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!
According to TS Eliot in 'The Waste Land', "April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land" - perfect for 42, then! Cultivate your dead land, breed some very strange lilacs, and bring them to us in a terrifying, metaphor-stretching bouquet with a peculiar fragrance . . . And our theme for April is 'Therapy is Required' - it probably will be afterwards . . .
