First commissioned for the Verve Poetry Festival, Playground is a full-length poetry and spoken word show that captures the sounds and experiences of growing up alongside friends and strangers. Featuring performers who went to school in four different countries, Playground highlights not just how universal some of those experiences are but also how adult life features its own kind of playground dynamics: camaraderie, isolation, reprieve and much, much more. The Second City Poets are award-winning writers and performers who first met at the University of Birmingham. In 2018 and '19 their members won the national competition, UniSlam.
