THEME ️
*********
This month our theme is Lies. 🤫🕵️♂️❌ Stories of everything deceitful, secretive and false. Blatant lies, white lies and lies of omission. The secret lover, the second family, or the illegitimate child. Bluff, bullshit and coverup. Lying under oath, lying to the police or lying to yourself. I only had one beer, I never got your message, my phone was out of battery. Being lied to by a friend or being deceived by authority. Cults, fraternities and gurus. Snake oil, panaceas and wonder drugs. Bearing false witness, committing perjury, and violating an oath. Or maybe you lied to spare someone's feelings, to protect your privacy or avoid embarrassment...
Do you have a story about lies? Then come share yours on 18th May at the Wardrobe Theatre.

CONTENT WARNINGS ⚠️
*********
In the interest of making the Story Slam a safe and comfortable place to be, storytellers are able to attach content warnings to their stories, to warn of any sensitive or distressing topics. Details of how to do this will be explained on the day. Content warnings are read out before each story to give people a chance to leave the room if they so wish.
