Exodus has gone but Port Eliot is on its way
July 1st, 2010 | Published in Frontpage, Volume XVIII: Exodus
A hot, muggy June evening in the Falmouth Townhouse was the setting for our Exodus from every day life on Tuesday, as six writers took us on a journey from mediaeval Wessex to a mercury-infused future, with plenty of stops along the way. And what fun it was too.
Telltales XVIII: Exodus saw a great turnout and another eclectic mix of readers perform their work, from the acerbic rantings of Kimberley Stone and the much loved musings of Mac Dunlop, to the chilling latest from Liam Crowse’s novel in progress and the elegant turn of phrase that Jane Tozer offers up with her medieval translations.
So, onwards. In July, Falmouth Townhouse will have a break from us, for one month only, as we take to the stage at Port Eliot Festival. H owever, we will be back in Falmouth, filling out the Townhouse dining room on the 24 August with Telltales XIX.
The theme for August’s Telltales will be Snapshot – a brief glance into someone’s life, capturing a scene, a sudden thought or movement; whatever it conjures up for you. If you’ve got something that works for the theme, or even that doesn’t but you’re desperate to read out, submit through the website – www.wordslikepictures.com/telltales and we’ll have a read then get in touch to let you know if you’ve been programmed.
Look forward to reading your work!
