London’s multi award-winning LGBT literary salon returns to the Marlborough Theatre, Brighton, as part of its tenth birthday tour, funded by Arts Council England.
Curated and hosted by author Paul Burston with readings and performances from Sylvia Brownrigg, Cerys Evans, Alexis Gregory, VG Lee and John McCullough.
Previous events at the Marlborough have sold out so book early to avoid disappointment. The event will be BSL interpreted.
“The most exciting literary movement in London… crackling with energy, ideas, excitement”….. Huffington Post
“Lively, funny and inspiring – a gay-themed salon of interest to anyone remotely interested in literature, whatever their sexual bent”….. Patrick Gale
“Always fun, alway thought-provoking – a guaranteed good night out”….. Sarah Waters
There will be a 2 hour creative writing workshop held during the day at each destination, facilitated by Paul Burston, VG Lee and/or Karen Mcleod. £5 per workshop (or free at library events).
One person at each workshop will be offered a place on the bill that evening.
