The five winning stories for our Beginning & End event on Tuesday 13th May have been selected! They feature a bewildering array of subjects including birth, death, fiery apocalypse, Aussie fishermen, rodent kebabs, eidetic lovers and what to do when you're stuck in a lift with a movie executive.
The Guardian named us as one of the UK's Great Storytelling Nights just a few weeks ago, so come along and see why ... it's only a fiver on the door, which includes a programme and the chance to win free books in our fabulous fiendish literary quiz.
