About

12 poems. 3 performers. Endless possibilities.

Inspired by the creativity of Sefton’s most talented young writers, Poetry Slammed! brings a selection of standout poems to life in a unique live performance by EggPeople.
The twist? The performers don’t know what’s coming until the poems are revealed. From hilarious characters and inventive stories to thoughtful reflections and unexpected surprises, every poem becomes a springboard for spontaneous theatre making.

Expect songs, slapstick, puppetry, high drama and plenty of unexpected moments as 12 young voices take centre stage in a celebration of imagination, creativity and the power of words.
Join us for an afternoon of fun, mayhem and inspiration as these incredible poems leap off the page, and onto the stage.
