The Border Readers present Shorelines

The Border Readers are delighted to be returning to Staveley where we get the warmest of receptions from lovely listening audiences in the most intimate and acoustically perfect of small theatre venues.

2025's programme is entitled Shore Lines: four contemporary short stories in different genres, all with coastal locations. Two of them - The Weather Gleam by Tony Glover and Touch and Go by Jo Scott - have been specially commissioned and play out against the distinctive backdrops of Lindisfarne and Amble harbour respectively.

The other two tales - Mud by Ann Cleeves and Crossing the Bar by Linda Cracknell - both happen to be set on the estuary of the Taw and Torridge rivers in north Devon.
