Beth Godfrey - I Don't Want to Fight || Spoken Word Poetry ||

Our November 17, 2023 show at the Scottish Storytelling Centre was a special collaborative show with Bad Betty Press!

In today's polarised political climate, how do we actually find common ground and lead with hope?

Beth is the STANZA Slam winner 2023. Beth has come to spoken word via a background in theatre, primarily acting, fusing her love of words with her gift for performing. She has performed her work at the Traverse Theatre, The Edinburgh Fringe, the Pianodome and the Festival of Physics. Six of her scripts were produced by Strange Town and performed at The Storytelling Centre. She is Engagement Director for Stellar Quines Theatre Company and runs group poetry workshops for Open Book. “I’m interested in the resonance of the voice, of words spoken out loud, puncturing and punctuating silence, the necessity of speaking when we must, saying the important things, and finding the right words. I have evolved toward poetry because it does succinctly what plays do, it takes you on a journey, pierces the soul with precision, and leaves you elsewhere.”
