The Tale of the Cockatrice

Deep in the vaults of an ancient priory a hideous creature awakens. A deadly cockatrice is born! Bold knights flee in terror! Can a humble nun defeat the beast? The play is based on a little-known legend from British Folklore – an ancient tale of an evil creature, set in the historic village of Wherwell. We hear of the village’s struggles, the lives lost and the heroes slain. Can a humble nun find the answer and defeat the beast?
