First commissioned
for the Verve Poetry Festival, Playground is a full-length group poetry
and spoken word show that captures the sounds and experiences of growing up
alongside friends and strangers. Featuring performers who went to school in
four different countries, it highlights not just how universal some of those
experiences are, but also how adult life features its own kind of playground
dynamics: camaraderie, isolation, reprieve and much, much more.
Funny, deeply
moving, engrossing, Playground is group performance poetry at its finest
by four incredible individual poets who become something astonishing when they
collaborate.
