Local Word Writers Festival is an annual three-day event of local writers presenting workshops, presentations and panel discussions for writers and readers.
Showcasing the anthology Into Your Arms - Nick Cave's Songs Reimagined (Fremantle Press 2023), this special evening event will draw on the evocative music and words of Nick Cave to bring to life three original and unsettling tales of crime, faith, violence and love.
"In creating this anthology, each contributor has selected a Nick Cave classic, dug deep into the lyrics, basked in its mood, and reimagined it in their own inimitable style.”
Featuring readings from three local writers and collaborators on this anthology, Rhett Davis, Toni Jordan and Mark Smith (also a co-curator on the project), and beautifully accompanied by MC Vin Maskell and the acclaimed six-piece Stereo Stories band, this event will combine words and music in a way that is guaranteed to inspire the storyteller in all of us.
Canapes and drinks will be provided during interval. Aged 18+
Tickets $65pp OR $55pp for library members (free to join).
*Please arrive for doors at 5pm, with the show commencing at 5:30pm sharp.
This event is proudly sponsored by Bolinda / BorrowBox – your library in one app
