STORY PICK + MIX is a series of wild tales for willing ears in the heart of London, curated by The House of Rumour in cahoots with the Crick Crack Club. These are rough cuts of new work, upcoming voices, and experimental performances that we didn't quite know what to do with...
Step into a maelstrom of myth as irrepressible storyteller Ben Haggarty is joined by electrifying new voice Steph Brittain in a raw preview of a bold new interpretation of a magical battle that shook the farthest shores of Ireland over 2000 years ago.
Centred on the legendary hero Fionn MacCumhail, his children and his life-long struggles with Donn, Lord of Death and King of the World, this tragic tale traces a powerful journey through generations of love, war, sacrifice, enchantment and survival.
Combining fragments of 15th-century manuscripts, archaeology and folklore, Bodies on the Beach is a resurrection of a forgotten epic – an unknown Celtic Iliad.
Join Ben and Steph as they test the edge of ancient myth in modern form. Raw, lyrical, and unforgettable. What will survive the tide?
