FAIRYTALES FOR GROWN-UPS: LOVE RITES

Ben Haggarty, Steph Brittain
13 June 2024, 8PM

A man buries his heart…
A woman becomes a wild creature of the trees…
A corpse hangs by its hair...
The God of Love’s wife takes the reins and spreads desire.

Storytellers Ben Haggarty & Steph Brittain chase a timeless theme through the forest of grown-up folktale, fairytale, epic and myth, to find the love we seek; the love we fear; the love that transcends; the love that burns, the love that heals; and the love that entangles sex and death and rebirth.

Expect strange attractions, eros, madness, romance, intoxication, and betrayal. Bring your heart and join the pursuit of the eternal mystery of, ‘what is this (crazy little) thing called love’?
