Join Jason Buck and Cath Edwards ...
Shakespeare was a scavenger of plots and themes and many of these are found in traditional folk tales. Here's the chance to hear some of those inspirations: stories of Herne the Hunter, the bloodthirsty and murderous Mr Fox, the daughter who didn't praise her father enough and was banished in A Love Like Salt and more.
Professional storytellers Cath and Jason transport you back to a time of mystery and magic, when not everyone lives happily ever after.
