https://www.cotswoldplayhouse.co.uk/whats-on

The event is on Sunday 11 May at the Cotswold Playhouse and starts at 7.30 (doors 7.00). There will be a bar and an interval. The seating is raked so you can see from wherever you sit, and we use a microphone. When you book your tickets you can choose your exact seat.

We often sell out so best not to leave it too late.

The event will NOT be recorded. 

It's going to be a great night. I hope to see you there.

HUGE THANKS to the 78 writers who submitted 112 stories on the theme of Journeys for our 11 May event Keep on Movin'.

My co-judge this time, Chloe Turner, and I have now announced the ten authors and their stories for our 11 May event.

Huge congratulations to these authors and thanks to them for submitting their brilliant stories to SSS. The stories range from the dystopian to the tender, from the hallucinatory to the witty and humourous. It's going to be a great evening.

Jess Blatchley (Bishops Cleeve) – The Year of Mud and Liquids

Robin Booth (Brimscombe, Stroud) – Paulie

David Goodland (Nailsworth) – Elvis and Billy and that Old Crab

Sophie Holland (no relation) (Stoke Gifford, S.Gloucs) – Next of Kin

Joel Levy (Stroud) – Remora

Val Ockwell (Somerford Keynes) – Taking a Leap

Sean W. Quigley (Gloucester) – Making the Most of it

Sophie and Stella are new to SSS and will be the 135th and 136th writers to read at one of our events. Everyone else has read/performed at SSS before - with Robin Booth reading for the 7th time. Steph Smith returns to us after an eleven year hiatus.
