42Worcester is the Worcestershire 'alternative genre' monthly Spoken Word event covering gothic, horror, sci-fi and fantasy. It is held on the last Tuesday of every month— the online section opens at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start.
42Worcester is a hybrid event. Our venue is the wonderful Script Haven, 104 High Street, Worcester - not far from the Cathedral - the cafe/bookshop/Spoken Word Hub in a historic building where Charles Dickens once stayed . . . If you can't get there in person, we are also on Zoom, for both audience members and performers.
The Zoom invitation / link will appear here on the day.
We issue a prompt for most months of the year and while pieces that reflect the prompt are preferred, we understand that not everyone will have a piece that ‘fits’. That doesn't matter - we want to hear what you write!
We're at the end of July - the schools are breaking up, the long holidays are about to begin. Families are spending more time together - possibly too much time. The family dynamic is always complicated - there are plenty of possibilities for strange dark narratives. There used to be a saying among traditionalist religious folk that 'The family that prays together stays together' - I wonder who or what they could be praying to? Or maybe I've mis-heard it, and it's actually 'The family that preys together stays together' . . . Unleash your imaginations - the theme for July is 'Keep it in the Family' . . . Good luck!!
