Production details

From Georgia to Gambia and England to Egypt, storytellers, singers and musicians will descend on the idyllic setting of St Donats Castle for the UK’s leading festival on storytelling in a weekend of inspirational tale telling with great food and drink aplenty. Highlights this year include In The Footsteps of Marco Polo, stories from Arabia in Nights in Baghdad and Celtic stories, including two from the Mabinogion which will be retold in words, music and song in a series of stories entitled Out of the Twilight. Nearly 20 storytellers will feature including Sergio Diotti from Italy, Melanie Ray from Canada and Wales’s own Sioned Davies. Sioned is Head of Welsh Studies at the University of Wales, Cardiff and author of the recent critically-acclaimed Welsh translation of The Mabinogion.
