As the demands of industry change, Britain's workforce is having to look elsewhere for employment. Soon a job may mean being a full-time volunteer or achieving self-fulfillment through sport.

A profile of The Circus of Poets, a South Yorkshire performance poetry group who appear nationwide in clubs, pubs, schools and arts centres merging literary art with pure cabaret.
