Beeston Tales - the Magician's Apprentice

A hybrid event - in-person and livestreamed - details below:

"One of the country's most highly regarded storytellers...she awakens the imagination." The Independent.

With a top hat from a junk shop and mail-order wand, pioneering storyteller and writer Sally Pomme Clayton casts a shimmer of stories, shifting from humour to horror, romance to rumour searching for real magic. In this intimate, enchanting performance Pomme conjures up fragments of myth, antique jokes, dazzling fairytales, snippets of science and mysterious images on tarot cards.

Enter the secret world of the magician and discover why apprentices have always been depicted as female and magicians male? Then meet the most powerful female magician of all - Elena the Wise. In this slight-of-hand world, objects talk, girls become doves, the magician goes mad and the audience all get a magic spell to take home! Join Pomme as she opens the magician's suitcase, finds smoke and mirrors and sets off on a fairytale quest to discover what's real, what's illusion, who's the apprentice and who's teacher?

“Some people are born to entertain. It's a special kind of magic. Sally Pomme Clayton has that magic in plenty – she is a dream-weaver, a spell-binder.” -- The Londonist
