WRITE YOUR POEMS, SEND THEM OUT!
We hope that you will be inspired by this show to write further and to write your own poem. If you do and would like to share it with us, we'd love to see it and to add it to our online book.
Email us at boxoffice@unicorntheatre.com and let us know if you would like to remain anonymous, or if we should use your first name or full name when crediting you.
The I, Cinna (the poet) book of poems will be hosted here and on our Issuu channel, and occassionally posted on our social media platforms.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The show uses Zoom Webinar functionality. To watch you will need to download Zoom to a computer, tablet or smart phone. We also suggest you use headphones or external speakers to enhance the sound quality and finally, you will need to have a pen and paper ready as you'll be invited to write during the show.
The capacity is limited for this show to enable the interactive experience. There are a couple of moments where everyone can be seen (but you can choose if your video is on). There will be moments of interaction where you may type or speak to everyone – but you choose if you would like to do this, and how much involvement overall you would like.
Please note: there are moments where flashing images of violence and riot footage will briefly be projected on the screen, and some loud noises.
