A reading of four contemporary short stories by The Border Readers, a regionally-based association of professional actors producing live events in the border counties since 2018.
The Border Readers is an association of regionally based professional actors who have been presenting live audio events in libraries, art centres, galleries, hostelries, village halls, theatres, pubs and historic houses across the northern English border counties since 2018.
Words of Love consists of four contemporary short stories.
- The Row by Penelope Lively is a whip smart piece of comic writing on the ups and downs of married life from the Booker prize winning author.
- Helen Hutchinson's Taking Flight is the poignant story of would be lovers in Victorian Perthshire and the role played by a rural library in shaping their destinies.
- In Plastic Heart by Jeremy Page, Jamie dumps Helen so Helen dumps the clothes he bought her…or tries to. A painfully funny take on the unexpected perils of starting over.
- To Belong To by Kerry Andrew is a heart-warming tale of grief and redemption through the healing powers of community and nature on a remote Scottish island.
Suitable for anyone and fully accessible. Lasts approx. 1hr 50’, inclusive of interval.
