Darker Tales & Fairy Stories for Grown Ups...
All good stories get better the later and darker it becomes.
Join storyteller Gav Cross and perhaps a late night ghost or two.
Certainly a twist on some old classics.
Almost certainly a smile.
Perhaps a nervous glimpse over the shoulder?
As we scratch our way into the darker routes of the stories we think we know.“Gav Cross treats children like they're horrible and adults like they're children and the results are hilarious and magical. Gav brings energy, joy and a refreshing approach to traditional storytelling, getting the audience involved and keeping them on their toes with the unexpected twists and turns of his tales.”
Larmer Tree FestivalThe audience were hooked by every word as they were led a merry dance through stories.”
Pound Arts“... just on the right side of darkly comic... ”
Bluecoat, Liverpool“A masterclass of storytelling!” ****

,
...with this event, we are really spoiling you (to be said in the Ferrero Rocher advert voice)I’m really excited about this one because after the last two sold out, the feedback afterwards was just lovely - everyone had an amazing time, and we had some lovely matches!
People don’t always come to this because they love quizzes and games nights; they come because of how we do it.
