This is the third episode of Stand Up Tragedy Replayed, in which we remix past performances from our live shows so you can hear all of our tragic comedy, music, stories, poetry and much more. All performances were originally recorded at our shows at The Leicester Square Theatre, The Hackney Attic and The Dogstar in Brixton throughout 2012 and 2013. www.standuptragedy.co.uk This episode features some of the Tragic Tales that have been told on the Stand Up Tragedy stage. One of these fiction stories was written by author Vanessa Gebbie at The Leicester Square Theatre in 2012. Then oral storyteller Stephe Harrops tells us a creepy traditional tale about Mr. Fox. Finally, we hear The House That Jack Built, by J. Adamthwaite. www.vanessagebbie.com/welcome www.stepheharrop.co.uk www.jadamthwaite.co.uk We'll have more live performers for the podcast from our Tragic Christmas show on the 12th December at The Dogstar in Brixton.

Flash fiction—also known as short short fiction, sudden fiction, or "a smoke long" fiction—has been around since Aesop's Fables, but it's never been more popular, with magazines and websites now dedicated solely to it. It even has its own national day. In this Litro Lab episode, I talk to flash fiction writers David Gaffney (Sawn-off Tales, Salt, 2006), Tania Hershman (The White Road and Other Stories, Salt, 2008; My Mother Was an Upright Piano, Tangent, 2012) and Calum Kerr, director of National Flash Fiction Day (NFFD), about what makes great micro-fiction. We also hear some of their ultra-short stories, among pieces by Franz Kafka and Vanessa Gebbie. Featured stories (in this order): "Vegetable Mineral" by Tania Hershman, from My Mother Was an Upright Piano, Tangent, 2012. Read by Tania Hershman "The Cares of a Family Man" by Franz Kafka, translated by Willa and Edwin Muir, from A Country Doctor, 1919.  Read by Greg Page "Flight" by Vanessa Gebbie, from Jawbreakers, NFFD, 2012. Read by Claire Lacey "Happy Place" by David Gaffney, from Sawn-off Tales, Salt, 2006. Read by Kenny Reid "Who's the Boss" by Calum Kerr Read by Richard Koworld "Of Human Kindness (Buenos Aires)" by Vanessa Gebbie Read by Claire Lacey MUSIC CREDITS: 'Piano Between', Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ —Emily Cleaver See full article at http://www.litro.co.uk/?p=30641
