Tuesday 11 October : 8pm

Poet Ian McMillan brings his BBC Radio 3 programme The Verb to NAC for a specially recorded edition of this unique showcase of the best new writing, poetry and cutting-edge performance.
Ian’s guests include two local writers, Deborah Stevenson and John Osborne (two of the Verb New Voices), who will premiere new work developed through an innovative partnership between Arts Council England, BBC Radio 3, Writer’s Centre Norwich and NAC, to develop spoken word talent.
Science songwriter Professor Karmadillo.
Norwich-based writer Philip Langeskov has studied creative writing at the prestigious University of East Anglia and is a hotly tipped writer of short stories. For The Verb he reads a new piece inspired by landscape of Dunwich on the Suffolk coast, a place which fired the writing of the late W.G Sebald whose ‘Rings Of Saturn’ confirmed him as the bard of this part of England.
And, when just saying ‘mmmmm’ isn’t enough, Chris Gribble of the Writer’s Centre Norwich and the poet Tim Clare will be discussing how to go about finding a critical framework for evaluationg spoken word.
This programme will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 at 10pm on Friday 14th October.
FREE but tickets need to be booked in advance.
