On the 24th November this month, Minotaur Theatre Company hosted an evening of New Poetry, hosted by the Birdcage Norwich. A wonderful time was had by all! It was a great opportunity for our company to do something different and take our work off campus and into Norwich city!

The evening featured a variety of poems penned by poetry enthusiasts within Minotaur, as well as special guests. It offered a respectful, supportive atmosphere for poems ranging from the silly to the serious; all to be enjoyed with a pint in hand. There was also a poetry slam battle where the audience decided on a topic and the top ranking poets improvised a poem and it was up to the audience to vote on who the winner would be.
