RRR will be telling tales with the Vayu Naidu Storytelling  Theatre Company:  For one night only, banned are the fluffy red hearts and the '2 for 1' couple deals. Instead we invite you to kick back, relax and enjoy our interactive and cynical spin on all that Valentine's day rubbish. Enjoy stories of blind dates gone horribly wrong, of loves that were never meant to last and relationships in all their strange and wonderful guises: be they cyber, hetero, homo or even... of a kinky nature?  www.vayunaiducompany.org.uk
