Our event FAMILY AFFAIR at the Cotswold Playhouse on 3rd November has now SOLD OUT with over a week yet to go!

Thank you to everyone who has bought tickets. Every autumn SSS event in the last ten years has sold out in advance.

See you on the 3rd. It's going to be a cracker.

TICKETS NOW ON SALE + The Authors and their Stories for FAMILY AFFAIR

TICKETS priced at £12, for 'Family Affair' are now on sale -

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

The event is on Sunday 3 November 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.

The event will NOT be recorded. The autumn event always sells out so best not to leave it too late.

I hope to see you there.

THANKS again to the 88 writers who submitted 123 stories, a record number of submissions for a themed event. 

My co-judge this time, Joanna Campbell and I have taken the writers through a Long List and Short List process. And we have now announced the ten authors and their stories for our 3 November event.

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