Description

The Solstice Shorts Festival celebrates the winter Solstice, (21st December, the shortest day of the year) and Short Story Day with Time themed short stories, poems and music.

This year the theme is SHORTEST DAY. Writers and musicians were asked to provide work to theme and then were invited to respond to each other. This year’s Shortest Day theme mirrors last year’s Longest Night and keeps it short with flash fiction and poetry and song.

In addition to the all-new poetry and fiction, and the folk songs, we have two newly written songs with music supplied in response to the words, one set of new words set to a traditional tune, and a traditional tune for a story too.

We  start at Made in Greenwich on Creek Road, at 6pm; with Katy Darby hosting and Patsy Prince and Ray Newe reading poetry by

A.J. Akoto, Frank Rubino, Jill Sharp, Joan Leotta, Karen Bovenmyer, Karina Lutz, Laura Page, Lisa Kelly, Mario Duarte, Marlee Cox, Megan E. Freeman, Pat Tompkins, Scott-Patrick Mitchell, Steph Thompson, Tim Cremin, Ness Owen, with music written by Zachary Gvirtzman and performed by Peter Thomas and Piotr Jordan, and a specially written song from Juliet Desailly.

At 7pm a Wassail procession led by Vocal Chords Choir collects the audience from Made in Greenwich and escorts them to West Greenwich Library.
