Join us in the heart of our Iron Age village as we sit outside to listen as storyteller Jason Buck delves deep into ancient folklore to tell a series of stories united by one common element… dragons!!
Once every one hundred years, a group of people meet – the same group of people. They meet in comfortable surroundings, and retell their histories and their stories. I was there on one of those nights and I will tell you what transpired, because they thought I wouldn’t believe what I was hearing, and you may not believe it either, when I tell you of their stories, their histories – the stories of Dragons.
The Dragon Club stories bring together traditional and new dragon stories from Britain, Europe and Asia, blending fantasy, folklore, mystery and folk history, for two hours of immersive and engrossing storytelling.
Ages 12+
Licenced bar available. Pre-ordered drinks on arrival for the interval.
Jason Buck has been a performer most of his adult life, including cabaret and comedy, but his passion lies in storytelling. Storytelling – or ‘performance storytelling’, if you want to be a purist – is the art of performing stories, live, to an audience. Not reading – no books or cue cards – telling it direct, like we all do in day-to-day life with our friends and family, but this time it’s about conjuring pictures in the listeners’ minds, waking the excitement of life and death struggles, the sadness of grief, the elation of success, the ecstasy of love and the chill of fearful horror.
Jason specialises in dark fairytales that blend dark magic and uplifting love themes.
Jason has also won silver at the ‘Grand Annual Lying Festival’, ‘Best Bard’ at Profound Decisions’ ‘Theatre of Joy and Sorrow’, and written and published four collections of his own stories.
