Gather deep in 'The Woods' in Mitchelton, to hear ancient folktales before they were tamed, as a part of The Brisbane Anywhere Festival. Meet the feisty, French forbear of Red Riding Hood, dauntless Janet who must rescue her true love Tamlin, and other daring and 'difficult' women. But parents, please leave the children at home. The folktale versions in 'ReWilding Red Riding Hood: Ancestral Tales of Daring, Difficult Women' are definitely not for young ears!
Your tale spinner will be Jenni Cargill-Strong, a nationally recognised storyteller, recently returned to Magandjin~Brisbane after a 30 year absence and now resettled in Mitchelton. Jenni tells her stories eye-to-eye and heart-to-heart, engaging listeners with her warm, expressive style.
The performance is a part of the delightful and quirky Brisbane Anywhere Festival and will be held in The Bothy Bar- an intimate, atmospheric space within 'The Woods Neighbourhood Bar' in Blackwood St, Mitchelton. They serve great food and beverages, featuring a rotation of boutique beers and modern pub fare. Jenni is delighted to have found the perfect venue for an hour of stories in her new stomping ground.
'ReWilding Red Riding Hood: Ancestral Tales of Daring, Difficult Women' opens Sunday, 17th May. Seats are limited. Be daring! Commit early and book your tickets now at https://anywhere.is/event/rewilding-red-riding-hood/
