Speakeasy Spoken Word Night

Speakeasy Spoken Word is back at Sticks & Bones in Hope Square on Tuesday 10 November, from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm. It's a spoken word night that keeps things wide open: poetry, prose and drama, and any genre you fancy. The organisers describe it as introduced by gangsters, compered by amateurs and made brilliant by the audience.

One of the things that sets it apart is that you can choose your own way in. If you've got something you've been working on, you can perform your own work. If you're not in the mood to write, you can recite a favourite writer instead. And if neither of those appeals, you can just turn up and watch. There's no pressure to get on stage unless you want to.

If you're leaning more towards music than the spoken word side of things, there's a separate way to get involved. You can book a ten-minute slot on arrival or by emailing hello@weymouthclimatehub.com in advance. Between the open mic for poetry and prose and the musical slots, the night tends to pull from a few different directions.

It runs from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm at Sticks & Bones, Hope Square, and entry is free.
