Wednesday, 28th May, 8pm, £8, £6 concessions.
Soho Theatre,
21 Dean Street,
London
W1D 3NE
A decade is a long time in performance poetry. Come and see one performer who's going from strength to strength after ten years in the business, another who's spent the last ten years carving a substantial niche for himself, and one talented newcomer with a promising poetic future in front of him. Add an international artist who's busy redefining the whole concept of spoken word, and we've got a crash course in the nation's favourite underground artform.
Featuring:
Patience Agbabi – tattooed poetry ambassador who has strutted her stuff everywhere from Eton College to Namibia; now promoting her new collection Bloodshot Monochrome.
Luke Wright - Edinburgh Fringe institution, star of the hit theatre show Poet & Man, and the creative force behind Latitude Festival's stand-up poetry arena.
Keith Jarrett - not the famous jazz muso, but a hotly-tipped and charismatic new face on London's poetry stages.
Rosie Dennis - well-respected Sydney voice-artist, known for blurring the lines between text and movement; tonight airing her Love Song Dedication piece.

WARWICK: Apples & Snakes - Zena Edwards
19th May 2008, 7.45pm
Warwick Arts Centre
Book: 020 7223 2223 / www.warwickartscentre.co.uk
SECURITY
Written and performed by Zena Edwards
Set within the beating heart of London, the chaotic stories of five characters in crisis are exposed through the eye of a camera. What happens when one generation collides with another and cultural expectations clash? Does the flash of a blade in broad daylight mean the end or the beginning of security? Find out when age and youth battle as Palestine meets Peckham. This comical and moving tale of unexpected friendship confronts the issues of security and identity through a fusion of performance poetry, theatre, movement and song.
Security is a newly commissioned piece pioneering the crossover of performance poetry into theatre in the UK. As performer and writer, Zena Edwards, takes storytelling into the twenty-first century.
Zena Edwards is a mesmerizing performer of deeply lyrical, musical, streetwise poetry. The Verb - BBC Radio 3
