Malvern Theatres is to host its second ‘As You Read It’ evening, which will see authors read their own short stories to a live audience.

The event will take place at the Forum Theatre on Thursday, May 17.

This year’s finalists and stories include: • Annie Tauk - The Knife Edge, • Fay Wentworth - A Chance For Charlie, • Gussie Hearsey - Be Careful What you Wish For, • Kate Shaw - Sigma, • Moira Miller - Maudie, • Nick Jones - The Operation, • Peter Jones - A Hot Dog Stand, • Stephanie Day - The Dragon Cave and; • Tony Judge - Montmartre Redemption.

Admission is free.
