The Thousands

Y’know what’s nice? Kicking back at the pub. You know what else is nice? Being read to. Just imagine if you could combine the two! Cue the dream sequence: musical maestro Duncan Campbell (Mr Wednesday) plays with cellist Felicity Davies as you enter the back room of the Wheatsheaf with a pint of craft beer in hand. Shortly after, a selection of Adelaide’s best actors take turns to stand before you, bathed by a solitary spotlight. They read from a selection of short fiction, the words dulcetly tumbling from their mouths as if they will never speak anything else other than the prose of Tom Cho, Josephine Rowe and more, ever again. Too good to be true? Believe it!
