Beyond The Glass Mountain- Stories of love, loss and renewal with Cath Little and Bronia Evers

Beyond the Glass Mountain is a performance by storyteller and singer Cath Little and storyteller and crankie artist Bronia Evers. Together we explore stories of love, loss and renewal, told with words, song and scrolling illustrations.

If the living and the dead could speak, what questions would they ask of one another? How can love and our connection with the natural world help us to remember and renew the parts of ourselves that have been forgotten? Beyond the Glass Mountain weaves traditional and contemporary tales, spoken and sung, with the simple visual magic of crankie theatre.

Suggested minimum age 10+

Cath tells traditional stories from her Irish English heritage and her Welsh homeland. For more about Cath’s work, visit her website.
