THEME ️
*********
This month our theme is Sugar. Stories of everything sweet, delicious and syrupy. Donuts, sweets and bubble tea. Caramel, toffee and chocolate. Molten sugar, sugar cubes and sugar cane. Icing, custard and cake. Strawberries and cream watching tennis, sweet popcorn at the cinema, and candy floss at the fair. E-numbers, artificial flavouring and sweeteners. Saccharin sweetness, overbearing cuteness and nauseating sentimentality. Diabetes, decay and corrosion. Sugar dissolved in water and Absinthe, and sugar pills promised to cure you. Sugar babies, sugar daddies and the pursuit of sweetness of all kinds. Temptation, seduction, corruption.
Do you have a story about sugar? Then come share it on 21st September 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.
