Single ticket £18.50
Tales of the Mother Goddess!
A universal archetype: the fecund goddess who makes the flowers grow… but Mother Earth is so much more than a floral spring bouquet as she fights against patriarchal oppression, brings reward to the diligent, punishment to the greedy, presides over death as well as life, and invents the sickle in this carefully curated myriad of myths and folktales energetically retold by a master storyteller. Get ready to be swept away by tales of magic and old by the fire of our Great Roundhouse!
The Travelling Talesman, also known as Cliff Eastabrook, is a dynamic storyteller who enchants audiences with myths, legends, and folktales from around the world. With energetic performances and meticulous research, he brings characters to life in settings ranging from intimate gatherings to grand festivals through the power of his storytelling prowess!
There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.
The Travelling Talesman’s vividly told, immersive stories are suitable for ages 16+.
“An engaging performer who has storytelling down to a fine art. His musicianship and acting ability had all spellbound … a magical and enjoyable trip to the Underworld.”
Jane Howard, South Hill Park.
