Between The Lines is a promenade performance taking place at the Central Library on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September at 7pm, 8pm & 9pm.
Intriguing events are unfolding between the dusty bookshelves.
Night time strangers exchange unexpected messages, books fall open on empty pages, and a writer is eating his words.
Silence creeps through the maze of lettered corridors.
Some people come here to lose themselves, others to be found.
The Library at Night is not for every Reader
I have no idea what it will involve but it looks kinda cool. Places are free but, because of the nature of it you’ll need to book – just call 07530 939 380 or email needleandthreadtheatre@yahoo.co.uk.

I only know cos we happened to wander round to the Library Theatre to see what was on there. The people there (not Natalie from Needle & Thread) agreed the progamme was misleading but still blamed us for the mistake so we decided not to bother trying to catch a later one.
Shame, cos we were looking forward to that.
Yeah that was me (also in jumper and looking bemused).
Yeah it was a shame to miss it, sounded good. I know it’s my fault for standing in the wrong place but if it was just round the corner and people were missing from the guest list(I saw about ten people including ourselves wander off) you’d think someone would just do a quick ‘straggler check’ before starting. Ho hum.
Got to see the Levellers so I was happy anyway!
