Words Out Loud marks its last event of the year with the theme of “the dry season”.

Wordsmiths are invited to explore the theme or simply ignore it altogether.

This is a great opportunity to road test new material, celebrate a success or share some inspiration, or simply enjoy a diverse range of spoken word — poetry, prose or storytelling; read or recited; your own work or someone else’s. Performances are limited to 5 minutes each. Sign up on the night.

Held at the Printers Room, a welcoming stair-free space with full restaurant menu and bar available, as well as dinner special each month – enter from Mair St.

Free, with gold coin donation appreciated.
