Fairytales for Grown-ups: The Girl Who Married a Dog - performance storytelling with Nell Phoenix!

At the northerly point of north, before you reach the place where it's south in every direction, it gets very, very cold. In this snow-blinding place the weirdest, wildest stories are told… fierce, rude, funny & seriously strange.

Nell Phoenix revels in the earthy humour and passions of Arctic stories, peopled with unconventional families, the desperate and lonely-hearted, and elderly relatives whose attempts to assist are misguided, to say the least.

This is a place where what happens next is probably not what you’d expect - and some images will stay with you forever....

Running time: 70-75 mins

For adults 16+

Content: This performance contains descriptions of masturbation, sex, death, and animal cruelty contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.
