THEME
*********
This month our theme is lightning Stories of storms, thunder and lightning. Strobe lights, police sirens, and stun grenades. Power, danger and transformation. Jolts of electricity, electrical fires and closing the circuit. Flashes of inspiration and stories of stupendous luck. Does lightning ever strike the same place twice? Your eureka moment, those 90's plasma globes, and fizzing tesla coils. The deep boom of an explosion. Calming looking out the window at the rain, or watching a dramatic storm roll in. Lightning fast reflexes, capturing lightning in a bottle and stories of fiery love, passion and intensity. Tornadoes, volcanoes and gods...

Have you got a story about lightning? Then come share it with us, September 20th at The Wardrobe Theatre

In the interest of making the Story Slam a safe and comfortable place to be, storytellers are able to attach content warnings to their stories, to warn of any sensitive or distressing topics. Details of how to do this will be explained on the day. Content warnings are read out before each story to give people a chance to leave the room if they so wish.
