A horizontal, wide-angle photograph shows a medieval stone church and its graveyard, rendered with a vintage trichrome effect that produces surreal, shifting hues of pink, teal, and lime green. The church features a crenellated square tower with a clock, a long nave with arched windows, and a tiled roof. In the foreground, numerous weathered, irregular tombstones and a prominent stone cross rise from the green grass. Bare trees flank the building against a hazy, multicolored sky. A black border with colorful registration artifacts frames the image, emphasizing the experimental, multi-layered analog photographic process.

If you were planning to come along tomorrow and haven't booked a ticket, it looks like you might be too late.
However, Katie always runs a great session, so you might like to get in quick for next month instead: www.wolseytheatre.co.uk/events/wolse...

Dr Andrea Smith mid-way through her talk at Wolsey Writers. She speaks on the mic without notes and gestures dramatically. She wears a blue dress and cardigan, and has her phone ready to play audio clips of Romeo & Juliet.
