An Ancient Myth for a Modern Time
Storytelling at the Acorn Theatre Penzance. Fri- July 19th
Join me for an entertaining evening away with the Faeries as I brings together a selection of tales from different regions of the British Isles. Some funny, some tragic but all just that little bit dark. Tonight, among other things, you will discover why you should never leave both your front and back door open at the same time. I mean, if that isn’t inviting trouble then I don’t know what is!
