FORMER Birmingham Poet Laureate Spoz returns to host the Poetry Slam finals at Redditch’s Palace Theatre next Tuesday (May 2).
Taking part will be Worcestershire’s middle schools in a no holds barred war of words where there can be only one winner.
Like gladiators to the coliseum, they fight and some will fall … but others will emerge victorious – with a jolly nice trophy, a pat on the head from teacher and no detentions for at least a week!
The fun starts at 7pm and this live final is the culmination of a poetry slam project taken on by Worcestershire Schools, which has seen young people trying to find out who has the X Factor…but in a poetic kind of way.
Tickets, priced £7, are available from the box office or on 01527 65203 or buy online at www.redditchpalacetheatre.co.uk
