LONDON: wordPLAY

Tuesday, 1st December, 2009, 7pm-10.30pm, £4.50 entry / £3.50 concessions
The Good Ship,
Kilburn

wordPLAY London spoken word extravaganza presents:
'wordPLAN - Twisted Christmas' - all proceeds to Plan International

The time has come for the last wordPLAY of the year...and it's going to be a 'cracker' (don't you judge me!!!)

Expect the usual laid-back, all-welcoming atmosphere of the jingle-all-the-way Good Ship and general jollity of the wordPLAY audience, who don't miss a beat...unless they're at the bar or 'avin a fag...

Twisted Christmas is the loose theme, though the day when the acts start listening to/obeying anything Becca tells them to do will be the day hell freezes over...though it is Winter in England, so who knows. Eeeeeeeeeenjoy my pretties...and of course: spread the word.
