SUMMARY:Comb
DESCRIPTION:At times chilling\, hilarious and moving\, Comb is an ode to the stories of the people we have lost. \nThrough a tangled ride into Celtic\, Slavic and Siberian folklore\, Comb is a wake-up call for understanding just how interwoven we all are. When Charlotte was 8\, her Grandad told her the beginning of a story: ‘I saw a banshee once\, just outside of Galway… ‘ Years later a chance encounter led her to find the rest of his story buried deep within family archives. \nThis unbelievable link to her past made her realise that she might actually be cursed. Learn the art of storytelling at a pre-show workshop with Charlotte Mooney\, artistic director of Ockham’s Razor.
