FR#306 The Wickerwork Man: a mumming play / Melinda Bronstein

It is time to keep your appointment with… The Wickerwork Man. The Wickerwork Man is Trudgepig Folk Theatre’s take on a cult folk horror classic. The search for a missing child leads The Sergeant on a merry dance through the remote and idyllic Mummerisle. Can the upstanding outsider resist the lure of the comely Landlord’s Daughter? What sinister secrets are the islanders hiding? And what really happens here, on May Day? Trudgepig Folk Theatre irreverently reinterpret traditional mumming plays, bringing a healthy dose of absurdism to English folk traditions. Expect masks and tatters, song and dance, and plenty of unruly audience interaction.

Melinda Bronstein is an experimental musician based in Margate. Through haphazard live looping she creates beautiful melancholy atmospheres using casiotone, found objects and 'noises & toyses', finding magic in the mundane through brooding, ethereal songs exploring loss, hope, conflict and realignment.
