Tales from One Thousand and One Nights with storyteller Jessie Wild
Tickets - £8 concession, £10 full.
What can save the world from drowning in anger, betrayal, and blood-soaked cycles of retribution? What can stop the slaughter of innocents?
For Scheherazade, it was stories.
Story after story. Night after night. Until, finally, she pierced the soul of the king.
But will there be a happy ending?
Join storyteller Jessie Wild, who will amaze and astound you with her magical, and sometimes anarchic, retellings of these classic tales. Marvel at flying wooden horses, a queen who gave birth to a cat, and a case of flatulence fit to fell even the mightiest of egos: a tale not to be sniffed at!

Twenty years a Teller with Peter Chand
Dazzling folktales from India
Dazzling folktales from India
Tickets - £9 concession, £11 full.
International storyteller Peter Chand has been telling stories around the world since 1999. In 2006 he gave up his full-time job to try his hand at being a professional Storyteller. He thought he’d try it for a year. Now twenty years later, after telling stories as far afield as Singapore, Ireland, Canada, France and Greece amongst other places he shares some of his favourite stories with us for a night of dazzling folktales from India, many which he has collected and translated from family. Peter will also be sharing memories and anecdotes of some of the amazing people and experiences he has had over two decades of being one of Europe’s most prominent storytellers.
