In the 1920’s and 30’s writer and humorist Don Marquis introduced Archy the cockroach and his friend Mehitabel the cat plus a host of other insect lowlifes to the world. Their adventures were syndicated throughout America from a column in the New York Daily Sun and the cult of Archy was born.

Through the exasperated voice of Archy, former free verse poet now reincarnated and  trapped in the body of a cockroach, Don Marquis created a perfect alter ego to record his witty satirical insect eye view of humans and their endless follies - often funny and sometimes painfully astute. Now brought to brilliant life by award winning veteran British actor Patrick Kealey
