A beautifully designed live literature show. Imtiaz Dharker, Submarine author Joe Dunthorne and John Stammers write emotional, funny and engaging poems. What Are They Whispering? brings them together on stage for a beautifully designed performance of poems about power in all its forms. Who has it, who wants it, who tries to take it from you? The poets know. This is not just a poetry reading – it’s live literature!
