Brown and queer contemporary storytelling set to stunning live music
Fresh from a smashing run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, critically acclaimed storyteller Niall Moorjani (Mohan: A Partition Story) reimagines the folk classic Thomas the Rhymer in an evening of strangeness, sexy fairies and swearing. An original piece which explores queerness, Scottish race and gender identities through a medieval-inspired landscape. Set to a live and original score from Diana Redgrave, this is storytelling at its experimental best.
Originally commissioned for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2022.
