Special Live Music at The Starlight in collaboration with Stratford Summer Music

Break Beat Session with Idris Goodwin

The Starlight is proud to host an evening with award-winning hip-hop playwright and poet Idris Goodwin as part of the Stratford Summer Music festival. Experience Break Beat Session: The Strong Friend — a bold blend of spoken word, rhythm, and theatre exploring vulnerability, community, and strength. Joined by SSM Artistic Director and violinist Mark Fewer, they’ll deliver an evening of rhythm, rhyme, and resonance that blends spoken word, hip-hop, and genre-defying musical textures. 

Whether you're a lover of poetry, classical music, jazz, hip-hop, or innovative storytelling, this performance promises to be a bold collision of words and sound that challenges, inspires, and ignites.
