After a break in April, Cornwall's popular reading night Telltales is back this month, taking a long hard look at itself, with a programme musing over Human Nature.

From love and emotion to vice and deception, we're reliably informed that the programme is shaping up to be a corker with performances from Telltales regulars and newbies alike.

Proceedings kick off from 7pm on the 25 May at the Falmouth Townhouse with readings starting at 7.30pm sharp. And if you are writer keen to read out on the Human Nature theme there's still time, submissions are open until the 17 May - just log on to the Telltales website and upload your work then the Telltales team will have a read and get back to you to let you know if you have been successfully programmed.

With Telltales set to perform at the Port Eliot Festival this year and a publication showcasing the talent of Telltales writers set to come out in October, we're sure to be hearing plenty more from this creative writing collective over the next few months.
