The Ambassador's Reception
Event Information
Description
There are three things you should know about The Ambassador's Reception:
-
It's renowned for its exquisite taste.
-
The guests are being spoiled.
-
One of them is a murderer.
Poetry as F‽ck and Interrobang‽ cordially invite you to The Ambassador's Reception – a murder mystery in spoken word form, set in the extended Ferrero Rocher universe. This is a place where the suspects accuse and defend themselves in verse and prose, as the audience look on as if guests at an ambassadorial event. The dress code is formal. The event is immersive. The entrées are deadly.
Featuring some of the brightest talent in the Scottish literary scene, The Ambassador's Reception was inspired by the ancient art of flyting, crap Nineties advertising, and a really intense game of Cluedo.
Witness a unique event at the bar of one of Scotland's up-and-coming breweries, and see if you can work out who the murderer is.

- 'Lies, Dreaming' - a digital open mic night based around a theme, with recorded spoken word submitted by listeners; and
- 'Eight Poems That, If You Had To Be Trapped In Some Way For a Prolonged Period Of Time With Little Hope of Rescue, You'd Quite Like to Bring Along For Coping Purposes' - which is like Desert Island Discs but with poems and more existential terror.
