42 - Open Mic Night (Gothic, Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy)

On Wednesday this week we held one of the most fantastic "42" nights we have staged since we started. We are both really proud that 42 has always attracted so may truly talented people, but we even saw our first international contribution form wordsmith extraordinatre @Jackie Summers! We were overrun with new support, and as ever saw the sterling and invaluable support of Worcester Music Worcestershire Film Festival.

The open mic event "42" is designed to be a performance platform for writers, performers, poets, comedians and satirists with a passion for genre subjects.

The events now well known founding four themes are Gothic, Horror, Fantasy and Sci-Fi, but this list is neither excusive or exhaustive, and the event welcomes contributions from a huge spectrum of genre work.  As a guide, here are some of the themes "42" embraces:

Gothic, Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, Steam Punk, Alternative Reality, Alternative Timeline,  Pagan themes, Lost Civilisation scenarios, Dungens and Dragon or sorcery themes, Alien conspiracey/Abduction/invasion scenarios, scenarios about ancient cults or religions, (Either contemporaneously or due to them surviving in some sinister aspect into modern life), Thriller writing, Ghost stories, Film Noir, and of course comedy takes on all of the above.  We encourage writers penning works related to established shows or franchises such as Doctor Who or Star Trek on the proviso that they acknowledge the makers copyright, (the BBC, etc), and that their works are fan produced.

The night is a voice for performers, and we advise everyone taking part to copyright their work in the conventional way before performing, to protect their copyright.
