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!
And we greet September!! This long grinding summer is finally gone, the harvest has been gathered, the barns are as full as they can be (although a meadow-maker friend has told me that this year's hay-harvest is half of what it should be) and it's time for the Autumn Equinox . . . So the September theme is 'All is Safely Gathered In' - the theme comes from an old-fashioned hymn that reflects the traditional farming world that has continued for centuries, all the way back into mythic times . . . So what is actually gathered in the barn? Does the Corn-dolly sometimes move on its own? What do the local landwights and fae-folk expect, and have they been annoyed recently? . . . Release your imaginations!!
