Three times round the circleAnd faerie-land begins
Three times round the wrong way
And call it widdershins!
(Old Cornish Nursery Rhyme)
Welcome to WIDDERSHINS: a long-forgotten village buried deep in a dark, wild corner of Cornwall. Here, Bob Droll (local raconteur, folklore enthusiast and village-hall caretaker) will take you on a tour of a place where mystery lurks about every corner.
You won’t believe the shocking tales of poor “Pity Me” Jose, the ghost of Treacle Straight bus stop or the Sea Captain who was afraid of death! But beware. The deeper Bob leads you into his forest of far-fetched fables, the more lost you might get...
Widdershins… Tis hard to find but even harder to leave...
Expect stories told with a sting, poetry cracked and darkly comic, unforgettable characters and physical theatre, alongside the usual irreverence, wit and silliness. It will be dark, delirious and delightful.
Under Milk Wood-ish, sort of... only way, waayyy weirder!
WIDDERSHINS is an exciting, original piece of work written specifically for Dave Mynne by renowned writer Carl Grose, directed by Olivier Award winner Simon Harvey.
