Ode to Leeds is a
powerful new play by Zodwa Nyoni, inspired by the city’s renowned spoken
word poetry group, Leeds Young Authors
Fuelled by love, pride and passion, five young poets
from Leeds are selected to compete at the world’s most
prestigious international poetry slam competition in New York City. As
the competition draws closer, the poets are forced to discover not just
their voices, but what they must find the courage to say.
