OUTspoken October

OUTspoken returns to Leadworks on Wednesday 21 October, with a new line-up of local writers, authors and poets performing live. It's part of a monthly series that brings together the city's writing talent, and since the bill changes every month, it's a different set of voices each time.

The format is straightforward: a few local writers take to the stage and read their work aloud. You'll hear a mix of poets, authors and writers from across Plymouth, and because it's a live performance, you get the work as it's meant to be heard, rather than reading it on a page. If you've been to previous months, the faces on stage will be new this time around.

It's a free event, which makes it an easy one to drop into without much thought. The session runs from 19:30 to 21:30 at Leadworks, 170 Rendle Street, Plymouth, PL1 1TP. Two hours of reading, no ticket needed.
