STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
Music, myth, and fairytale for grown-ups, by Pandvani108 ensemble
When a stranger comes calling, all bets are off,
Fate sharpens her knives,
Love slips through keyholes,
And Time watches it all unravel.
Pandvani108 - maestros of musical storytelling are back with a brand new show - trespassing onto islands of magic, peering into the mouths of gift horses, and launching epic battles with the tax man.
World-class storytellers Ben Haggarty, Emily Hennessey and Steph Brittain set high energy performances of wild myth and fairytale for grown-ups against stunning soundtracks by Raoul Neumann (Trans-Siberian March Band), Sheema Mukherjee (Transglobal Underground & The Imagined Village), and Rav Neiyyar (Bollywood Brass Band & Transglobal Underground). This is gig theatre gone feral.
Expect high romance, strange seductions, and divine interventions as the goddesses and gods of Celtic, Norse, Greek, and Nart myth are cast out, called upon, or caught up in encounters with strangers.
