Sunday 25/05/2014 Exhibition continues, bar open from 1pm. Then doors open 7pm for Performance of The Handless Maiden shadow puppet show with an after party with CP and Russ playing records for dancing into the bank holiday!
‘The Handless Maiden’: is an adaptation of the Brothers Grimm classic tale of a young woman’s journey to adulthood, complicated by the wily trickery of the Devil. Of course, there’s a prince and a good deal of magic to help her on her way, but its her own resourcefulness that wins the day! This poignant tale features beautiful handmade shadow puppets, great live music and is suitable for children (7+) and adults.
