Poetry at Olive's
Victorian Christmas event: Tuesday 11 December at 8 pm
Poetry at Olive's is a monthly community poetry event, held at Olive's Café, 40 Elm Hill, Norwich. Our Victorian Christmas evening will be an OPEN MIC event. Short readings of poetry and prose selections from Dickens, Hardy, Emily Bronte, Christina Rosetti, Thackeray and others will explore Christmas in the Victorian age. A pianist will play some familiar melodies. If you would like to read something from a favourite Victorian writer, please contact us in advance to 'book in' your piece. Otherwise, turn up on the night and bring more than one selection just in case someone has beaten you to it with a particular idea !!
