GOD SAVE THE TEEN & LIVING FOR THE CITY

As part of Museums at Night 2015, Derby Silk Mill hosts a spoken word double bill of words, local stories and music from East Midlands poets and DJs. Stories range from tales as a Youth worker, to experiences in care and poverty, from poems about family relationships, to accounts of starry eyed punks and disappearing Goths.

“Hip, edgy takes on pop culture and the dark underbelly of the city”
- Ash Dickinson

(review of Mulletproof Poet) “Blisteringly brilliant” Cheltenham Poetry Festival

God Save The Teen: a show about growing up and getting it wrong
Written and performed by Andrew ‘Mulletproof’ Graves and directed by Rob Gee.

In this funny yet heartfelt story, Andrew ‘Mulletproof’ Graves looks back at his days as a Youth Worker, offering tales of drugs, relationships, starry eyed punks and disappearing goths. All seen through the eyes of a lonely teen at odds with his aloof single father.
