    Description

    A quartet of poets faces the audience; in turn they step up to the mic to perform their poems. A cross between a poetic super-group and ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ the show is fast paced and never the same twice.

    The People's Republic of Poetry national tour is a collaboration between A Firm Of Poets and the award winning Ossett Observer. The evening will be full of humour, pathos, quizzes and audience participation, this is a fun night out that will both move and entertain.

    Your Firm of Poets tonight are: Genevieve Walsh, Victoria Garbutt, Matt Abbott and Ralph Dartford.

    Ossett Observer Presents also offer a pre-show workshop at 2pm, where participants will work with A Firm Of Poets to hone their performance poetry skills and will be invited to join them on stage for the evening’s performance. Work performed by the participants will also be added to an online e-book, which will grow as the tour travels around the country.

    "This is proper, visceral stuff about real life. Poetry for the rest of us. Long live The Firm." - Luke Wright

    "These are poems that stop traffic, consider themselves ruined, pump blood, throw out all the love songs and write them from scratch. They are 'brave as a robin in hail’, full of words that will ‘hold / you through / the hard times.' Dive in." - Helen Mort

    A Firm of Poets provides an evening's entertainment full of charm, warmth and humour in equal measure - not to be missed. - Porl Cooper, Slung Low Theatre

    A wonderfully dynamic group of poets. - The Press, York

    This year’s ‘Word Of Mouth Sensation’ - Beacons Festival
