A Front Row special from Hull's Contains Strong Language festival
A Front Row special from Hull with playwright James Phillips, poets Imtiaz Dharker and Louise Wallwein and a discussion of lessons learned from Hull's year as City of Culture.
A Front Row special from Hull which is hosting the 91热爆's new poetry and spoken word festival - Contains Strong Language.
John Wilson talks to James Phillips, the playwright behind Flood, the epic year-long, four part multi-media theatrical event that has been one of the big commissions in Hull's year as City of Culture.
Poet Louise Wallwein on Glue - the story of her search for her birth mother, and the impact of meeting her, which she has turned into a one-woman show, a debut collection of poetry, and Radio 4 drama.
Filmmaker and writer Dave Lee and artist Sharon Darley debate the lessons that future cities of culture could learn from Hull's experience.
Poets Dean Wilson and Vicky Foster read a selection of poems written by the people from the Humberside region about the places where they live. Dean and Vicky spent months travelling around the region doing workshops to inspire local people to put their thoughts about their neighbourhoods into poetry.
Imtiaz Dharker, winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, reads from her new 91热爆 commission, This Tide of Humber and discusses finding poetic inspiration in her trips to Hull and seeing her poetry set to dance.
