Penguin Plays Rough

Photos from Sydney's Penguin Plays Rough night. It's held every thrid Monday at 475 King St, Newtown.

Five programmed writers read short fiction pieces and wildcards can get up and read as well.

The night has running since December 2008 and has programmed writers such as Craig Silvey, Tommy Murphy, Michael Sala, Luke Carman, Fiona Wright, Josephine Rowe, Vanessa Berry and comedian Nick Sun amongst many others, and generally squeezes crowds of 50 - 90 people in the room each event.

PPR was programmed as part of the 2009 Sydney Writers' Festival, the 2009 Imperial Panda Festival, and have helped launch magazines, zines and self published books.
