THE STORY: Mad Gods & Wild Spirits
Henry Everett will spirit us to Medieval Britain, for the tales of Robin Goodfellow, aka ‘Puck’. Hobgoblin supreme, famous character of British folk and fairy lore for over five hundred years. His prankster spirit is entangled between human destiny and the song of eternity.
Then we journey to Ancient Greece for the tales of the Great God Pan. Ancient Greek God of pasture, overlord of wild creatures, and ruler of solitary places… ‘The Great God Pan’ came to embody the spirit of the wild, and one of only a few Greek Gods to have died.
FOOD & DRINK: Interval refreshments
The evening's performance will be split into two parts with a half-hour interval allowing for food & refreshments. Your ticket includes a selection of
light food options, plus hot & cold drinks.
AFTER THE SHOW: Pixie Folk Tales
Once the stories are over, there will be time to meet with Henry and take a look at his new book of collected stories – as well as time to relax and explore Talliston's many rooms, each one a story in themselves.
