WIDDERSHINS
Adv. To travel in a left-handed or contrary direction; anti-clockwise; to go about something the wrong way; entry to the faerie realm; to walk “widdershins” is considered bad luck. (italic, as PDF)
From the company that brought you Homer, Chaucer, Dickens and Stoker, comes something completely different: WIDDERSHINS. An exciting and original piece of work from the mighty pen of Mr. Carl Grose (Link) and directed by Olivier Award winner Simon Harvey (Link)
Come-a-wander into the weird world of WIDDERSHINS: a forgotten village sometime, somewhere, somewhen, buried deep in a darker, wilder corner of Cornwall. ‘Tis hard to find but, curiously, ‘tis even harder to leave.
Where mystery lurks in every dark corner and the peculiar populace of WIDDERSHINS - from Brill the Butcher to Daphne Utah (R.I.P.) - hanker to beguile you with their far-fetched fables and cautionary tales. Expect stories with a sting, cracked poetry, unforgettable characters and physical theatre alongside the usual irreverence, wit and silliness.
‘Tis dark, delirious and delightful.
Imagine a Cornish ‘Under Milk Wood’...only way, wayyy weirder!
