International PEN presentsThe Insulting Cabaret: Love vs Hate
April 16th 2010
Show starts: 21.30
“In human contact, there is either love or its refusal”
Hanif Kureishi
What do you love to hate? Any secret loves to confess? Where do you draw the line when speaking your mind?
After last year’s sell-out success, the irreverent and provocative Insulting Cabaret returns to Southwark Playhouse on 16th April, as part of International PEN’s Free the Word! festival of world literature, and in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of International PEN’s Writers in Prison Committee.
Hosted by spoken word poster boy Ross Sutherland, this year’s Insulting Cabaret takes as its theme Love and Hate and gathers together an international array of some of the most talented voices in writing and performance today, including Indian poet and musician Jeet Thayil, performance company 30Bird,spoken word supergroup Last Mango in Paris, award-winning writer and actress Pauline Melville and Georgian surrealists Irakli Kakabadze and Zurab Rtveliashvili.
Expect a memorable evening of lyrical and surreal poetry, innovative theatre, live music, DJs, visuals, love-hearts and plenty of Mills and Boon!
