About this Event
Join The Writers Workshop for its monthly live literature event downstairs at Sheffield Plate. Each month we invite a published author to share their work and insight into their writing journey, and then we open the floor to emerging writers in our open-mic segment. Your work doesn't have to be polished ... it just needs to sound about right!
The event begins at 6:45PM, but join members of the Workshop upstairs from 6:15PM for some mixing before the event.
To reserve an open-mic slot, email [email protected] before 6:00PM on the day.
This month, we're excited to be hosting the poetry show - Friend. This show is an average guy’s guide to making new friends. Join award winning poet and performer Lewis Buxton in a story about sport, sit coms and socialising. He’ll write poems for his best mates, confess his darkest secrets and with his trade mark welcoming wit, ask how on earth does a man in his thirties make new friends?
Lewis Buxton is a poet and theatre maker described by the Eastern Daily Press as being ‘a performer in full control of his craft.’ He has written for The Independent and The Arts Review as well as having poems published in the foremost literary magazines in the world: The Poetry Review, The Rialto and Magma amongst others. His first one man show ‘Boy!’ toured the UK in 2023 and his new show ‘Friend’ will tour in 2024. His first book ‘Boy in Various Poses’ was published in 2021 and he has played to sold out audiences around the UK.
