"Three times round the circle�
And 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; or of Cryer Bledstone, the Sea Captain afraid of death! And then there's Sci-Fi Sally, desperate to leave this world for life beyond the stars... 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 work, scripted specifically for David, by renowned writer Carl Grose and directed by Olivier Award winner Simon Harvey.��
Suitable for adults and older children (12+)��
Running time: 80 mins approx (excluding interval)��
Written by Carl Grose / Directed by Simon Harvey�
Performed by David Mynne / Produced by Millie Jones and David Mynne
