Which comes first, the music or the words?

This question underpins the programming of ‘Phrased & Confused’ a programme of original spoken word and music orientated theatre shows running at Unity Theatre this autumn.

Featuring a highly topical social commentary on the state of education today (Jess Green: Burning Books, 13th October), an investigation into dominance, submission and the female body (Hannah Silva: ‘Schlock!’, 27th October) and a rap recital of William Blake’s iconic poetry (Testament: Blake Remixed, 17th November), Phrased & Confused aims to use words and music in an equal standing to investigate issues important to us today.
