THE POETRY BROTHEL
An Immersive Literary Cabaret  

At the Century Club - Soho W1

Friday the 16th June 2023 from 8 pm till 1 am

You stand in a dark room, swirling ice in an empty glass, wondering if the frosty feeling in your heart will ever thaw.
A shadowy silhouette shrouded in purple light approaches you.
Their voice is soft and low, the velvet grace of the words, the transcendent covenant, is just a sketch of the things to come.
Your pulse quickens and the breath catches on your lips.


Step into this enchanting world of words and desire as the Poetry Brothel sets the stage for an unforgettable evening at the Century. As you enter a dimly lit parlour, you'll be transported to a realm where poets become performers, and verses ignite the flames of imagination. It's an experience that blurs the lines between literature and live entertainment, leaving you craving for more.

At the Poetry Brothel, every interaction is a tantalising encounter. Throughout the evening, you'll have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one readings with our resident poets, as they whisper their carefully crafted verses directly into your ear. Let their words entwine with your thoughts, kindling a connection that transcends the ordinary and delves deep into the realm of the extraordinary.

TICKETS £15 for general admission or £20 for admission plus a one-on-one poetry session. Please click here to purchase
