Description

Are you sitting comfortably? Well you may not be for long... Drawing from their own heritages of Scotland, India and beyond, acclaimed storytellers Peter Chand and Ruth Kirkpatrick seek to excavate tales not often told, bringing them out of the shadows and onto centre stage. Explore uncomfortable, dark themes of jealousy, destruction and vanity, where happy-ever-after is definitely not guaranteed! Accompanied by a unique jazz score from musician Tom Lyne on double bass, this walk in the shadows is one you won't want to miss. 'Two storytellers at the height of their power' **** (TheQR.co.uk)

An enjoyable evening of dark stories! The stories were chilling and left an impression on us long after the show. Ruth was outstanding but we thought that Peter spoke too fast and did not have the desired impact at key moments. Also, we decided to see this play based on the "unique jazz score" billing, but didn't find any "score"; only minimal background notes, which didn't do much to emphasize the story. However, still a good night out if you like dark stories! 4/5 and recommended.

In the blink of an eye, the hour draws to a close, and Kirkpatrick sends us off with a final haunting song that leaves you wanting for more untold, and unspeakable tales!
