Festival at the Edge
"Entertaining and accomplished"
Arts Council
A compelling tale, drawn from the fragmentary brilliance of the great Welsh mythological cycle, the Mabinogion.
A woman goes on a great journey,
from her world into our own,
from eternal youth to mortal suffering,
from passionate first love to the strength of love rediscovered,
from vision to understanding.
Intertwined with her story are the stories of a young king, a brave farmer, an old traveller and a shadowy lord of the Otherworld. Not to mention the nine trusted companions, the six treacherous midwives and one of the three golden shoemakers...
The original show was commissioned by the Festival at the Edge in 2003. The show is in two 45 minute halves and is not suitable for under 8s.
