Daniel and Oliver in full flow

Sleeping Beauty and Alcestis, created and performed by storyteller Daniel Morden and musicians Oliver Wilson-Dickson and Dylan Fowler, is an evening of four stories, beautifully told through storytelling and music, a perfect mood-setter for the week before Christmas.

“Moving, passionate and vital,”
The Times

Forget any hint of panto kitsch, Sleeping Beauty is a powerful, magical tale of death and rebirth. Award winning storyteller Daniel Morden breathes new life into this most haunting of tales, telling it alongside the Greek myth of Alcestis, awakening a frisson of resonances between the stories. Oliver and Dylan’s heart-stopping original music, specially written for this piece and performed on violin and guitar, stirs the emotions in each tale, adding drama and atmosphere. Take a couple of hours off the pre-Christmas frenzy and soak up these glorious stories, starting the festive season as you mean to go on!

These two special events are suitable for adults
and everyone over the age of 12.
