DESCRIPTION:On 20 February the writer\, composer and actor James Lark will

 ra 'Three Tales'\n\nThis fascinating work explores the role of technology 
 in the twentieth century through a close examination of three major events
 : the explosion of the Hindenburg zeppelin\, the atom bomb tests at Bikini
  Atoll\, and the cloning of Dolly the Sheep. The third tale\, 'Dolly'\, ex

 show 'The Rise and Fall of Deon Vonniget' ('very funny… fantastically sk
 ewed' – the New York Times). James is also an accomplished writer and ac
