East of the Sun, North of the Earth

Blabbermouth Community Storytelling presents an evening of traditional oral storytelling for Midsummer. To mark the summer solstice​​, storyteller Dan Broadbent will be sharing an epic Scandinavian tale of magic and adventure.

In order to be reunited with his true love, a young man must seek out a mysterious palace which lies hidden from human sight, somewhere East of the Sun and North of the Earth. As he embarks on his quest he encounters giants and shapeshifters, witches and trolls, but must ultimately work with the creatures of the natural world in order to fulfill his task. This one-hour performance is suitable for adults and older children aged 9yrs+.
