What happens when three mates who are also poets decide to work together to put on a show?

Join Dave, Emma, and Steve as they meet in a Black Country pub to plot their path to fame and fortune. Will they be distracted by beer and scratchings? Will they put the world to rights?

An evening of poetry like you’ve never seen before. May contain language.

Featuring Dave Pitt, Steve Pottinger and Emma Purshouse.

This show is part of the PBH Edinburgh Free Fringe.

Review…  “Tonight I have seen something extraordinary. A night of poetry which was fiercely engaging, infinitely accessible, loud, proud and bold about where it came from, but most importantly framed in a manner which gave space for the work to shine but kept the audience on the edge of their seats throughout; this wasn’t just poetry, it was storytelling, and most importantly it was theatre. Glorious theatre.

Dave, Steve and Emma you guys rock. Thank you for being awesome.”

Neil Reading, Director of Arena Theatre
