Two Free events
THE WORLD PREMIERE OF 'AUSTERITY CAFE - A RHYME OPERA' HELD
IN THE BAR AT ROUGH TRADE NOTTINGHAM.

FREE – no booking required/no wristband needed.
An experimental fusion of political satire, fractured
melodies and home grown verse, serving up bite-sized chunks of UK sociopolitial
pie. Yannis owns Austerity Café, where he welcomes customers and gives them
floor space to air their views. We get to hear from Karl the protestor, Phil
the long distance lorry driver and George the banker. Poetry open mic slots
available. All parts played by Andy Szpuk, with supporting crew.
All welcome
Or
SUGAR AND SNAILS BY ANNE GOODWIN – A READING/DISCUSSION AT
FIVE LEAVES BOOKSHOP
7-8:30pm,
FREE - Booking recommended, please RSVP to
fiveleaves.bookshopevents@gmail.com or call in to the shop.
In recognition of LGBT month, writer Anne Goodwin will be
reading from and discussing her debut novel Sugar
and Snails. The book takes a sensitive subject matter, handles it with all
the force of a freight train and leaves behind nothing but a truly immersive
reading experience. Taking place in both the present and the past, between the
urban streets of Newcastle and the pyramids of Cairo, the story is one of
startling honesty and emotional connections. It carries comfortably the mantles
of literary and LGBT fiction but, at its heart, is nothing more or less than a
superb piece of modern storytelling.
All welcome. Refreshments available, 15% discount off
purchases made on the night.
