Index on Censorship has long championed artists and writers facing threats of persecution, violence or even death.

Since 1972, Index on Censorship magazine has been a platform for original work by writers and artists highlighting stories of censorship and attacks on freedom. These short stories, poetry and plays are published in English for the first time in the magazine. Some are censored in their country of origin, others use fiction to highlight a story that is not being told.

Leading actors including Janet Suzman will read from three such authors recently published in Index on Censorship magazine: Ma Jian (China), Meltem Arikan (Turkey) and Costa Book Award-winner Christie Watson.

Followed by the authors in conversation with Index’s CEO Jodie Ginsberg.

When: Friday 25 September 2015, 7pm
Where: Nash Conservatory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, TW9 3AB (map)
Tickets: Advance £15, includes entry to the gardens
