Valentines we never sent: Storytelling with OurStory Scotland

Saturday 13th February 2010, 1pm-3pm

Lounge Room, Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh

OurStoryScotland collect the stories of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people from across Scotland.

The storytelling for LGBT History Month at Musselburgh this year will give people a chance to explore loves undeclared, loves that might have been, loves that never were, or loves that vanished, leaving some bittersweet memories. A possible starting point could be: ‘You may not remember me, but...’ The Valentines could be funny or sad, witty or wistful, cynical or curious.

Refreshments will be provided. Book your free place by calling 01620 828225 or emailing scowie@eastlothian.gov.uk
