[Book Section]
Drawn from one of the early detailed interviews with sissay about his monodrama, Something Dark, this article contextualises the play in relation to Sissay's poetry and puts the author/performer into dialogue with the many voices that he inhabits in order to represent his life in this facto-fictional form of dramatised life-writing.
