SPOKEN WORD
For 10 years, Manchester’s gifted young poets, Young Identity, have been forging a reputation as some of the most magical orators the city and indeed the country, has to offer.
In Standing On the Shoulders of Giants, the poets collaborate with their predecessors Speakeasy, and their older sibling, Inna Voice, to present a poetical production of epic proportions.
