Richard Quick trained for the theatre at Drama Centre, London. His writing includes verse and parody for BBC Radio 4’s satirical Week Ending… and a twenty year run as lyricist on Radio 2’s award-winning series The News Huddlines, working with many leading actors and comedians of the last decades. His BBC Radio 4 adaptations include The Larger Lunacy of Stephen Leacock, Educated Evans (Edgar Wallace) and his own book Simon’s Bug. Research in the 1970s brought him to Peter Green’s translation of Juvenal’s Satires and – what’s now become – a lifetime’s passion for both writers.The observation and lyricism delight and resonate

The Times
The uncanny parallels between decadent Rome and today flash, and the observation and lyricism delight and resonate.
Time Out
We emerge dazzled by the poet’s almost pathological sexual anger and disgust and affected by Mr Callow’s beautiful exposé of it.
