Everyone has a story to tell; through stories we can make sense of our world. Earlier this year writers Andrew O’Hagan, Eleanor Thom, Ryan Van Winkle, Mae Diansangu, Roseanne Watt, Bea Webster and Siân Bevan collaborated with community groups across the country to collect Scotland’s Stories Now. Now, we share the tales, poems, conversations and words from the people who took part. Come along and join us as Andrew O’Hagan and Siân Bevan take to the stage to read some of the extraordinary work created by the groups they worked with at HMP Kilmarnock and the Sick Kids Hospital, whilst Val McDermid plays the host.
