Goodness, it’s taken a long time to get back to this, apologies if you were waiting, but I’ve been caught up in the Solstice Shorts preparations. Just over a week to go…!
Here is Anne Macaulay reading I Went to the Market and I bought…
and here is Inua Elams reading Faith in a Time of Double Dip Recessions
Saturday 8th November Middlesborough: Westgarth Social Club, 99 Southfield Rd, Middlesbrough, TS1 3EZ. Doors open 7pm. £3 entry. Readings from Adrienne Silcock, p.a. morbid (accompanied by Kev Howard), Judi Sutherland. Also performing are Kirsten Luckins and Emma Whitehall.
Our next Story Sessions is Queer Tales, 19th February, and features Stella Duffy, Rebecca Idris, Cherry Potts, Anny Knight and Cath Blackfeather.
We still need a reader or two for March: Old Wives Tales – feminist folk tales, retellings or new. Please get in touch if you have something suitable, and are available.
A small reminder that tonight’s story session includes some poetry. Three poets, Esther Poyer, Anne Macaulay and Matt Bryden join short story specialist (and playwright) Nicolas Ridley and prize-winning novelist, author of Rudyard & Trix, Mary Hamer to tell you tales about that complex social structure, the family. Just the thing if you are recovering from spending the festive season with your nearest kin!
Matt will be coming hot-foot from an award ceremony, so may be a bit late. We have a B plan.
Do you like the photo by the way? The girl on the left is my maternal grandmother, Evelyn Blowfield. her mother is Rebecca Kipling, but despite family stories to the contrary, there is no evidence that we are related to Rudyard. It would have been a nice link, but on this occasion truth wins out over fiction.
and YOU? Join in with Flash from the Floor, 100 words of fiction or poetry on theme – write in advance (on the train on the night seems to be a popular method) or in the interval – pens and paper provided.
