As featured on BBC R4: We challenge you to submit an original story consisting of just 25 words - any subject, any style, whatever inspires you! The best 25 submissions will be judged by Dame Margaret Drabble and performed by leading actors including Bill Paterson, Rula Lenska and others to be announced soon!
This live-streaming event will take place at 12.00 noon on
World Stroke Day, Tuesday 29th October.
​
The 25 word challenge is part of InterAct's 25th Anniversary celebrations. If you haven't already, we recommend that you check out our episode of You and Yours on BBC Sounds or Michael Billington's article in The Guardian, to learn more about our 25 years of work.​​
