When Darkness Falls

Storytelling for grown-ups | Running time: 50 mins

This is for those who live in the mounds, the creatures of air and underground. Here the betwixt and the in between, the shadow lands, the Midsummer dream.

Not suitable for children. A chilling array of tales about “the other crowd,” the fairy folk who are not always so friendly.

The audience said:

“It was fabulous. I will never sit on a bus without thinking one of the “other crowd” might be sitting next to me”

“Maria created such a nerve-jangling atmosphere with words, her voice and a simple musical instrument.”

“Enchanting and unsettling.”

Wassail!

Christmas cheer and good health | Running time: 50 mins

Wassail: an old tradition which lies in fellowship, in giving and receiving blessings. Waes Hael (Be of good Health).

What the audience said:

“What a heart-warming show. Now I’m ready for Christmas!”

“Thanks Maria. Your stories made me feel so happy.”

“Magical! And we loved the Wassail brew.”
