“I'd dismantled his blag, seen through his simple tricks, He'd been feeling about, reading letters with his fingertips, What happened next meant he'd never get his smile back,I chucked aside the table and garrotted him with my tile rack” Harry 'The Hackney Hacker' Jones
Manchester’s freshest lyrical outfit Pen-ultimate burst onto the scene with their debut show A Night on the Tiles, taking you into a seedy underworld where gangsters, high-rollers and con-men compete for big money in a high stakes Scrabble tournament to end them all. Tightly woven lyrics mix with elements of heist, caper and kung fu movies in an epic tale of violence, revenge, wordplay and Devonshire cream tea.
With dramaturgy from the sharpened pen of legendary US Hip Hop Theatre pioneer Will Power, and directed by Montserrat Gili of the internationally acclaimed Dende Collective, the show is a unique and groundbreaking combination of spoken word and theatre.
Pen-ultimate - Ben Mellor, Ali Gadema AKA Frisko Dan, Martin Stannage AKA Visceral, Niven Ganner and Samira Arhin-Acquaah AKA Lucidity - is a richly diverse collective of nationally and internationally recognised poets, actors, MCs and playwrights.
