WHAT’S ON – EVENTS

 

BORDER READERS

Friday October 10th 7:30 pm

The Border Readers is an association of regionally based professional actors who
present live audio events in libraries, art centres, galleries, hostelries, village halls,
theatres, pubs and historic houses across the English border counties and into
Scotland. They have toured every year since 2018 (Covid excepted) with intimate
readings of both classical and contemporary ghost and crime stories. In autumn 2024
the readers were back on the road with Land Lines, short stories with a countryside
setting by leading contemporary writers, which received the usual warm and welcoming
reception at Gallery Forty5.
The company makes a welcome return to the gallery with Shore Lines: four
contemporary short stories in different genres, united in their coastal settings. Two of
them – The Weather Gleam by Tony Glover and Touch and Go by Jo Scott – have been
specially commissioned and play out against the distinctive backdrops of Lindisfarne
and Amble harbour respectively. The other two tales – Mud by Ann Cleeves and
Crossing the Bar by Linda Cracknell – are set on the estuary of the Taw and Torridge
rivers in north Devon.
