Dead Poets are a Peterborough-based Spoken Word double act consisting of Mark Grist and MC Mixy. Since forming in 2008, Mark and Mixy have been traveling the country, challenging peoples’ preconceptions of both poetry and hip hop. They’ ve produced work for Film4, BBC3 and Channel 4. They’ re bringing a scratch of their newest show to Ipswich for it’ s first EVER live airing. They’ re really excited and they honestly don’ t know how the show ends- the Ipswich audience will be the ones who decide.
Fancy seeing John Clare taking on Sir Walter Raleigh? How about Tennyson battling it out with Christina Rosetti? The Dead Poets show makes it’ s way through our literary heritage, fusing poetry and rap as a selection of poets are presented‘ Horrible Histories’ style before allowing the audience to whittle them down to a final standoff. Once the final opponents are agreed, the Mixy and Mark battle it out live as the two poets selected. You’ ve never seen a show like it.
