of so many writers and artists, including Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison, whose recording of Light My

Fire had been a revelation to her when she was a child. She is also an admirer of Phil Lynott. Runs until July 15.
