Miss Congeniality meets Roald Dahl in this rollicking adventure full of blood, sweat and tans.

What will happen when an awkward outsider dives head first into the perilous seas of a beauty pageant? Be transported by a tale about outer change and its inner cost, told in epic poetic style. With added sequins.

In the prime of Ancient Greece there was Homer’s 'Odyssey', in the swell of the Regency age there was Lord Byron’s 'Don Juan', and now, amidst the up-chuck of the reality-TV era, comes 'Poet Vs Pageant' - a must-see show for lovers of emotional, intelligent, tongue-in-cheek performance.
