In the middle of the night, a troubled teenage boy is considering what could be his final decision in this world. This is Shy, by Max Porter, the multi-award-winning author of Grief Is the Thing with Feathers. Called "A perfect book" by the Irish Times, Shy is a novel about guilt, rage, imagination and boyhood. It is about being lost in the dark, and realising you are not alone.

In a powerhouse one-night-only improvised multi-disciplinary performance, the critically acclaimed British author will read an exclusive abridged version of Shy, joined by the music guests from the SFSH/37d03d residency for a moving and inventive evening of storytelling.
