Wednesday 27th May 09 - Write To Speak ... Spoken Word At New Hull Truck Theatre
|
Write to Speak is Yorkshire's first theatre based spoken
word/poetry event taking place on 27th May, 29th June and 15th July.
The first night, on May 27th will feature Joe Hakim and Mike Watts,
with support from Mandi Lowe. Taking performance poetry by the throat,
this show will be an unflinching observation of life in the twenty-first
century, an acerbic happy slap in the face of spoken word.
Edgy, dynamic and sometimes shocking, Write to Speak will
challenge and entertain - leave your preconceptions at the door.
