The Village Square

Sunday 19 January, 3PM
The Village Square combines live music performance and storytelling. Set in an imagined town many years ago (as all good fairy tales are), The Village Square presents stories of love and loss, misfortune and mirth, the graceful and grotesque.
The memoirs sparkle with the magic of traditional mythology. In “One Way Ticket”, The Stone Mason, deafened by the shock of tragic events in his life, finds peace building a bell tower for birds to nest in. In “The Fog”, a thick cloud descends upon the village, and sends the entire population into a deep sleep until the local dogs discover a way to rouse them. “Kind And Sorrowful” tells the story of a young man who is saved from drowning by the River Spirit with unforeseen repercussions.
Evocative, enchanting and above all, human, The Village Square is a captivating combination of music and spoken word.
