Bernadette Russell, an award-winning author, playwright and storyteller, invites adults to a evening of fireside storytelling that honours the season and our ancestors. Part of the Rough Magic series, this gathering celebrates the turn of the year with the ancient art of storytelling at its heart.
Expect a playful and soulful mix of ghost stories and the oldest folktales, fairytales and myths about life, death, grief, joy and the otherworld. The evening is designed as a place of refuge and re-enchantment, where you are welcome exactly as you are. There are chances to join in with the stories and to sing together, though you are free to simply sit back and listen. The audience will also help co-create a shrine to all our ancestors, both blood relations and those we feel connected to through heart and spirit.
