Events coming up in Ealing

Friday: Welcome to Stepford

Welcome to the world beyond the M25, with its countless small villages where nobody locks their door and everybody knows your business.

Incarnation by Martin Choules - A successful writer enjoys a secluded life, but his past may be about to rewrite his future…

Special Delivery by John Barron - Nothing ever changes in good old Blighty, as long as the upper lips are stiffened and the unwritten rules are followed…

False Widow by Shaun Lindsell - In a small village, most residents are easy to find - but others are far more reclusive, staying indoors and spending all day on the web…
