The Poets' Revival
Featuring George the Poet, Kae Tempest, LionHeart and more
The Poets' Revival
The poet or the revolutionary is there to articulate the necessity, but until the people themselves apprehend it, nothing can happen
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 nation’s foremost wordsmiths to address the issues we all face in our increasingly turbulent society.
