The Crick Crack Club presents
THE BLACKSMITH AT THE BRIDGE OF BONES
Performance storytelling by Ben Haggarty
A blacksmith
A boy
A wolf
A serpent queen
And the King’s youngest daughter…
World renowned for his playful & physical performances, let Ben Haggarty lure you into a full-blooded fairytale for grown-ups. This rare tale of male initiations is a story of power, knowledge, responsibility, alchemy, and the darkest magic of all.
Evocative, unflinching, and beautiful by turn, this distant variant of the legend of Wayland the Smith explores that enduring relationship between teacher and apprentice. This is a place where rules aren't broken lightly.
