| Performance Notes | Presented by Royal Albert Hall associate artist Rhael LionHeart Cape, and staged in-the-round, this special evening aims to reignite the prominence of contemporary British poetry with the help of some of today's most culturally-relevant and accomplished writers and performers.
From recitals by Dylan Thomas, to an 18-year ban on poetry in 1966, to hosting the UK National Poetry Slam finals, the Royal Albert Hall has witnessed its fair share of poetical history.
Now, the Hall will once again become a forum of ideas and expression to champion change, providing a platform for the nations foremost wordsmiths to address the issues we all face in our increasingly turbulent society. |
