David Mynne: Widdershins at the Lyric Theatre
Event Details
David Mynne: A one man performance of Widdershins.
Welcome to WIDDERSHINS: a long-forgotten village buried deep in a dark, wild corner of Cornwall. Here, Bob Droll (local raconteur, folklore enthusiast and village-hall caretaker) will take you on a tour of a place where mystery lurks about every corner.
You won’t believe the shocking tales of poor ‘Pity Me’ Jose; or of Cryer Bledstone, the Sea Captain afraid of death! And then there’s Sci-Fi Sally, desperate to leave this world for life beyond the stars… But beware. The deeper Bob leads you into his forest of far-fetched fables, the more lost you might get. Widdershins. Tis hard to find but even harder to leave…
Expect stories told with a sting, poetry cracked and darkly comic, unforgettable characters and physical theatre, alongside the usual irreverence, wit and silliness. It will be dark, delirious and delightful. Under Milk Wood-ish, sort of… only way, waayyy weirder!
Widdershins is an exciting original work, scripted specifically for David, by renowned writer Carl Grose and directed by Olivier Award winnerSimonHarvey.
