Legends of Britain

Performance (45 minutes plus Q+A session)

Suitable for KS2 - KS4/Sixth Form

Traditional stories from the British Isles: of wildwoods and water, of village and farm, of marsh and mountain. Bold knights, crafty country lasses, murderous trees, a half drowned moon... Secret language and otherworldly help from Scotland; wilful Welsh magic; murderous English trees - and much more!
     The greedy and evil meet suitably gruesome fates; wit and courage win the day. Plus - time allowing - Chloë's stunning signature story The Legend of the Rollright Stones.

Of course there's a strong rural emphasis! - Because until less than 100 years ago, 80% of the UK population lived in the countryside. Now it's the other way around. The Legends of Britain keep alive a way of life that is alien to most people, but must not be forgotten.
