Well Word Life returns once more to the Riverside this month, after a blazing show with Mark Grist and Mixy last time round. This time we're bringing two leading poets from the London literature scene although they've both toured internationally. They also are co organisers of the night 'Chill Pill' in London which regularly sells out both the Albany and Soho Theatre. We'll be bringing back open mic spots for this show too, but book in fast, they dont usually last more than 2 days.
