Giles Abbot tells “Pygmalion & Manayddan”.
Giles Abbot lovingly patches and mends a rare and delicate lacework of the greek myth of Pygmalion and a very personal retelling of Manawyddan, son of Llyr, the third branch of the Mabinogi. Through these stories, Giles explores how we cope with unwanted change and adversity, and how creativity can help us face these challenges and make life work anew.For Giles website click here.
Friday 24th. Feburary.
Luke Oates tells “Hit the Road Jack!” & Leslie Bell tells “The Legend of Ruebezah.” This is the night of the year where we encourage two of our regular floor tellers to crank up their storytelling a gear, and give us a longer retelling of their stories! Tonight its Luke Oates and Leslie Bell. Luke will take us down many a winding road searching for tales of tricksters and stories of extraordinary journeys. Leslie Bell knows of Ruebezahl, a mountain spirit from Silesia, who is not to be trifles wth. But then neither is Leslie….
Friday 23rd. March.
