02/11/12….Mysterious flame-haired story-teller coming to Shabbington

CHARISMATIC story-teller Cat Weatherill is in Shabbington this Friday, November 2nd, to perform her show ?Falling Like Feathers? at the church. Hailed by author Michael Morpurgo as ?one of our greatest story-tellers?, Cat takes us on a journey into the dreamlike landscape of fairy tales.

Laced with luscious language and shimmering images, it?s a step from the safety of the path into the delicious danger of the forest.

A mysterious, flame-haired storyteller arrives at a snowbound castle to tell stories to a haughty queen, her 17 year old daughter and assorted guests. As the snow deepens outside, the storyteller tells of witch-maidens and marsh queens, flowers with the power to wipe memories, poisoned apples, talking doves and a sword sharp enough to wound the wind. Working a mysterious magic with her wonder tales, she will not leave the castle as she found it?

Paula Child, from organisers Friends of St Mary Magdalene said: “We?ve been able to invite Cat thanks to the ?Theatre in the Villages? scheme. Audiences everywhere are enthralled by her story-telling. People keep coming up to me and saying, ?l?ve seen Cat before, and she?s extraordinary?. It?s going to be a spell-binding way to unwind on a Friday evening.”

Falling Like Feathers is on at St Mary Magdalene Church, Shabbington, on Friday, November 2, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost
