Dread Poets Society

Rastafarian poet Benjamin Zephaniah is on a train to Cambridge when he and fellow traveller Derek (Timothy Spall) are suddenly confounded by the appearance of Lord Byron, John Keats, Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley. A relentless farce of rap, Victorian poetry and Sun-speak ensues.
