Synopsis
Forget the panto kitsch, Sleeping Beauty is a powerful tale of death and rebirth. In this magical performance, award-winning storyteller Daniel Morden breathes new life into one of our most haunting stories. Telling Sleeping Beauty alongside the beautiful Greek myth of Alcestis and underscoring the tales with heart-stopping live music, Daniel Morden, Oliver Wilson-Dickson and Dylan Fowler conjure timeless images in the mind and stir deep emotions in the heart. If you’ve seen Daniel and Oliver with The Devil’s Violin Company, Mabon or The Ian Macmillan Orchestra, you’ll know this will be an evening to remember!

Many years ago in the emerging dark ages, when there were no televisions, cinemas, radios, electronic devices – no books, papers or magazines one of the most popular of all entertainers was the itinerant story-teller. He would arrive in a particular village or local area, he would be fed and plied with drink and offered the best seat – usually nearest to the fire.

He would weave his tales of mystery and magic – sometimes making his audience laugh – sometimes cry. Then the next day he would usually be on his way leaving behind the legacy of his stories which his audience would hold onto and perhaps weave more elaborate themes through them as they passed them down through the generations.
