A blacksmith. A boy. A wolf. A serpent queen. And the King's youngest daughter...
Renowned the world over for his playful and physical performances, Ben Haggarty will lure you into a full-blooded fairytale for grown-ups this Father's Day. This rare tale of male initiation is a story of power, knowledge, responsibility, alchemy and the darkest magic of all.
Evocative, unflinching and beautiful by turn, this distant variant of the legend of Wayland the Smith explores the enduring relationship between teacher and apprentice. This is a place where rules aren't broken lightly.
Tickets: £12
Suitable for: adults (14+)
Running time: 70 mins, no interval
DOORS: 7pm, STARTS: 7.30pm
BOOK NOW: https://bit.ly/4n04sNi
Content Warning: This performance contains references to death, violence, mutilation and animal cruelty contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.
