The Mk Myth by Phil Smith
Every place has its stories. Sometimes those stories get tarmacked and concreted over. This is nowhere more true than in Milton Keynes. Writer and walker Phil Smith has walked Milton Keynes to find its missing stories. Here he gives Milton Keynes a new myth of itself. Readers can take the book onto the streets and walk or cycle K's journey.
Dr. Phil Smith has claws in several different worlds. One, large and wide, is in performance and music theatre [he has written more than 100 plays for companies including St Petersburg State Comedy Theatre, Opera North and Perpetual Motion, and he is dramaturg with TNT (Munich)]. From site-specific performances in South Devon beach huts, lidos, tea shops and other unconventional settings, to mis-guides in National Trust properties, to counter-tours and drifts in city streets, Crab Man has long practised what he preaches in this Handbook. He is Associate Professor in the School of Humanities and Performing Arts at the University of Plymouth and a visiting lecturer at the University of Exeter. He is also one of four core member of a group of artist-researchers called Wrights and Sites, who have generated a range of mis-guides, performances, possible cities and forests and other wonders and are authors of The Architect-Walker: A Mis-Guide.
