Kwame Alexander performance

How did it go?

We had such a great morning at The Old Vic Theatre with Kwame Alexander. The audience loved Kwame and were so excited to hear his vibrant poetry and ask questions about his life and work as an award-winning writer. With 890 children all fired up by the show, the noise was incredible! We don’t think we’ve ever heard so much cheering.

Everyone went home smiling and talking about what they had experienced, with their own copies of The Crossover to carry on the excitement.
